OP here. I really don't think this thread is depressing as some say. It is a frank discussion that real people normally have in private with their closest friends. It has certainly helped me put a lot into perspective, so thanks to all.

I think as human beings we naturally want intimacy and security in a relationship. It is just that, in the absence of a need to be a parent, then there are many other ways to get that intimacy and security. Signing on for a lifetime with someone who I am likely to end up as roommates with, is worse than just owning my own place, having my own career, and living my own life, but know where to go as and when I need to be intimate with someone. Reading through the responses, I think I stand a better chance of being intimate more often with a FWB or on the dating market, rather than a roommate I am supposed to spend the rest of my life with. Yes there are the added benefits of shared property ownership, building wealth, building a project or venture together etc. It's just that, is it not really worth it in my young age group. Congrats to everyone who has found happiness with their  spouse, but marriage seems really overrated.

It's just the raw reality.[/quote]
