I have none

My life is adequate 😆

But I’ve been binging Seinfeld

To me it is. To others, it's joyful.

It depends on what people want in life. Being forced to do something you don't want is always like a prison.

Even in a happy marriage, there are times you can feel trapped. When there are career conflicts, conflicts with extended fam esp in desi setting, etc.

Birth of a child can leave the parents feeling like their lives are being buried under a mountain of dirty diapers. All I can tell you is try to remind yourself now and then of the people you used to be. Take a short time each day to do the things you want to do individually and together. Both partners would need this, or marriage won't survive. Back home, there would be extended fam to take over care for a bit. If you're in the fortunate situation, take advantage of it.

At the end of the day, no marriage is going to be all flowers and butterflies. It's gonna take work. With the right person, the payoff can be beautiful. That one person who gets you by your side for the entirety of your life. 😊

If you’re marrying and having children because of societal/peer/family pressure, than yes as your life doesn’t belong to you only anymore- you’re tied for life with a partner once you have children and even after divorce. If you desire marriage and children then no, and you shouldn’t complain and stick to your commitment. Or else, stay single.

My only real issue is lack of sleep 😆

I'm content with no kids

I think it is for those who do not want it. It's a matter of perspective. If someone wants marriage, kids are good for them. If they don't want it good for them too. The problem arises when society forces someone to get married and have kids when they don't want

Live and let live. Simple

But we don't live in an ideal world. So that's never going to happen

100 percent. THIS.

It's a question of choice and your situation. People may love kids but the big question is will they be able to provide time, money, love and care for kids?

If there's even one percent doubt, don't do it. Parenthood is a full-time job.

Edit. This isn't a yes or no question. It's about choice.periodt.
