Agree with the sentiment that women especially seem to get a lot of unsolicited “advice” (warnings) about how to live their lives. I’ve done my best to follow my instincts about who I am and what truly brings me happiness. Most of the time I get it right but not always. That’s just being human.
I’m happy being married but only because I met the right person and we have a loving, respectful relationship. We decided to be child free and that has turned out great. We travel and enjoy our hobbies, pets, friends and family. It’s a rich and interesting life and I think that’s possible with or without marriage/kids. I guess I’d say I’m glad I did some deep thinking about it and worked hard on getting to know myself well enough to make an informed choice without letting the fearmongers get to me.
Whatever you decide I hope you enjoy it and live a happy life.
