Many older men friends told me I should do that but I fell like it was weird so I went against their advice. So far 11 years (and four kids) in and I don’t regret this at all. And my wife and I fight a lot. We are from very different cultures and different personalities.

I’m convinced that once you have kids, there is no way back.

I’m sure there are some crazy exception cases when divorce is the only way out but I like to keep that option terrible, expensive and unknown. Burn the ships!
