Putting Things In Perspective

[djnemo65]

Yeah, nice thread. I am only 26 but don't feel pulled by the same desires a lot of people are. For example, getting married and having a family life has absolutely no appeal to me. Not knocking it, I know many people for whom it brings genuine joy. However, I also know people who got married because they felt like they had to and aren't really happy now.

So at 26 I am keeping this thing going and seeing how far I can take it.

I love my life. Great husband, great job and great family/friends. I'm enjoying my 30's much more than my 20's. At this point, I don't think I'm going to have kids. Neither my husband nor I feel the desire to have children. People have finally stopped asking thank goodness.

I stay at home too much. I would like to travel more. Sometimes I feel like a good portion of my life has been wasted sitting in front of a computer.

I didn't get the itch to get married until I hit my 30's, and the itch to have kids still hasn't hit me at 34.

Everyone's different, you just have to do what works for you!
