That’s what I thought for myself when I first got ill. I’m married with an adult child now and financially stable.

i never got married. But i was in a serious relationship and had 2 children with him.
No more for me now. I need to focus on raising my kids to be decent human beings in a very very awful world.

I am 55 never married or had a relationship. I come from an Arab Muslim culture. Marriage has been pushed on me since I was 16 years old. I recently had a talk with my cousin a couple weeks ago. And he’s preaching to me that marriage is a part of a Islam and like I’m not a Muslim if I don’t get married. And he’s telling me they have 30 year old wife for me that just needs to have a roof over her head. My dad even heard this and even mentioned me having children at my age. I also am not financially dependent on myself. And it is creepy and perverted to me that age difference. And I am angered that someone would preach to me what it is to be a Muslim.

I don’t have any children nor do I want one.
The world is getting crazier and crazier.
People are insane these days and they are the sane ones?
I would have a lot of fears if I was to bring a child to this world. I don’t want to pass on these fears.
Living expenses are getting more expensive. Food, housing, gas people barely make ends meet.
Social media and internet is a very toxic place and children grow up with it.
It’s very hard to be a parent these days.

it really is hard to parent with all these difficulties plus parents are no longer allowed to do certain things to discipline… which i agree with to an extent… but it just makes it challenging.
I worry about the world. Not for me but for my children, it causes me alot of anxiety. I couldnt care less if I got nuked tomorrow.. but my children deserve better.

@Trooper , many people within various religious communities think they’re helping others with their rules and opinions. It’s ok to have your own personal beliefs and to live your life accordingly.

I’ve been in a relationship with my spouse for 22 years, but we are not married. No children either. Probably will not get married ever. It is fine with me, I don’t need a ring on my finger to feel safe with my partner. I have never dreamed of my wedding day, wanting to have a princess day, I am just glad to have my spouse and love him.

I knew it as a child age six,that I will not have children or wife
As I am Orthodox Christian,my church can accept only married couples and monks.
I’m neither.
So I don’t belong.
As yesterdays post said, don’t want a friends neither…
Total freak

I was married to a very unstable dishonest cheating and lying thief.
She was very troubled and abusive.
But in all honesty I was pretty unstable myself during our 7 year marriage.
I’m happily divorced.

Are you a Muslim @Trooper ?
Do you believe islam as your religion or is it more your family’s belief and not yours ?
It should be up to you if you marry and if so who it be with and who you want to be with n so .
As salamu alaykum!
I’m not a Muslim but peace and blessings be upon you are beautiful words .

Maybe if real me was known and free and not stolen from eyes time aura nature spirit eons space light years golden moments etc someone authentic and amazing would have been interested in me as a serious true beaut partner .
I had bad people doing bad stuff to me n acting as me n stealing oppressing n make my bod do stuff against will etc etc
I think I met two or three men who genuinely cared about me .
Rest wanted to use n or me in another person so to say ….
Only place I felt at home in my memory Is sa country with x n dogs in best home ever n stunner nature .
Safe to feel like myself n breathe n so but left to become vegan n moved to horrible place for me treated bad etc
Anders also cared for me authentic self which is rare .
No one ever properly proposed to me .
Plus I’m not keen on government and paper work and religions etc etc and don’t want no man or anyone thinking they control me or own me or take stuff from me or steal etc
Divorce seems difficult process.
Although maybe it’s possible to have a marriage done in an awesome way without dramazzzz .
Best I never marry I guess but I can have romantic ritual of love 
and loyalty if wanted but easy going yet true n nice .
Would been nice to have kids perhaps .
The “family “ and noone wanted me to have children n said they make sure I can never have children n soon after I got ovarian cancer .
But I am nature and spirit n so forth and love making can be creative and life can be made born exist ….
I miss the lives taken from me as such and I miss myself and feeling g my self and all I am in real body not their body n not their yuck aura etc in my bod n so .
I have a loving true beaut partner now and I’m hoping we can have a better life .
We suffer too much kinda .
We were both not loved by “ family “ and treated different n abused etc
Would love real friends too loyal real ones .
Keep så faith we soon get our selves back to real bodies smd real ones etc
And own real estate n home that’s safe haven to just be .
My father and my cousin want me to marry for them. I don’t believe in this. My primary family doesn’t date. They ask from one family to the other to marry. I was raised Muslim. To my parents I am Muslim. I am really a philosopher with faith. I don’t get out anymore because I am stuck home taking care of my parents. Maybe one day I will find a girlfriend or something. Or marry. Or something. I don’t know.

LOL must be 15 characters to post
Hello, i turned 38 last week. I’m also a muslim and was diagnosed with schizophrenia when i was 25. My condition got so bad i had to drop out of medicalschool. I was pressured into marriage at 33 even though i knew i couldn’t handle marriage. We were married for 4 years and had a daughter thats currently 3years and 4months old. My daughter’s birth was complicated and she developed cerebral palsy secondary to neonatal jaundice. She can’t sit walk or talk up till now. Its been really challenging taking care of her. My symptoms were under control to some extent but i get these angry out burst which caused me to divorce my wife 3weeks ago. Schizophrenia has taking everything from me. Im never going to get married again. I should have never agreed to marry. Instead of just one life being ruined ( mine only) now 3 lives are ruined
