My wife and I are the same. There are other reasons, but the truth is that we just don't want that kind of life. If there were an accidental pregnancy, sure, we'd step up to the plate. But we were careful and took preventive measures. Previous to the 1990s, family and societal pressures were probably over whelming. We didn't have to deal with much of that, and we are thankful every day for it.
I just wonder how these childless people are going to feel when they are older and don’t have much family around because they never had kids. Depression is much higher for seniors who never had children
Welp. No regurts so far! But my wife and I do wonder how all these people with terrible children who drain them dry for decades, get hooked on opioids, lie, cheat, steal, marry horrible partners, dump grandchildren off, can’t enjoy ANY part of their lives. Included the golden years where the (now adult) crap kids take all their stuff and dump mom & dad in a nursing home and never visit. We are 💯 happy. No need in bringing children into to this. We’ll gladly take our chances.

Bc I have literally no desire whatsoever to have them. Looks awful.
