I have the same mindset. I mean I personally don't really think much of marriage, not that I have anything against it, but just I don't want to do it myself. If two people have been together for years and years, I guess I don't really see the point in getting married. If neither one flew the coop when they weren't legally bound to one another, they can't be too unhappy together, right?
I'm kind of losing hope as far as these two already. I don't know my friend's wife, so I don't want to pass judgment or make assumptions, but it seems like she's already reached the "I can let myself go since I snagged a man" stage before they even got married. She was a normal size (maybe a tiny bit chubby) for years and when I saw their wedding photos, I honestly thought it was a different lady because she was significantly larger, like at least 70 pounds. I can only hope they figure out how to have kids and pets in harmony, but I know how most breeders are and they'll probably decide the pets are too much trouble.
My friends and I are in our thirties, so I know it's that time when everybody's starting to have kids on purpose and several of my friends, acquaintances and classmates have announced pregnancies or had kids within the past couple of years. Makes me glad most of them aren't local so I don't have to pretend to be interested in their squirming maggots and bloated pignancy guts. It still sucks and I experience something akin to light mourning when someone I know reproduces because I know the person I know is going to die and be replaced with a soulless husk once the kid comes along.
