I probably don't and won't marry

[Silverobama]

I actually don't have many friends and classmates, but a large number of them told me that they had divorced. It's getting more and more difficult to find a girfriend and even marry. I told my friend "I probably don't and won't marry" this afternoon and told him why.

Is my italic sentence natural?

 

[jutfrank]

I probably won't ever get married.
I'll probably never get married.

I don't understand what you were trying to say with the auxiliary don't.

"A large number" means "many." Maybe you meant to say "a large portion of them."

There's a way to use "don't":
Most of the people I know got divorced anyway. That's why I don't do marriage.

"Many of them" would work in the original.

There's a way to use "don't":
Most of the people I know have got divorced. anyway. That's why I don't do marriage.

The use of "don't" is OK in the second sentence. I'd be more inclined to say "That's why I don't want to/plan to get married".

You don't just "marry": you marry someone. It's a transitive verb (though there's no such distinction in Chinese.).

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Marry can be intransitive or transitive.

It's not common for it to be used intransitively though. It's usually "get married".

No when the subject is "I", as in the OP.

Try it with the words of the original https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=I+won't+marry,+I+won't+get+married&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

But enough of this. We are disrupting this thread. My main point is that the information in your post #5 is incorrect.
