this question sounds silly , but I want to ask

Suppose you have only two choices

A life without a wife and children doesn't have to be lonely. It can be immensely satisfying. Things are never as simple as A or B.

You helped making the children, didn't you? Then you are responsible for them as much as your wife is.

Choose a loving life with your wife and children, and they'll stop nagging. I think you need to look within yourself for more answers and better choices, because there certainly are more than the two you mention.

if u do had choice "b" u can change that bitter life with nagging wife and children because u r a part of it!
for sure ur wife will feel the same about u, and i u changed it she can be changed..
choice "a" is very negative and it sounds like running

If this is you, I would wish you find a third choice. A life without a nagging wife, but still contact with your children.

If free-will is about such hopeless choices, I would be better off without the privilege..... at least I need not blame myself for choosing.

However, since you have asked, let me answer anyway. I would prefer to be lonely for the time being, since that gives a hope and scope of a better future..... may find a wife who may not be nagging, who knows?

Lonely life without a nagging husband and without kids.

I would choose the 2nd one. Because loneliness is bitter, and it's not known until you get a bit old. and having a family (even a nagging spouse) is sweet, and it's not known until you get a little bit old.
well I'm talking in general, there could be some exceptions in both.

Since I'm already living the "a" answer, I would choose the "b" answer, out of sheer curiosity.

I'm a firm advocate of the philosophy, "Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all." I'm 25 and have never had a date in my life (meaning, I also haven't had certain other things, either), and I'm being criticized about my depression by a few people who have just broken up with their girlfriends.

...but I tell them that they can never know what it's like to be in my shoes, because they are younger than me and have already dated.

Truly I say to you, it is worse to have never been "loved." I mean, a person who has loved and lost gets sad, but a person who has never known it doesn't know if he/she ever will, or if he/she ever can experience it.

Therefore the correct answer is "b."

lonely ones are free, in every way

Here we go again with one of those either/or questions. Isn't there a middle ground? The answer is purely subjective and as such will vary with each individual.
