Exactly. That's why I never wanted to marry. I guess it's a chance I just didn't care to take.

I have lots of them, and I don't really mind them - as long as they leave me be. ;)
Truth is, when I was a kid, I felt very diferently about it. I loved getting together with the relatives. I guess when I started to be able to make my own time for things I wanted to do, I began to resent, in some small way, others intrusions into that time.
You can't begin to imagine how I feel about telemarketers and the Jehovah's Witnesses. ;)
