Stupidity knows no limits.

How tragic, that people no longer have the cow sense, the judgement, the wisdom, the gut feeling, the intelligence to size up when a potential partner could be a nasty bad hat? You don't trust the person you date? That they need PIs to tell them whether or not a potential spouse is a bad hat or not? What do we need next, PIs to tell us we have no

Yar, people tend to get a bit stupid when they think they're in love. Very often I think it's really just a matter of convenience... like they find someone who doesn't turn them off completely and it's just easier to stick to the old faulty one than to go back out into the sea of single-ness.

However, I have a theory that people who find singlehood terrifying won't find someone they can have a long and happy marriage with anyway, because they tend to not know their own minds. How do you get to know someone when you don't even know yourself? IMHO, the best marriages/relationships are between people who are happy and comfortable being alone in the first place.

I fully agree with you on that count.

If you're being with someone for the sake of needing someone (ie: those who find singlehood terrifying), then you're not really loving the person for who he or she is, only as a piece of floating wood for you to cling on to to allay your fears and insecurities. Not really a gd recipe for a successful marriage imho!
