I will be able to retire in 5 years at the ripe old age of 45 with a full pension, no debt and a house that is paid off which I can turn around and rent out so someone else can pay my mortgage.

Huh? How do you have a mortgage if the house is paid off?

Anyway, it sounds like you are financially minded, so I would focus strongly on @KM’s advice. It’s not about getting married, it’s about signing a marriage contract.

Ok. Then do it.

Vulcan, you seem like a nice well intentioned guy. Don’t take what I am about to say the wrong way, but as you have been through the process twice, and I presume dealt with the legal side and fully aware of the legal implications and power the courts and women have to ‘put your b~~~~ in a blender anytime they want and press the ON button’….I would say :

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Peer pressure is a major issue, and something you will have to deal with. It won’t go away. Getting married/cohabiting/dating single moms again, under the present system, is like putting your d**k in a beehive and asking not to get stung……

Desire to have female company I can understand. I have female friends, but when you have assets, job etc you are going to attract them whether you chase after them or not. Don’t cohabit, and try to keep female friends that have their own place/job, less likely to want you for your resources.

In olden days, in medieval UK, the marriage contract was a personal private agreement between the man and woman. If either did not live up to their end, the contract ended. No state, no alimony, no splitting of assets. Simple, quick and easy. The Church or Druid was sometimes involved if it was religious/pagan ceremony. How and why the State got involved, I won’t go into here, but really they should limit themselves to just recording stuff. All conditions should be specified before the marriage, which is what happened before (in a way). Now though, it’s a blank cheque…for the woman/courts/lawyers.
