I do not want to spend the rest of my life alone. But even more than that, I do not want to ever be divorced a second time. Steve's statistics, that 50-60% of 2nd marriages end in a divorce, terrifies me.
This is the crux in my opinion. People do not want to spend the rest of their lives alone, so they make shitty compromises that blow up in their faces. It is only when people get content with being alone and not act in desperation, they attract the right kind of people.
