Marriage and Kids?

[Naiwen]

As a lady or gent, do you want marriage and kids? I don't, I have enough on my plate with my own person to deal with currently in life, that I can't handle anyone else's issues.

It's not for everyone.

I already have two kids and I don't think I want any more. I'm also not sure if I'm ready to take on a second wife.

Marriage or not, I want a female partner in my life, while I don't want to deal with the younger year of kids, I want someone around in my golden years.

I would love to someday settle down, get married and have children.

In September, I'll have been married 20 years.

I don't have any kids though.

I don't blame you after what you endured with your first wife.

I know people that are in their 30s and also 40s that have never been married or has kids.

Happy Upcoming Anniversary!!
I've been married 22 years. We're child-free by choice.

While I love being married, having the security of someone who is also my best friend, it definitely is not for everybody. As for kids, I never wanted them. I was also fortunate to not be pressured by family. I know many people who have settled down or had kids because of that pressure.

That's a very pessimistic view. Surely the point of being in a relationship with someone isn't just that you have to 'handle their issues' but also to have someone to share your own with. It's about good stuff not just needing to take on issues.

Not for me, I've never been happy in a relationship personally.

I think that's an issue with the compatability between you and the people you were in relationships with, rather than on the principle of relationships in general.

If you aren't sharing issues and feelings and problems equally and it is one sided then it's a toxic relationship, but that doesn't mean that every one is.

Yep I agree, but I personally don't have to be in a relationship if I don't want to, that's not a requirement.

Of course not, everybody is free to live as they want. Alone, together with one person, or in some kind of multi-person relationship. You do whatever you feel is best for you.
