Be true to yourself and do what you feel is right for you. Those feelings may change one day but if not.... so what!
Enjoy life, have fun, be safe! Life is too short to worry too much about what others think!

No you are not wrong at all. Im GLAD that you are honest with yourself. Most other people force themselves into marriage and children because they are scared of what "others" think and they feel its the"appropriate" thing to do.
Marriage and children like most things are only what you make them.
For Example:
one person might see marriage as a way to lose money because the man works and the woman stays at home with the children. that man might argue that if he was single he might have more money.
another will see marriage as a way to become wealthier or rich a lot faster. because once you are married you are combining 2 incomes together instead of one.

No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some women just aren't meant to marry or have children. I don't want either of those. I mean, I love children, and I have plenty of respect for women who do choose marriage and children. I just feel like my life was meant to be lead differently. Like that role just doesn't fit for me. I'm 23. Everyone older tells me I'll change my mind, I just haven't found the right person, but I really just don't feel like that's in the cards for me. So don't let others tell you that you are wrong for not wanting that. The entire world has it embedded in their mind that women are meant for having babies and taking care of the house, but although some women like that and are happy with that, we don't have to choose that. That's what is so great about living in today's time. Before, that was all expected of a lady, but now that is one choice she can make out of an endless array of choices. So good luck in whatever you choose.

I agree with most of the answers you got already.
Marriage and having kids are huge responsabilities; and if you feel this way you shouldn't feel like you are "weird" or anything. They are both terribly stressful responsabilities (if you want to try your hardest to do a good job), and I really think neither one is for everyone. Unfortunately, a lot of people go ahead and get married or have kids for the wrong reasons; and they pay dearly for this.
You are still quite young, and you have your life ahead of you. Perhaps you'll change your mind later on...and if you don't, that's fine too.
As long as you are happy and don't feel that you are missing out on anything....It's your life and you will take the decisions you think are the best ones for you.

No,ur not wrong for not wanting marriage or children.Although i disagree and do want to get married and have children when i get older.I think it is everyone's decision.I respect u for knowing that it is not for u and u don't want to get married or have children.Marriage and children changes and affects a lot of different things both in a good way and at the same a bad way.

You definitely aren't the only one!!! Marriage is a lie. If you are happy and in love you will destroy it if you get married. Look at all the married couples you know, how many of them are in love?!?!? ZERO!!! Marriage even destroys soul mates. Now children on the other hand are a different issue. I love my children more than anything and I would die for them.

Its your life, and if you choose not to marry or have kids, so be it.
Having a child was a beautiful experience for me, and I love my son dearly, but I chose to stop at one.
I did not want anymore kids, and I love my life just the way it is now. When and if I have grandchildren, I will love them to, but if not so be it. My son is 27, single and no kids. He does what he wants, when he wants. He does want to get married and have kids, but not now.
You are still very young, and may change your mind later, but in 5 or 10 years if you still feel the same way, thats okay to..
Live your life the way you see fit and most importantly enjoy.
It can be just as fulfilling with or without kids and a husband.

Nope, you are just being smart about it. You might change your mind later in life, but marriage and children do not make a life for everyone. If you chose to be single embrace it and enjoy..

if thats how you feel then thats the right thing for you at this time. people change what they want during most of their life, and there is nothing wrong with not wanting marriage or children.

No, not wrong at all - some people are not the family type. You have other goals in mind. It doesn't mean in 10 years your mind may change - it is your life you live the way you want to.
