When Althoff mentioned that many marriages fail, Durant replied, “That’s not good odds,” but also compared it to the risks he faces professionally:
“Yeah. But still, that's like banking on the rest, like, forever though. … I don't know if I want to take those odds.”
Relationship Expectations
Durant emphasized that his hesitation about marriage is not just about the event but about the daily commitment it entails. He said, “It's just like the word ‘marriage’ that I get, but it's more so like what that relationship is like. Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
No Desire for a Wedding Ceremony
