There’s nothing good about it. I consider never-before-married people like myself as useless losers. For women its even worse since their “expiration date” happens at a younger age. Your daughter’s life is an utter waste. I see nothing for you to brag about.
I don’t understand why you would think that. I have an “old maid” aunt who is in her mid70s, and I would not consider her a useless loser. She taught school for more years than I have been alive. (I am 40 something.) she took all of her nieces and nephews on trips around the country and the world. We would not have had such opportunities without her initiative. She taught us to appreciate literature and theater and food. She is by no means perfect. Hah. She is a liberal for some inexplicable reason. Her views on most things are so conservative. I can only guess that it has to do with teacher unions and how she was influenced by their fearmongering.

No, my daughter’s life would be an utter waste if she had children to a male who did not love her, nor who she loved. And, then trying to raise kids without a father.
Her father was stupid for getting married because it felt good - it felt much better getting divorced - except for the impact to the young children.
If you haven’t gone through that emotional roller-coaster, you may have a hard time relating to a parents delayed anguish for the emotional impact on their children.
I’ll carry my guilt to my son and daughter to my grave!
I was never married until I was 46 and thought I had a great life until I met my wife who was also 46 and now we have even better lives. We dated for 3 years and were never tempted to move in together. Praise G-d!
I could not agree more.
