Someone please tell me there's more to life than this!
Jesus....how depressing. I have no desire to get married....never have. Don't want any kids, either. And yes, it irritates the hell out of me when people tell me this makes them 'sad' for me, or how I'll 'meet the right girl some day,' or how I 'just haven't met the right girl yet,' or any of that nonsense. I'll be 33 this year and I've pretty much always felt this way. Its just not for me. None of the above has anything to do with the rather extreme and depressing video, though. Life is what you make of it is all, and you'll get out of it what you put into it.
Not really. Chances are you will have an affair with someone, you will get caught, and you will have a huge fight with your wife. But you decide to stay together for the kids. After many miserable years, you finally get the divorce around the time your kids went to college. Your wife will grab half of your money and move to California. You will try to find someone new, but realize that your wife was probably the best thing ever happened to you. But you will still get marry with the new girl you met because you can't afford to live alone for the rest of your life. Your kids are now grown up and don't have the time to talk to you anymore. You will have grandkids, but they only want to see you on their birthday so you can give them money. You now have stopped having sex for 10 years... It's good to be 23
I am in the EXACT same boat as you. I have no desire for a wife or kids. I'm 30 years old, my baby sister just got married and all of cousins are married. The whole family keeps telling me "we're waiting for you to complete the family." I constantly tell them "the family is complete. i'm not interested in marriage or children." then i get the "how sad and lonely for you." guess what? i like the idea of growing old without a wife. No, I love the idea. Why does marriage and kids have to be the one thing that EVERY HUMAN on the planet must have or must want to have?
I'm 21 and fell for a girl with a 3 year old, she's having another baby do in July... depressing to think about until I'm around her and she makes me feel high on life, worries and friends can be set on pause because then theres no other place I'd rather be then in her company doing who the hell knows what as the hours pass by.. never really wanted a kid that wasn't mine but he's not really as big of a problem as I'd assume he would have been. Live life according to you, accomplishing what YOU want not for anyone else but for yourself, if you find a girl that gives you a high life and doesn't mind tagging along with YOUR life then go with it, weird things can happen out of the blue and they will in time as long as you don't worry so much. Take your time, find the right one and as said don't worry so much with the what if's or of what you think you want or of what others expect.
My life felt pretty meaningless until I found someone to share it with. I wasn't holding out for no braindead 5'4 110. Just the right one. Maybe thats just me.
Thanks for brightening my hopes guys. BTW, if you're single, avoid the movie The Other Boleyn Girl. I got suckered into seeing it, thinking that staring at Scarlett Johanssonn and Natalie Portman for a couple of hours wouldn't be a bad way to spend the afternoon. It's a great movie, but you'll never trust women again. Never. Ever. Again.
Bleh. I'm willing to live this lie. If you're rich or creative enough and find someone who is open to the same things, then it isn't settling. Then again, I don't think having kids when I'm 35 is too old.
37 never been married.... Married people assume single people are miserable...its the only thing that gets them through the day Single people assume married people are miserable its the only thing that gets them through the day... the truth is probably somewhere in between
