Don’t get all huffy.
Young man in my family impregnated his long-term live-in girl friend. He belatedly begged her to marry him - but she took off (out of country) with the child and he has no resources or recourse to custody. He and his parents are devastated.
Marriage protects men, women and children.
And so one young person's mistakes made you so jaded towards men in general? I'm not buying it.
