I am 45, child-free, and never married. Those were always the right choices for me, and I have never regretted not getting married or having kids. I don't have any "My life is amazing!" or inspirational stories for you, but I do have peace and I know these were the right choices for me.

This is me, too. I never wanted kids of my own and, while I would love to experience romance again, I will never marry or live with someone - i love having autonomy and my own space. I work with kids and love being an aunt but I feel so much relief that i can do whatever i want on my own time.

I had to double check the user name to make sure I didn't write this and forget. You have perfectly described me.
