Thank you for reminding me why I prefer to stay unmarried. Why on earth would anybody be happy to constantly walk on eggshells? I have better hobbies.

Not being an inconsiderate a**hole is not the same as walking on eggshells (at least I hope so) 
What could also help is marrying someone you actually like being with.
I never wanted to get married either, but over here you get two paid days off work so that changed my mind

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I'm not married, don't even have a girlfriend, but two days off is two days off.
You can get married for free on Mondays.
So Monday morning, go to city hall, get married for free, enjoy two days off
How does taking up on a free offer make me cheap?
Of course I'd have to find a girl who doesn't want a big fancy wedding first

get married just for 2 days off, even without the big wedding what is the cost (consider TCO) compared to 2 days unpaid leave?
Even if it's 2 days a year, 2 days a month, the unpaid leave is still the cheaper option.
heck, runny nose go and see the doc (can claim back the doc fees too) (- most if you look sick enough on a Thursday will give 2 days.)

You seem to have a strong opinion about this.
Perhaps we can get married (not with each other) and discuss this over our two days off? 
At this point I'm not even sure if I'll ever get married.
Maybe to please my future girlfriend, although I certainly hope not.
I'll never get marriage, spend weeks planning the whole thing, be at the center of attention for a whole day, take pictures in fancy clothes (and I'm not even a fan of wedding dresses), invite people you don't like but somehow must invite, and pay a king's ransom for it all.
Added value: absolutely nothing 
Unless you get married for free and take the two days off 
You get some tax deductions (why don't I get those as a single, isn't my life without the love of my life already miserable enough!?) and some legalities are automatically arranged (like inheritance).
Until you change your mind that is, in which case it's all very difficult and expensive to roll back.

My wise old father told me that there are events in life where a man should step back and let others play the main role. Executions, weddings...
So, my personal outfit for a wedding is anything that helps me to run faster.

I hope so for you too. But what will you do when Madam comes home with a new dress, makeup and hairstyle (all in garish colors) that remind you of a circus clown? Try to bring her back to her senses? Or better play along and live with your clown? I would not, despite knowing how well that will go. Don't ask me if you don#t want to hear my honest opinion. At least I'm sneaky enough to save the circus clown as ammunition for the drama that is sure to follow.

I'd probably tell her it's not really my taste, but that she looks beautiful anyway, and that she should get it off so we can get it on
Now turn it around, you come home from whatever and there's your lovely wife/girlfriend cheering you on.
If whatever you did was a success she can reward you handsomely, but if whatever you did was a failure she'll be there to comfort you (and somehow those are the same thing)
And yes, there's the occasional fight, but those should be rare.
And making up is just the more pleasant
At least that's how I think a relationship should be like (and unfortunately, mine weren't all like that).
Now I've decided that I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person, but rather with the right person than be alone.
Lots of people are rather miserable together than happy alone though, which is what gives marriage such a bad name.
For the record, I don't believe in marriage.

well you must realise cats have skills beyond our perception:
I remember one neighborhood fluffy white as [clean] snow Persian cat that had no trouble catching birds, it'd low-creep up to them the way any other cat would. I know birds are tiny brained and key on movement, but you'd think a bright white thing getting closer warrants a longer look.
I reckon that Persian did in more sparrows and starlings than the rest of the cats put together.

Some of 'em are just really good at it.
The neighbours bird feeder has a sign: "McDijalds" as Dij* treats it as a source of McNuggets ...
* Our cat: Named "Dij" as "short for Digital" because as a Kitten he was ON (and doing a Wall of Death round the room) or OFF (and you could have plucked his whiskers and he wouldn't have noticed)

Whats there to laugh about? This is serious business. A neighbor had a bigger bird house on a pole in his garden. The sort that is basically only a platform with a roof on top and open at both ends. The pole and the 'cat climbing protection' were no obstacle for our little ninja. She simply jumped right into the bird house and paitiently waited inside for the birds. Actually not such a dumb idea. The only flaw was that long striped tail hanging out of one end of the bird house.
This went on for quite a while. The neighbor, an elderly and otherwise quiet man, got really excited when he saw what little bird was sitting in his bird house. Another neighbor's boy tried to shoot the poor cat with an air rifle, but could not get her while she was running for cover. No use. Kittie just adjusted her timing and came back when she thought that nobody would see her. It finally ended with the bird house falling off the pole, cat and all.
It's another story what happened when more than ten years later another neighbor decided to build a cage for his prized doves behind the house. Fortunately he never quite found out who paid the doves a visit almost every night.

Yeah, we had one that loved fish. So she'd come home, and dump a dead Koi on the carpet. We never did find out whose pond she was raiding (and thankfully they never found out whose cat was so busy).

Did you ever see a cat that did not love fish? Actually surprising for an animal that is perfectly adapted to live in the north African desert, hates to get wet and can even resort to drink salt water if it must.

I know what you mean, she hated getting wet, but loved hunting fish, and adored prawns - try to eat them yourself and she'd yell at you until you gave her some.
Strange cat, she only ever washed herself when we locked her in for a week over fireworks night, and most of the time was a suspicious yellow and grey. At the end of a week imprisoned she was sparkly white and grey, for a while.
Also kidnapped other smaller cats and dragged them home to nurse whether they liked it or not.

When cats stop to clean themselves they have a serious problem. It was probably more like she always kept clean, but enjoyed a regular 'dust bath' somewhere outside. Natural flea powder.

Alpha cat. If you had let her, she would have been the mom of a whole pack of daughters and selected and approved males, kept them all in line and taken care of all of them, including loads of kittens.
