Yo,
This is quite a random subject for me to post but i will explain,...
me and my girlfriend have been together since i was 16 (12 years) we met in college and have been together ever since.
Im now 28 coming on 29 (August this year) and we are quite happy with our lives, we have steady jobs and we spend alot of time together watching movies, going out when its nice weather and swimming etc.
We really enjoy each others company, it hasnt changed in the 12 years we have been together.
Ive been thinking about us getting married as we probably should have done so years ago but it seems all people ever ask us is "So when you having a kid?" Our answer is always the same "We dont want them".
We both have nieces and nephews and its great hanging out with them but its great to give them back lol without any of the responsibility.
People always look at us weird when we say we dont have kids etc everyone i know has got at least 1 or they are planning for one and yet they seem mighty jealous of us for having so much time for each other.
We are going on holiday to italy next year as we recently sorted out our passports, its my first time on a plane as it is my girlfriends and we cant wait but it seems people i know that have kids expect us to drop everything to look after their kids and apprently going to italy for a week with my girlfriend on our first holiday together and missing my sisters sons 2nd birthday is a crime.
I just dont seem to get why people get so jealous and pissed off because me and my gf have time for each other and can do what we want, they decided to have a kid(s) so why all the judgement and jealousy?
We have never played into a 10 year plan of "Get married, have kids, Work work work work" that so many seem to accept as the norm, we work hard for our money and the way we see it is if we only live once, why not have fun with each other rather than spending the rest our lives looking after another human?
Sorry, just needed to vent.
