To me, marriage and having children can be seen as both a blessing and a burden, but I'm leaning more on the burden side. Beig forced to stay with the same person for the rest of your life by a piece of paper just doesn't appeal to me, and I feel like once a couple has kids the romance and happiness two people have in each other goes downhill because they have to focus on responsibilities of a kid. If "marrital bliss" was so great...why are divorce rates increasing, why do spouses feel the need to cheat, etc. I just would much rather date someone for however long or short I please, even if he is "the one," marriage just seems to complicate things in my mind. Granted I'm still young, but I've felt adamant about this for a long time. is it normal that I don't want to marry or have children?

    Normal. Marriage and children are a financial burden. For some reason the people where I Iive think marriage and/ or having childern will stop a person from cheating or leaving. They do absolutely nothing to stop a person.

    Perfectly normal. It's a huge deal of responsibility since you are responsible for how your children will end up when they grow up, in the same way as your parents are responsible for how your life looks like today. You make many choices for yourself, but it's how you're raised that decides how you make those choices. Some just aren't ready for that.
