I hear this from married people all the time, especially when there are other people standing around who ALSO have a wife and kids. To me, its the equivalent of bible-thumping. No, Im not interested in joining your religion, and please dont tell me how great it is and what ill miss out on if i dont join! Whats wrong with being unmarried without dependents? Will i have a lifetime more of disposable income? Yes Will i have more time to enjoy doing the things i love? Yes! Will i have the freedom to have any kind of relationship i want at any time and for any duration of my choosing? Yes! Yet, these married people keep telling me how miserable im going to be, then they turn right around and complain about how much their life sucks and how they envy my freedom Hello! I argue that being unmarried is better than being married. What do you think?
I think you are entitled to your own happiness. Many believe it feels greater to share their happiness with another in return for theirs as well. All opinion.
I did the marriage thing....... Didn't work The parent thing is pretty awesome though, having a kid is a whole new thing. But people choose to live their lives differently, if you feel you'll be happiest dating with no kids..... All the power to you! Go hard
PSA: DO NOT SAY THIS TO PEOPLE.JUST DONT. you don't know if that person could be aromantic, or could dislike marriage or what.
Lol If you wait until you are old. You take the chance of not finding a suitable parntner to grow with. Since the life experiences will be vastly different. It's widely acceptable to establish yourself first though. As other who wait to they are established would be lacking in experience as well. Do what you want. Say what you want. Be who you want. It's you life. No one else cares expect mommy.
If you don't want to be a husband and father. Don't be. You would make a crap one unless its what you truly desire. If that desire is not there. Then you will destroy lives yours, your wives and your kids. If you don't want it. Spare you all the misery. If and when the desire comes strongly enough and you are ready the Pursue happiness. And to me. Marriage and children is happiness. But that's me. Not all are destined to be so and your at lead a life you desire to live. One that will enrich your life and those of those who are a part of it.
