Not everyone wants to go through the process of pregnancy and childbirth due to many reasons like fear of pain or complications

That is my situation

Plus I do not know if I am truly ready to raise children and all the responsibility that comes with that!! !


I don't have the emotional maturity to raise offspring.

No one should feel any obligation to personally produce offspring.


Neither do I but it's a learned skill

Meaning that you can learn emotional maturity

The first step is for me to be around more babies and actually get hands-on with them


I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I've already maxed that stat out and don't feel like I can I just assume I will see further significant gains in that department.

Yes, also getting in a relationship with the wrong person just because you're feeling pressure can end disastrously. I remember being on the bus one time with a woman that a few weeks later was shot to death by her stalker ex. And, then there's folks that get trapped in an abusive marriage for the rest of their lives and wind up being miserably for decades.

Really, it's unfortunate in some ways that people have a biological clock in terms of having kids as it can put pressure on people to do stupid stuff to get to have kids and potentially miss red flags that they would otherwise notice.


Yeah, you should ONLY have kids with someone you trust!! !

That is why dating for about a year or year and a half is necessary!
