[Men who are in a relationship/married to a woman] How many of you got with a single mum and loved it? Why?

That is tragically disappointing. My view is that single parents would already understand the harsh consequences of collapse, and would be more able to select a partner with common interests that can be pragmatic, yet still affectionate. I was raised by my father, and he likewise had two terrible marriages before finding a partner he could rely upon. The bankruptcy from the divorce with my mother affected the resources available for my upbringing, as well as that of my halfsister, halfbrother and stepbrother.

This is why I feel single and childless should be empathetic, but seperate. The complications can pose the risk of those entangled in the mess from having the best chance of partnership and the creation of their own families.
