Do you think I will regret not having children and never being married when I get older (regardless how old)?

Would you regret it?

Mind you, I'm a woman and don't have any nieces or nephews. Also, my mom is gone and my family is only growing smaller over the years.

My current boyfriend doesn't have children either and isn't keen on the idea of marriage.

I personally would have regretted never having children, I have an overwhelming need to nurture and I think I would have been unfulfilled if I hadn't had kids.
Getting married is a totally different thing, it's not necessary to be married in order to have kids, there are lots of children in the foster care system who need a safe place and plenty of care and nurture! - look at marriage as strengthening the love and commitment you have with each other and definitely don't settle just because you want a baby - that would be crazy and only breed misery and resentment if he isn't the one for you!
