::But divorce destroys friendship and it cannot be regained at a maximum level, so perfection cannot be maintained either. I want bachelorhood, not marriage then divorce. It's not the same. [[User:Giles|Giles]] ([[User talk:Giles|talk]]) 05:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

:::When divorcing the friendship is not "destroyed", you can pay 30,000 in the Dark Shrine of Memory and erase your ex-spouse's memory and it will be like the wedding never happened, and like [[User:Dubesor|Dubesor]] said, you can have Krobus as a housemate instead of getting married.

::::Thanks both of you for trying to help. I haven't yet explained my intent in full detail, but it's still not the same. So there's a game workaround, but I have to pay 30000g for it, and I'll need to spend game time on the whole marriage thing that could have been directed elsewhere. Not really my aim. But if I need to go on, so be it.
::::The point is, I'll remember. You assume roles to play the game, and you choose roles and activities that are fun. Do you want a pet? Yes? No? Pick one. You have a choice, and it raises no significant barriers either way. Farm slimes? Farm fish? Farm anything? You have a choice. You can do these minimally and still complete the collections coverage, then abandon them again. No significant barriers, and the game still has fun things you can imagine doing.
::::But marriage? What is it fun to imagine there? That really depends on who you are and what you know. I'm married in real life. Who can I imagine being married to, and how fun is that? When you play, you don't leave your own life completely behind. The marriage choice alters life itself, real or imagined. For some people, a divorce is worse than a death. I have heard it described to me in just those words, though I have not experienced it. And I myself hate divorce. I can't imagine it, and I don't want to. That imagining would destroy my playing. No more fun. If I play a marriage, I play it for keeps. If I play bachelorhood, it is a choice I can make. Both may be fun. But the game workaround is no workaround for me. So I have to ask, why can't I complete the game as a bachelor? I don't always want to make a choice to marry. That I can't make that choice strikes me as an avoidable negative in the game.
::::What say you, CA (if you hear about this)? I don't use reddit. Another personal choice. And I'm willing to walk away from questions or games on that basis. I can imagine that, too. No hard feelings anyone. But my recommendation is not to play too lightly with marriage. It can strike deep. It's supposed to.
