Being overly concerned that you are somehow disappointing them by not wanting to marry and have children means you are a little too emeshed with them emotionally.

Please do consider speaking with a therapist.

A therapist won't do any good. If I don't reproduce, everything stops with me and that is not what my folks had in mind.

It's not a big deal, I'll figure things out so that everyone ends up happy.

It's a bigger deal than you want to admit.

Again, you do not appear to have an emotionally healthy relationship with your parents.

Please get some help.

How not? If I didn't have an emotionally healthy relationship, I'd just do whatever I wanted and would be like "the heck with you two!!"

LOL I found another crazy ass picture of me with my successful, handsome, fifty something husband - doesn't he just look so miserable with his middle aged wife? This was at a costume party, and that's not my real hair, by the way - it's a wig, because I'm dressed up as Julia Child, the famous chef. Note the rubber chicken hanging around my neck.

This IS my husband's real hair, however!

He is the quintessential Texas gentleman and I am absolutely crazy about him!
My hats off to you guys.......

Good salt of the earth types.

I got much respect for men like your husband. I try to walk those same steps...............

I hope you do - honestly, in the long run, it's easier!

I know I am a lucky woman - but I try to be a good wife as well. We have both been married to unfaithful spouses in the past, and we understand the hurt and loss. We take the sanctity of our marriage very seriously.

LOL, that's always been my nickname for him - "Marlboro Man!"

The first time my mom met him, I thought she was going to swoon!
