Nothing very abnormal.There are many people who do not like the weight of attachments on them.

Of course you're normal. Not everyone feels the need or want to be married. What I do find a little disturbing is that you seem to be basing this on possible separations and worrying about what might or might not happen is no way to live and enjoy life.

If you dont want to get married, then cool. Dont! Your normal, some people dont want to and some people do. BUT, here is the thing that alot of people need to understand.
When living together with someone without a marriage commitment will not only tear your life apart, but morally and biblicaly its wrong.
When you date these guys, do they know that you do not want to marry? Or are you keeping this a secret so you can drag their lives into it as well?
Be smart. If you dont want to marry, then live seperatly.

Yes you're normal , not a conformist and the lunatic religious fringe would maybe question your sexuality but that's their problem not yours. you are NORMAL and don't let anyone try to tell you that you're not. You don't need a piece of paper to be in love and live with someone and if marriage is not for you so what.

Don't worry, you just don't feel like settleing down right now. Maybe later on you will decide to get married. But if you don't want to get married does that mean you don't want children either?

never say never. if you're happy with your life thats great. there is no normal. you need to live your life for you. if one day you think to yourself- hey i'd like to get married- then thats fine too. just be happy with who you are. so many people are never happy at all, no matter what they choose. you're lucky that way. and completely normal.

well maybe you still love being single and love the freedom it brings...you're still not ready for the responsibilities of a married life...you want to do something especially travelling, where anytime you wanted to, you can go....being married means so much responsilibities....just take your time...anyway your still young...marriage can wait...

I don't think you're abnormal. When I was in my 20's that was pretty much how I felt as well. As long as you leave open the possability that one day you may change your mind (or not), no problem.

once this q has been discussed and i got answer all of the guys discussing thought it's best answer
why buy a cow if you get all the milk free?
that's how guys think about us but for me i think we are not used to be responsible so we prefer all take away solutions.
