Should I tell my parents I am never having a family?

[Anonymous]

Well, I am a 24 year old guy and my parents made it really clear since I was very young that I should marry and have a family.

But I hate that... I wouldn't want to have a longterm relationship, let alone marriage. I value my independence above everything.

So should I tell them that I am never getting married.

Yes

No

Grownup and stop being a Manslut.

Short term relationships are easy you can set unreasonable and act like an jerk then move on to the next woman/guy.

A real relationships requires actually following rules, building some tolerance and not being a jerk. People who refuses to do theses things generally lower the quality of life for everyone, which is why its a good idea not to associate with single people if you can.

I am not a manslut. In fact I have never had a shorterm relationship either.
I am just a regular guy. I do not have what it takes to have a successful longterm relationship.

I am sure you think that is true, but really its because you or if there were few enough of them the people you choose are simply not following rules.

It's your life to live as you wish. However, feelings and situations do change, and often "never" does not last forever. Just prioritize now and see how things turn out.
