@Prinzinc Of course you saw my message like that, and there's a term for that: Tunnel Vision.

I just gave you examples of success in marriage with my family, even in the "messy" and "gambling ridden relations" that my family had and, except for one uncle, everyone is happily married with kids, and sadly you only focused on the "what if" statements, which by the way, it's one of the million reasons why your way of thinking is really not that "more successful" because life is not a straight line, life is about those what ifs that you hate so much, by asking "what if I get sick, and I don't have any money" you can then rationalize "I should save money to cover any medical fees", "I should get a job that includes medical care" or "What if I want my kids to go to an excellent school" then you think "I should investigate the schools around me and see if I have to relocate" and so on. Also, those "what if" that you hate so much is the reason why we are having this conversation, because you are asking "what if you let them date so early/date around and they end up gambling their future, I won't allow that"

Sadly, you seem to think “My way or the highway” so yeah, continue to see this path as the stupid one because you are right and never wrong. Good luck to you as well my buddy, you will need it.
