If you're not married, do other people try to 'guilt trip' you into wanting to get married ?

I've had this a fair bit through my life - people around me trying to 'guilt trip' me into changing my views about marriage, weddings, families, etc. trying to make out the my kids are illegitimate because I was not married to their mum (or 'mum' in case of my 6 y/o daughter), trying to use religion to badger/belittle me into wanting to get married, trying to use cultural/social isolation tactics, etc.

Social and cultural isolation tactics don't work with me as I'm fully socially isolated naturally.

This is probably something a lot of people experience and like most forms of bullying/harrassment it tends to go largely un-reported and considered 'taboo' to talk about, like almost everything to do with marriage/weddings and social issues.
