You know what else is sad, at least in Singapore? They tie the knot to qualify for cheap housing...

We have been sold a lie. Marriages is not about happiness. I would argue marriage is not a source for happiness. The fact is life is full of suffering and hardship. You get married so that you don't have to go through that hardship alone.

Imagine life's hardship as an ocean and you are floating on it on a raft. You either float in it alone until you die or have a wife and kids on that raft with you. But among yourselves on the raft, you could also have conflicts and disagreements but you are not alone.

So eloquently written

Actually, if you read what I'm saying properly instead of using your ego you might actually catch the correct meaning.

To put it simply, i'm not saying smoking/alcohol "must be bad", but telling you the dangers of it and be careful with it. For example, most drunk people will not admit that they're drunk and that's how DUI accidents happen. You are the equivalent of the drunkard now.

imagine two incomplete people come together and usually its the kids that are trained to be incomplete. That's like 98% of human populations mindset

most adults are not capable to raise their children properly because of their bullshit family and social conditioning that hasnt been unwired.

There are some children that can break free of that negative orbit… and learn how not to adopt the same bad habits. You’d be surprised.

I have friend who once expressed he regretted marriage. After his son is born I never heard that from his mouth. It may or may not be a good marriage but from how I interpret all his stories to me is that both him and his wife had different expectation in marriage. Probably what I would say is to manage your expectation and hers in looking forward to married life.

No marriage can ever be made in heaven. There’ll always be ups and downs in any commitment or any relationship.

It’s how you work things out together that gives meaning to the marriage.

This!

So damn expensive to own apartment now in SG, either rent forever or get married.

HDB flat for PR still expensive for most, this is why some rather live in JB and endure the daily traffic into SG.

Hence many who've sunk roots here have turned in their blue IC for a pink one... the subsidies for citizens are quite substantial.

The only bad thing is no get to piap another amoi jer
