Marry a lady!

Also, pedantry: activate! It's not an either-or situation -- it's a both situation.

Resume: Either get married and be made to watch on a man's phone Either don't get married

The meaning of either or

used to refer to a situation in which there is a choice between two different plans of action, but both together are not possible

Thus, if you want to truly feel that pedanticness, getting married or not getting married is, by definition, an either-or situation, since you can't be married and not married at the same time.

Questionable though my reasoning my be taking the context into account, get outpedantic-ed!

Does this mean any "both" situation is actually an either-or, because the choice is still between both or nothing? I don't like that
