Hot Topic: I Don't Want to Get Married

I can't believe how stupid can those people be by saying "you have no life if you are not married and have children".  Also many people who know if I am in a relationship whether is new or old, what they expect from me is to be married.  They just refuse to accept how other people's view of marriage are not important to them at all.  For me, it is a ceremony and means nothing to life.  I am also childfree by choice.  The cost of wedding is so expansive.  I rather save those kind of money for a go kart, a nice small car or even a trip to Asia.

I have a feeling of people are trying to tell me there is a dead line to get married.  Many of them said "living together is a sin".  WTF, I don't get it, why it is a sin.  I am not hurting anyone at all.  That is an agreement between my partner and I.  It is none of thier business.

Many people just like to make assumption that my partner never proposed to me at all.  In the pass, more than one man in my life have proposed but I said "No".  I rather don't want anyone to propose to me.  On the other hand by telling me "never want to be married at all."  Also, many of those people asked me a lot of those kind of the stupid questions "what happen if he wants to be married and have children?"  I said "I will leave him right now, been there and done that".  Those people just ended up being so angry with my answer.  Frankly, I only told them the truth.

Projects have dead line but it doesn't apply to marriage.  I would have to say "no such thing in my life is called marriage".  I said that probably because I am a stronge anti-marriage person.  Why even bother to get married where the law in Canada that applies to the common law couples as a legal spouse if they are living together for over a year.  This is just my opinion.

How rude of them! (((HUGS))) I don't know why some people feel it's their right to tell others how to live their life. I also don't see where it's any of their business. You aren't doing anything wrong by not getting married or having children - it's your life and yours to do with as you please. I think some people place the wrong importance on marriage and kids and that's why so many people end up unhappy with either.

It's best to just let them know they're entitled to their opinion but you respectfully disagree and change the subject. Maybe if you do that enough times, they'll get the hint.
