Well, since I have made a mess of my life on all fronts, I am probably not qualified to comment here. But that’s never stopped me before… 😉
I would say keep an open mind. You never know what the future might hold. If you don’t feel the need to get married or have children, then don’t let others pressure you into it. But someday you might meet someone you really, really like and get along with so well that you can stand the thought of being together forever. And that is a rare opportunity you may not want to turn down.
The day I found myself in a long term relationship (quite by accident) was the day my life really began to fall apart. Suddenly I had this other person demanding my attention, expecting me to take care of him, disrupting my nice little daily routines. Top that off with suddenly having to take care of my parents when they simultaneously developed serious health problems, and having no financial security due to jobs coming and going (mostly going), and it’s no wonder I’m a mess. I couldn’t possibly manage having kids now, but it wasn’t a conscious decision on my part. I just never thought about it much, and never thought that it would reach the point where it was no longer an option, that the decision would be made for me.
