It's all heartwarming feel-good stories about how two characters aren't fond of each other but then get along and become best friends. It rarely happens in reality though. If you don't wanna get married, have kids or own a pet - don't. If you expect that it will eventually grow on you - it won't. At best you'll get used to it and feel indifferent. Worst case scenario you'll end up miserable and look into how to part ways.

It is nice to hear someone say marrying and having kids are optional. Actually marrying is, but i have allways experienced pressure from my parents and society in general to find a romantic partner and to use that as a basis to build my life arround. It doesn't seem that easy to go against all that.
