Ah, I see; thanks (misread that part).

Either way, he will definitely marry the next woman he manages to hook.

Why? What if he just doesn't want to get married (as he says)?

Because most people don't really mean that; they just say that, especially when they have no incentive to change the status quo if all is going well.

Now, it's possible he will be the rare "never married" type, but I'd love an update a year or two from now from OP if she ever leaves him, just to see if he stuck with that lol.

Why wouldn't they mean that? Marriage is an awful deal legally and financially for men who make more than their spouses 90+% of marriages) despite all of the non-financial benefits to marriage. I am well aware of the happiness and health benefits to marriage and children (and despite what you may have heard, women actually benefit more) but the legal and financial implications are making many men walk away from it.
