The reactions on the NYT commentary page were highly amusing: Three-quarters of the male respondents railing against "selfish" and "narcissistic" career gals who are "destroying the fabric" of society by refusing to become soccer moms, three-quarters of the female respondents swapping stories of former train-wreck marriages and agreeing, "NEVER fucking again."
"But I believe that a lot of little girls were thinking more or less what I was thinking, back in the supermarket checkout lines of 1971."
I've known I would never marry since I was eleven or twelve and saw the toll my parents' marriage had been taking on my mother ever since the beginning. (She's happily divorced now and, like the commentators above, vows never fucking again.)
