Perhaps it's because you've had such rough relationships, you emotionally need a break. Maybe that's why your inner voice is telling you you don't want a relationship. Take a break, allow yourself to think of other things besides partners and kids. I too use to really want a family but after a long relationship I found out I was giving way too much of myself with nothing in return from my boyfriend. I don't date or think about kids right now because I'm working on doing my own thing and taking good care of myself emotionally. I have contemplated living a single life forever and the career I'm after allows me to choose how much time I devote to it so I have the option to see what happens in life. I've also wanted to do adoption and foster care so the child aspect is not a stressor for me. I know my response is really long but I hope it has helped.
I agree with you entirely! your words are exactly like my own feelings. Now I know I am not the only one feeling the way I do! So, that being said, thank you so very much for your comment :)
is it normal to never want to settle down??
