Most men don't like to be treated as walking ATMs & sperm donors. This is one reason why more men are refusing to marry and some of those refusing to marry are also avoiding fatherhood.
They do not want to pledge sexual and social fidelity in front of witnesses. On a higher level, the thought of signing a legal document that obligates them to share at least half of their income and/or make ongoing payments (should the relationship end) is daunting.
Choosing wisely and treating kindly is essential. It will USUALLY works out if you do. There are exceptions, such as if some trauma changes your spouse's mentality for worse and they become abusive, dangerous, or destructive. I will also add that we can USUALLY choose wisely. Being together long enough, discussing, observing, and getting counseling before marriage will USUALLY work.
There ARE a few people who can hide who they truly are long enough to get married, and often long enough to have kids. If it weren't so, there would be no such thing as spies/double agents or law enforcement using undercover infiltrators.
