“The music is the wedding march for women and the funeral march for men?”
Phooey. To be a single man in our society is like smoking 2-1/2 packs of cigarettes a day. That’s how much longer married men live than single men. Statistically they rate as more happy, more productive, have better sex, and on and on (and ON).
Of course, there are then the individual cases. A bad marriage can be worse than no marriage. Much worse.
What we actually have in Andy Capp is a divorce (as in, major train wreck) waiting to happen, artificially prolonged for the sake of humor (and this isn’t the only venue that the Brits have for expressing that meme). Mum seems to have been the only one in the cathedral with a lick of sense.
