I may take it to an extreme, but your original post can be taken to an extreme as well. My extreme is backed up by statistics of broken families and personal experience. Too many men not taking care of business.

I agree with you, if you want to set the world on fire on your terms do it. However, once you walk down that aisle and say "I do" you are making a pledge. Once you decide to make woopie you are accepting the responsibilities in case you are also making babies. When you do those two things you are voluntarily changing your commitments. If you don't want to change your commitments, then don't. Once you have made those commitments, honor them. It's just that simple to me.
