Tom, I don't say that in order to demonstrate or prove your fidelity you should obviously marry a woman. I also love freedom and independence and I never marry any man only because it is a custom or tradition of the society. I've got one more reason for hesitations - I'm simply scared to do it in a foreign culture. In other topic I said that being in a couple for me means to have a common goal. When two people have a common goal, they don't have time, interest or wish to spend efforts or emotions on any stupid things, to create awful situations, to get some portion of adrenaline with destructive suspicions. Life is so short!!!!
