Dear Queenie,
I’m in my 20s, graduated college and am working in a job that will give me advancement in my chosen career, but my family keeps asking me why I don’t date and if I don’t date how can I ever expect to find someone and get married and start a family.
Queenie, I’m quite happy being single. How can I get my family to understand that I’m not interested in marriage or having children?—Happy by myself
Dear Happy,
Just keep telling them what you have told me.
But you should consider carefully your reasons for feeling this way, and the possibility that your feelings may change as you get older and when that happens it may be too late to change your lifestyle, especially, if you are a woman, where it concerns having children.
If you need help sorting these things out, professional counselling probably would help.
