To commit or not to commit

All my siblings both older and younger than I have either a spouse or a child to keep them occupied. They’ve moved onto the next step in their lives. Whilst I love being single and not having to commit to relationship I do miss companionship, like, a lot. Pretty much everyone who I socialise with including both my immediate and extended family always ask me when I’m gonna settle down and the reality is that, I’m not actively looking for a spouse, or not really on the ‘to-do’ list. I turn 26 next month and I guess the cultural and also faith based stereotype is that I probably should’ve have a child of my own by now. I adore children, just ask my nephew, he gets whatever he asks me 😂! It’s not easy finding someone who you really click with, for me, I need someone who’s active in their life so that when we both have free time, we can enjoy each other’s company. My mum always says, “Ray, even if you elope, I don’t mind, just come round with her and introduce me” - mum is so chill with me. Perks of being the black sheep of the family 😏

I feel ya. Even my grandma is so impatient she's half joked about me tricking a rich guy into staying by getting knocked up 🤦‍♀️

I have 3 younger sisters who are all in commited relationships and live with their partners. They're 20, 22 and 34. (I'm 35)

@mynameisray yee,either way, I'm not gonna do that.
I don't want kids, I have enough money to get by and I have a concience.
