I don't see my parents or relatives very often these days but when I do, the topic of marriage and starting a family is one of the first things to come up. I haven't told them yet but I don't plan on having children. Because I don't feel the need to have children I don't really care whether I get married or not. I'm 34, dating but not in a serious relationship.
I'm starting to loathe going to family functions because the focus of conversation becomes to me getting married. I feel looked down on sometimes because I'm still single and everyone else is in a serious relationship or married.
