27, never married and no kids?

I'm 33 never married - although I do live with my partner and no kids with no desire to have any. We're all different - it's what makes the world go round :-)

I have quite a few friends that are happy and single (and also homeowners).

I'm married and no kids so I understand what it's like to live out of societal norms (together nearly 19 years, kid-free by choice).

I will tell ALL of you, it is way better to do it RIGHT the first time than to do it wrong just to be doing it. I am 38, divorced, with a wonderful son but believe me when I say it takes up a LOT of time. Just do what you do and enjoy life but know that staying healthy is much more satisfying because of the energy and feeling you get being that way. GO EVERYONE GO!!! Friend me, if you want. I am just getting after it everyday!!

Not weird at all. Personally I think 30+ is a good time to get married just because you and your partner have had time to really figure your self out mentally, emotionally and financially. I mean if you make it work younger good for you but I have NEVER seen a young married couple last more than 5-10 years.

That comment is so annoying.

I was married at 20 and hubby was 24. We have 3 kids ages almost 10, 7 and 5 and we just celebrated 11 years of marriage. And we have an awesome marriage!

I think the comment was pretty accurate. Divorce rates for those 18 and under are nearly double those of the 25 and older crowd. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be divorced. Just be happy you're the exception.

Here in Massachusetts we have one of the lowest divorce rates in the country. On average the age of first marriage here is 28. I got married when I was 23 and I'm 36 now. Since we're nearly a decade into allowing gay marriage (or as we call it here just "marriage") the theory is that this is only helping our divorce rates stay so low. We do it right in New England, what can I say?

Almost 25, married, no kids and never going to have any. While my friends are fretting over college savings funds, I'd rather fret over getting to multiple countries before I'm 50. And there's always adoption if we change our minds. I don't feel the need to have my "own" children.

Although I'd like to have more furry babies. :bigsmile:

Nicely done. Yeah, we're also enjoying travel and the kid-free life and our 13 year old dog-cat Maximus (he thinks he's a dog).

No dont feel that u need to be in a rush to have kids or even be married...im turning 30 in august im not married and no kids,,,,im engaged but heaven knows only when we will actually tie the knot.....anyone feel free to add me....i encourage healthy living

Me too! I freaking hate kids. Never met one I liked even a smidge.

I got married IN high school age 18 We have not had any problems...(yet) and my parents got married at 18 and they lasted 25 years together. I believe it can happen it just depends where your from and who you are talking about. If the person is cheating and stuff...well yeah they are gonna get a divorce. Me and My husband still live like college students and all and we love it.

I hate the face that this is getting so much air time and is such an issue. Your choice is your choice, your path is your path.

Why question if you are weird b/c of the life you live. It's yours to live the way you want is it not?

I feel like the odd man out with my group of friends. They are mostly all in their early 20s, not married, and they don't have children. I, on the other hand, am married, 22, and have a baby boy. So, I know how you feel about being the odd man out except I'm on the other side of the fence.

You're not weird! Some people just don't want kids, some don't ever want to get married even if they get into a long term relationship. It's all good. To each their own!

I was 27 when I had my first girlfriend.

Unfortunately, women are up against the old biological clock. If you are planning on having children, by 30 you should be having a plan for that. Between 30 and 40 your fertility rates decline a lot, and your chances of problems go up.

Thats why so many owomen that wait to have kids in there late thirties and fourties have so many fertility problems from waiting to late to settle down.

i know why most of you arent married. I dont think it was a choice, lmao

Classy.

I think it's weird.
