Why do people get so offended when I tell them im not planning on getting married?

Older people always are asking when im getting married. When i tell them i dont plan on getting married before having children, they get shocked and offended. I dont understand it. Im planning on having kids with a coparent or going to a sperm bank. I have adequate resources to support my future children. Its not the ideal situation but i dont think its as bad as people make it seem.

Love has never worked in my favor. I can't find romance. Upon the rare occasion that i do find romance , they're not the type of person with the right character that i can imagine or trust to spend the rest of my life with. Its hard finding the right one. I can't force any of this to happen. If i force marriage, i will just end up being divorced mid life
