Is it normal to not want to hang out with married people?

66% Normal
10 Comments

I have a group of friends that I've been friends with since middle school. They have all gotten married and have little kids now. We had so much fun together until this happened. Life went from hanging out and good conversations to listening to them talk about husbands and picking out baby names. I've never wanted to get married and I don't like kids much so I know it isn't envy. I don't see what is so great about husbands and stinky diapers. I have a boyfriend who is talking about all of these things now yet I have no interest. I just want life to be how it was. Is this normal or do I need to grow up at the expense of being miserable the rest of my life?

Is It Normal?

    the common bond that you had with these people in school has disappeared. they have grown in one direction, you in another. there's nothing wrong with not wanting a husband or children, that is your choice.

    my advice to you would be to try to develop new friendships with people who are more like minded. people change, and therefore friendships change too.

    I also hate those fucking noisy kids and cuntish parents who never shut the little shits at the shopping mall food court . Fuck stick the dummy in its fucking mouth or give the little shit a slap for fucks sake . When I was a boy my Father would just say cry I dare you I will slap the cry out of you , I was the quietest kid you would ever meet. And I look at these little cunts today and remember getting the belt the cane a ruler in my knuckles or a beating , I was very well behaved . Pity these little cunts cant have a father like mine. Then it would be quiet at the mall.

    It is not Normal. Get married, have children and grandchildren. Your boyfriend will definitely leave you. Marriage is a normal societal routine.. don't listen to anybody, find a permanent partner. that's what humans are supposed to do

    I think you are unique, but not necessarily abnormal. Seeing as you feel the way you do, who can blame you for not wanting to hang out with people with different priorities? I myself want a family, but if you don't, there is no reason to feel pressure. Just keep pressing on, keep positive, and keep single! :)

    Holy shit julies that's one slap to the face on reality. We need to accept the transition to adulthood. Everyone would rather reject it. Single mothers partying like their 16. Its fugging up this world.

    I agree with mtnw. People change and can grow apart. I'm not in a rush to get married and I don't want kids. You just have to find other people who share your interests. I hate going to visit friends with kids and feel like I end up babysitting them all day. Not my cup of tea.

    Well you never really know until you consider it. Talk to your boyfriend about it with an open mind!

    Well you sound like an immature bitch. Grow up and be unhappy? No stay in extended adolesence like the growing morons who watch too many TV sitcoms where people never grow up. Your friends from middle school probably talk about how immature you are and are trying to be good influences of you. Unfortunately for you and them, you still need to act like a teenager because your mentally incapable of taking on the responsibility of adulthood.
