Re: Physical relationships and marriage
I never said that he should never get married or doesn’t deserve to get married. But I don’t think he should get married when he is both mentally and emotionally uncertain about making a lifelong commitment to one woman. Maybe he needs time off to think about what he wants and whether he can manage monogamy…before taking that plunge.
Also, you said in your post that your friend feels “guilty.” Guilt is felt when one thinks they have made a mistake and one realizes that they did have some control over their actions and decisions. He would not be feeling “guilty” if he thought he wasn’t at fault. So, basically your friend himself feels that he has made mistakes and that he had control over his actions…then why are you so adamant that he made no mistakes at all and that it is the fault of everybody else (society, his parents) except him? Why are you more defensive about your friend’s past the he himself is? It’s strange. That’s something to reflect on.
And again, to clarify, he should get married. But before doing so he has to decide if he is willing to give up the life of one-night stands. The question that you have posed “Should he give up and continue the lifestyle of one-night stands?” should be directed toward your friend, OP. Ask him this question, not me.
