Taking in consideration how many people are utterly miserable in their marriages and don’t have one good thing to say about their spouses, marriage isn’t any kind of huge accomplishment. It’s not like winning Nobel prize and it’s not a rocket science. Many are married because they can’t manage their life alone and want somebody else to take care of them, many don’t have their own identity and can’t even pay their own bills. Hope you aren’t envious of those women.

I’ve been single and am married and I like both situations, my marital status didn’t change who I am as a person. Your marital status is secondary. Who you are as a person is way more important than being married or not. You can accomplish a lot and grow as a person being single or being married.

As about having children, ideally and in theory everyone would have kids in happy intact families. In reality too many people raise children in miserable families, their kids grow up repeating the same cycle because they watched their parents in miserable unhealthy marriages. Taking that in consideration, eventually you might decide to have kids single. Nothing wrong with that.

Focus on your growth and improvement. Focus on finding joy in life. Focus on helping others. Focus on becoming independent. There is more to to life than finding a husband.

And don’t listen to jerks (of either gender)
