Interestingly enough, there are a few people in my office not married and we got into a discussion about why and some say that they don't want to go to any more funerals than they have too. They said that I might have to go to my wife's funeral and even worse go to one of my three kids funerals. They said that they would not want to feel that kind of pain. I thought yieks. I pray I go first...so selfish of me, but isn't that interesting that people feel that way. No wonder people are not marrying to afraid of losing people.

I've gone to some very sad funerals, but none so sad that I wished I'd never known the person.

.....No wonder people are not marrying to afraid of losing people.

In the 70's people were talking about not wanting to bring children into this world. I think they didn't care enough to help out the world or put effort into rearing children who would be an asset to humanity. A lot of those types are still around.

No wonder people are not marrying to afraid of losing people.

Just my opinion...
More likely, it is fear of the other ways that a person can
"lose someone".

I can't remember who said it, but this sounds appropriate:
"Of all the ways to lose someone, often death is the least cruel."

(I suspect this might have been said in the days before medical
technology could keep a husk of a human alive for decades...)

What a ridiculous reason.
I think they must really mean that they don't want to have an intimate relationship with anyone.
