I am 47, single, never married, no kids. I think it is VERY hard to find the person I would be okay with living with. Regarding kids, the world is tough, I wouldn't want to intentionally have a kid that I subject to the horrors of this world.
Looking back as a 53 year old I am very grateful I never fell pregnant....I am glad i would never of been able to give a child a life better than my own...it would of been a life of pain, struggle and fear which i am glad I never allowed this happening...
Same here... Though in my culture without husband and children you are as good as invisible or if seen, a threat. But still its better than the other option.
45, never married, no kids woman that's just trying to survive. Being the parentified eldest of 7 siblings, I was forced into being the third parent so it completely killed my want for anything like that relationship again nor kids. I'm just going to remain in my little corner with my books, my art, my pets and caregiver now to my elderly Father. I prefer the peace of my time to the stress of what little free time I have being taken away from me. No thanks. ❤
Children don't take your time away. They are a feature not a bug in your life. Your parents failed you and your siblings. That is why you perceive family as misery.
@@benmyers9030 children take a lot of time to educate, giving attention, and build multiple income to cover their needs and education. She had enough and finally have a chance to lives life on her own
@@benmyers9030 you generalized that and consoled it to your behalf so you feel good about it. Maybe that maybe true if i had a kid too. Maybe , maybe not. EIther way, do what is happy for you man
I’m 58 never married no children. NO REGRETS! Do I wonder? Of course I do. Am I sorry/lonely/miserable/have doubts? NOPE! I love my single and childless/grandchildless life.
I’m 43, divorced, and child-free by choice, and I have never regretted it once. I would be perfectly fine had I never been married as well. I’m happy single now and while I’m open to the right relationship, I’m in no hurry and I’m not willing to get into a relationship just to say I’m not single. I’m just not ashamed if any of my choices on this front 🤷🏼♀️. Single in your 40s can be amazing. Dating isn’t great but that’s true for other age groups too; I think that’s just where we are as a society.
Couldn't have said it better. Love to hear when people are happy and comfortable with just being with themselves 💚 no one should settle just to make society happy.
At 50, I wish I had children, I wish I was going to have grandchildren, I wish I was married. Also, I wish, I came from an upbringing where family came first. Unfortunately, my family was divided and my mother was always projecting her misery on everyone. So I ran away and never stopped. I wish I had mentors who told me to take my time, get to know myself instead of feeling the pressure to meet someone. I could have avoided turning into the chameleon I was for years, all to end feeling empty and alone. With all that I know now, I would have loved to have meet my mate, rooted in a deep friendship, love and full of adventure. Build our pursuits, careers, family and wealth together. Some people prefer to be alone. I live with a giant void in my life being alone and question the point of even existing without a family. I hate it. I wish you all the best. I pray you all find yourself and not let your past predict your future. Thank god for internet now offering endless information and resources. I wish it was available when I was younger, desperate for connection and answers. It's been a long 5O years. Hopefully the rest of time is better.
@Mukanimou I'm not far from 50, and my heart breaks for you. I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to find someone in your early years. I hope you know 50 is not that old and that if you wanted to, you could adopt. Oh, there are so many children out there looking for a loving home. This is something I said I would look into when I got my own things sorted, even if I was single still. It truly breaks my heart to hear you didn't have the greatest upbringing. I was raised by such a loving and caring family. This was never my reason for being single. I just haven't found the forever person, maybe in time. Maybe you, too, just haven't found that right person, and I hope you do. Stay strong, be kind, and know that you are not alone. 💙
@@wanderingwithjenny671 I appreciate your comment and share. Don’t feel bad for me. At the end of the day I ran from all that was good. Yes, my childhood sent me on a tough path but many people overcome this and move in a better direction. It took me a very long time to redirect and I am left with the result of my decisions. My hope and pray is by sharing my honesty it will in turn help others truly be themselves and follow their hearts. In this case, to be parents or not. There is no right or wrong decision. It’s all about getting to know yourself and what matters in life to you. I know now, family was and is everything to me. I know now why when wondering around alone for so long what the giant void was and still is. I wish you all the best in life.
@Mukanimou I wish you nothing but amazing things. I hope you find happiness in this crazy world. All we can do is share our stories in hopes that others will not feel alone. All the best my dear 💚
The money hungry/career driven accusation is my main gripe! I think on the outside it appears like that, but work is for survival. It is VERY transactional to me and I literally get no fulfillment out of it. I use my job to live comfortably and pursue creative interests.
You are correct. Most think I'm career driven. When I'm in reality, I just have a job. I live a comfortable life just as you do. Thank you for your comment, and I hope you have an amazing day.
Married people do better financially. So if you actually wanted more money and more protection, you would have started a family. It's OK that you are career driven. You can be honest with yourself and everyone else
I like travelling, but honestly I prefer a thousand times staying at home. I can spend days in a row without stepping on my front door, and I'd be happy to live like that for the rest of my life, good thing that I work at home, I'm very confortable with that. And that's part of what you said, one has to know oneself and know what one wants in life, It'd be a disaster if I were to abandon my life preferences just to try to fit in with someone (someone that hates being at home for example), and that's what many people do and they end up in toxic relationships and feeling more lonely than ever.
I couldn't agree with you more. People settle because society makes you feel that way. I love that you have found comfort in being with just yourself. So many people have not taken that path. I believe that everyone finds their own way, and what works for one person isn't always going to work for another. Thank you for watching. 💛
I had turned 40 years old this year on May 25th and have never been married or have children. I am a male with high functioning autism, work part time at Walmart, don’t drive, and still live with my parents. I would like to live on my own and get married one day but don’t want any children. Part of the reason why I don’t want any children is because raising children will be a lot for me with my autism. I also hope that my future partner or wife likes to travel too and we travel to many different places and also go out and do a variety of things.
I wish all your dreams come true. When the time is right, you will find your Mrs. I applaud you for not letting it stand in your way. The world awaits you, safe travels. 💛
@@Jaycarbrownie12no, do not tell someone with autism that YOU know best. As an autistic woman, I understand this mans point and if you don’t understand, then ask, don’t force your view onto others!
Since you have autism maybe you don't understand so let me help. No one will marry you because no one wants to hitch their future to a part time Walmart employee who lives with his parents. Also, you will not travel because part time Walmart employees don't make enough to travel anywhere or even pay their bills. If you are "high functioning", raise your level of performance, apply at target or something. Your time is now. The world is not waiting on you. Your ancestors were meant to hunt, autism or no. Channel the spirit of your ancestors and make them proud of their bloodline!
Oh yeah lets just have a kid and see if its good for him. Doesnt matter if it goes wrong its just another helpless human that ends up in the system. Children are not experiments.
Just found this video. Title caught my eye. I can relate. 51 year old male. Never married or engaged. Pretty well grounded guy. As you say, I have a job not a career but I do ok. I have a degree of contentment and a pretty full life. I dread the drunk at weddings asking why I'm single - irritating to the point I avoid gatherings and occasions now. Some of the comments in related videos are pretty mean. Having said that, at 51 now Ive babysat an older male friend through a very nasty divorce and watch a cousin go through the same I kinda feel I've maybe dodged a bullet. I think some ladies struggle with being alone but a lot of guys crave it in my experience. Most marriages nowadays are destined to fail, wedding shops are going under - very telling. Count your blessings Jenny. Thankyou for the heartfelt video❤. I'll look forward to binging on the rest when I'm not so tired. Best wishes for your future. Sincerely hope you accomplish everything you desire. Greetings from Belfast😊
Thank you for watching. Yes, being single at occasions can be a pain. I'm now that pertain that questions them on their "happy" marriage. lol usually, they stop asking. I'm happy that you are content in your life and hope you make the best of every moment. 🩵
I am 21 years old I am from India I appreciate this video🙏🙏 It should be the best video in yt according to me Some positive thoughts I have get Hoping more positive videos will come
I just turned 44 , never married , no kids. Let me tell you that I tend to have more money and freedom than my married with kids counterparts. I feel mostly happy and not stressed. My body is in better shape than my counterparts too and I do whatever I want. I get a tad bit lonely sometimes but it isn’t overwhelming at all. My personality has always been resilient for being alone. I’m very focused on myself and I’m open to love some day if it happens but I’m not pressed. I’m blessed to be where I am in life, happy and healthy. I’ll tell you what , I’d be more worried about smoking and drinking and drugging than not being married or no kids. Everyone I know who is lost has those problems..
You do not have more money than married people in general. You have more money than your small social circle. Correlation is not causation. You are not "open to love" because love is selfless. You are a "tad bit" lonely now? What do you think happens when you are 64?
@@benmyers9030 you know my financials? I don’t thinks so. I make more money than two people put together in most cases. The rest of what you said and tried to be judgmental about you can shove you know where. I meant what I said and I said what I said.
@amazinggrace313 its obvious you are sincere. You are focused on yourself but open to love. That is a contradiction. Love is selfless. Love requires sacrifice. You are looking out for number 1. But you are a tad bit lonely. Will that get better or worse with time? At least you are very wealthy and can afford lots of trinkets to keep you company
@@benmyers9030 you don’t get to decide what I’m open to. You really sound like a hater on unmarried childless women. Our lives aren’t meant to live for men and their desires. We are autonomous beings and it would do you great to accept that.
I’m 32 and I didn’t fall in love with any guys my age. My boyfriend is 48 and we are very happy together. His daughter is grown, so he and I are able to focus on our relationship without children. He’s way more loyal and caring than any man I’ve dated in the past, and I don’t have to worry about him wanting kids because he’s co-parented already and doesn’t feel like he needs to do that again.
Talk about it. That is my best advice. You will be surprised at how many like-minded people are out there. The more people I meet, the more I find. Also, finding people who are divorced and are taking on the solo life. Have an amazing day. 🤍
@kevintutt2807 That is very true. I guess it depends on how a person's life turned out. I just hope people see that no matter how it went, life is a blessing.
I am 39 years old virgin man. Never had a girlfriend. My father left home when I was 7 years old. Raised by a single narcissistic mother. I am golden child and sister is scapegoat child.
I am 40 years old and I was in a failed arranged marriage due to my autism spectrum disorder and I’m definitely glad I didn’t have children and I help my younger brother with cerebral palsy
Single life is not for every woman. I got married in my early 30’s and i was soooo ready. I was super excited and still am. I tried the single, career driven life for over 10 years but I was longing for a family. I continued working on my own pace especially after the kids. Single life is not for everyone, just like married life isn’t for everyone either.
You are so correct. I know many people who can't be single. Some people need someone in their lives at all times. Everyone is different and so happy you found love and are happy with your choices 😊 🤍
Great video and excellent points. I am 43 and have been in many relationships but have never met anyone who (1.) I had a great connection with and (2.) would also be a great father. This is one of many many reasons I don't have kids. The cost of raising kids is the second reason. I have to add this 3 months later: amazing how may regretful parents there are in the comment section jealous of child free people.
I couldn't agree more, and thank you. I was just having a conversation the other day about the cost of raising kids. I don't know how people do it. Have an amazing day 💛
You don't have any worthwhile men wanting to marry you is what you are trying to say. Why do you think that is? If you were married, you would have more money, then you could afford kids. You are broke and addicted to copium
@@wanderingwithjenny671 they do it by making sacrifices. A sacrifice is something that costs you but benefits someone else. Also, you have more money when you are married, so there's that
In my experience, married women really seem to judge and dislike single childfree women. And these are supposedly happily married women, why do they even care?!
I have come across a few of those in my time. So many women felt the pressure and went with it. Unfortunately, I think the judgments are more about jealousy. I will say, though, in my case, I felt more judgments from men. And that, too. I believe it's just people who wanted this life but didn't end up with it.
we are just alike i feel like we are long lost twins souls, we are identical .i feel same way. when i was in my 40s my family was compalining to have kids and it was taboo not to have them even though that was back in the late 60s it has shown me times dont change much. now im happy and live a very happy en joyful llife. my husband complainsd he stills wants kids but i told him its still not a good idea.
I have no desire for kids let alone a relationship. No, not because I’ve had bad experiences, it’s literally because i just don’t wait it. I know deep down being single is best for me and I hate that everyone wants to see me in a relationship…
Never married, no kids. It is so chill so I hope to never marry or have kids. That would be amazing. Jesus Christ is enough for me. Have faith in Jesus, it will fill your life with beauty
Love is disappearing it's more lust than love out there We all know that lust has an expiration date so why bother when your heart is only going to be broken 💔
@bensanderson7144 If they want to be solo and kid free, you shouldn't. It's their choice. But of course, if that's not their plan, then yes, I do as well.
Even if your married and have kids, you will still be alone at the end. Becouse your children will move out and get married also, and your spose gonna die.
Male 60 never married no kids. Not gay! By choice never wanted kids and stayed that way. Marriage never interested me. Happy still single. Not in any relationship and not interested in any. I enjoy my freedom. Most weddings I have attended ended in divorce! One lasted one year plus note the collection of child custody issues, restraint orders, maintenance payments and lawyers having a field day! I keep out of all this. I run my business and meet wonderful interesting individuals on a platonic level. Interesting topic and I have no regrets being single as one is free and I love it:)
None of you wpuld be in this comment section of you all didnt secretly wisdh you had a normal loving relationship with your best friend and a house full of children to teach and spend time with. Especially during the holidays.
There is theory that there is part of self absorbed women that find themselves extremely special couldn’t get a man which would just be like them perfect in every subject. This is really funny part of the story “why still 40 and alone”. But if you are not of this part of women and there was just not the right guy or you weren’t somewhere at the right time then I congratulate you.
Oh, not me. I'm far from perfect, and I definitely don't seek that. Let's be real. Does perfect really exist? I just haven't met the right person. Maybe one day. Until then, I'm happy on this solo train.
@@wanderingwithjenny671 Sorry, I just noticed that this video is 1 year old, so I'll ask the question differently. Have you found that man for yourself yet?
@@wanderingwithjenny671 hmm🤔, so if you're that happy, why are you talking about it on social media? Are you looking for approval to confirm your emotional state?
@-ClayMan- my dear, I don't need approval from anyone. If you are here to be a keyboard warrior, you picked the wrong place. The reason I did this video is because I know I'm not alone when it comes to being happy and single. Society has taught us that we need to have a significant other in order to be happy. I'm here to show society that they are wrong.
Not everyone feels the need to have someone in their life. It's always a choice. It's also a choice to be in a loveless, unhappy relationship. That's the great thing about your own life, it's your choice. Truth!
My married friends are all miserable😂

He’s way more loyal and caring than any man I’ve dated in the past, and I don’t have to worry about him wanting kids because he’s co-parented already and doesn’t feel like he needs to do that again.
Awe love that. I'm truly happy you found your person. 💛💜
Thank you! I just turned 40 this year. Do you have any suggestions to meet more like minded?
Talk about it. That is my best advice. You will be surprised at how many like-minded people are out there. The more people I meet, the more I find. Also, finding people who are divorced and are taking on the solo life. Have an amazing day. 🤍
Some people either pity or envy those who are older, single and childless.
@kevintutt2807 That is very true. I guess it depends on how a person's life turned out. I just hope people see that no matter how it went, life is a blessing.
I am 39 years old virgin man. Never had a girlfriend. My father left home when I was 7 years old. Raised by a single narcissistic mother. I am golden child and sister is scapegoat child.
Sounds like it was a demanding childhood. Being golden child can be as difficult as being scapegoated sometimes.
Wow ur beautiful! I noticed women who are child free age wonderfully. U look so vibrant and youthful.
Awe, bless you. Thank you.
Came to say this too! 🩷💜
@@Jae-by3hf thank you.
Wow you are so thirsty! I noticed simps age pathetically. You look so strange and repressed
I've notice the same
I am 40 years old and I was in a failed arranged marriage due to my autism spectrum disorder and I’m definitely glad I didn’t have children and I help my younger brother with cerebral palsy
I always focus about myself and I'm really happy I'll stay single foreverr like this I'm so happy than anyone else it's so good
Always do what makes you happy.
@@wanderingwithjenny671 of course
Yeha me too. I am extremely introverted
@@KateeAngelSame here. I really love being a Introvert.
Single life is not for every woman. I got married in my early 30’s and i was soooo ready. I was super excited and still am. I tried the single, career driven life for over 10 years but I was longing for a family. I continued working on my own pace especially after the kids.
Single life is not for everyone, just like married life isn’t for everyone either.
You are so correct. I know many people who can't be single. Some people need someone in their lives at all times. Everyone is different and so happy you found love and are happy with your choices 😊 🤍
Great video and excellent points. I am 43 and have been in many relationships but have never met anyone who (1.) I had a great connection with and (2.) would also be a great father. This is one of many many reasons I don't have kids. The cost of raising kids is the second reason.
I have to add this 3 months later: amazing how may regretful parents there are in the comment section jealous of child free people.
I couldn't agree more, and thank you. I was just having a conversation the other day about the cost of raising kids. I don't know how people do it. Have an amazing day 💛
You don't have any worthwhile men wanting to marry you is what you are trying to say. Why do you think that is? If you were married, you would have more money, then you could afford kids. You are broke and addicted to copium
@@wanderingwithjenny671 they do it by making sacrifices. A sacrifice is something that costs you but benefits someone else. Also, you have more money when you are married, so there's that
"never met anyone who (1.) I had a great connection with"
It means you suck at judging people.
@@gregdenys7162Ok Greg. Don't have the balls to show a photo of yourself, just a troll making simp comments. Move along.
Oh my word! I miss you face and your voice so much! I absolutely LOVE this whole video!
Thanks love, miss you too. We need to catch up xo
In my experience, married women really seem to judge and dislike single childfree women. And these are supposedly happily married women, why do they even care?!
I have come across a few of those in my time. So many women felt the pressure and went with it. Unfortunately, I think the judgments are more about jealousy. I will say, though, in my case, I felt more judgments from men. And that, too. I believe it's just people who wanted this life but didn't end up with it.
I am 48. No children. I want to get married one day. I don't want children now that my mother passed
I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I hope you find a truly amazing person to spend the rest of your life with. 💙
Awww. Thanks so much
37 single, no kids waiting and praying for marriage not in a run , in good time it will happen.
@@pamelamkhize1070 so happy to hear. I wish nothing but the best and wish you many blissful years. 💚
we are just alike i feel like we are long lost twins souls, we are identical .i feel same way. when i was in my 40s my family was compalining to have kids and it was taboo not to have them even though that was back in the late 60s it has shown me times dont change much. now im happy and live a very happy en joyful llife. my husband complainsd he stills wants kids but i told him its still not a good idea.
I'm so happy to hear you, too, do not have regrets. Thank you for sharing with me. Have a beautiful day 💛
So you are in your 90s now and your husband wants kids?
That’s wonderful,Jenny!
Thanks girl ❤️
Asking why is not a problem, the problem starts where you think my reasons are not valid enough. That's where I get pissed off.
The reasons are yours and yours alone. You don't need to justify anything to anyone. Your life is your own, and you will live it the way you want.
Relationships and marriage. What an incredible waste of time, energy, and money.
I have no desire for kids let alone a relationship. No, not because I’ve had bad experiences, it’s literally because i just don’t wait it. I know deep down being single is best for me and I hate that everyone wants to see me in a relationship…
@@courtney5812 stay true to you!
I’m 45 no kids been married but was a step father. Dating and relationships just aren’t for me. I just gave up
I wouldn't say give up. But make sure the love for yourself is most important. Being comfortable alone is important.
I'am 33 male never married
If i someday want to settle down and getting marriage
I will find woman 19 - 24 years old to marry
I’m 40 and still single
😂😂😂19-24😅😅😅
Never married, no kids. It is so chill so I hope to never marry or have kids. That would be amazing. Jesus Christ is enough for me. Have faith in Jesus, it will fill your life with beauty
@@MyohmyBuddies so happy you are blessed with your choices.
39 never married and I don’t want kids
This video is over in the first 10 seconds. You don’t regret it. You don’t regret anything. OK
@static-and-rust I know right, it's so hard to believe 😆
Love is disappearing it's more lust than love out there We all know that lust has an expiration date so why bother when your heart is only going to be broken 💔
Agreed. There is no communication, no commitment and trust is slowly going away as well. Sad but true
Romance has already disappeared
4:27 Sixty-eight never married and childfree. Guys like me are never chosen. 😢
@@tyronewalker5764 I'm so sorry to hear that.
I’ve always felt a tinge of pity for the single and childless. They’re good people, though.
@bensanderson7144 If they want to be solo and kid free, you shouldn't. It's their choice. But of course, if that's not their plan, then yes, I do as well.
Even if your married and have kids, you will still be alone at the end. Becouse your children will move out and get married also, and your spose gonna die.
Male 60 never married no kids. Not gay! By choice never wanted kids and stayed that way. Marriage never interested me.
Happy still single.
Not in any relationship and not interested in any. I enjoy my freedom. Most weddings I have attended ended in divorce! One lasted one year plus note the collection of child custody issues, restraint orders, maintenance payments and lawyers having a field day!
I keep out of all this.
I run my business and meet wonderful interesting individuals on a platonic level.
Interesting topic and I have no regrets being single as one is free and I love it:)
@@ansett7272 I do love hearing both sides of it. Thank you so much for sharing. Stay happy 😊
None of you wpuld be in this comment section of you all didnt secretly wisdh you had a normal loving relationship with your best friend and a house full of children to teach and spend time with. Especially during the holidays.
You look amazing! 😊
@@antoinettesalaver6426 thank you
All women in their 40's with no kids and never been married have done nothing significant in their lives.
@sadsack8319 I'm sorry you feel that way
I don't have any regrets, I mean... I do
I'm sorry you have regrets.
The common denominator is her. Its her.
There is theory that there is part of self absorbed women that find themselves extremely special couldn’t get a man which would just be like them perfect in every subject. This is really funny part of the story “why still 40 and alone”. But if you are not of this part of women and there was just not the right guy or you weren’t somewhere at the right time then I congratulate you.
Oh, not me. I'm far from perfect, and I definitely don't seek that. Let's be real. Does perfect really exist? I just haven't met the right person. Maybe one day. Until then, I'm happy on this solo train.
Why should someone settle for less if they're happy being single? Some people just don't want a man in their lives. A relationship is not compulsory.
You dogged a bullet. Be thankful
@@jcking2586 LOL I don't think it's that bad for most 😆
My question. Why are you still single when you said that not everyone wants to have children ? Were you wrong about this assumption?
I'm so sorry, I really don't understand your question 😔
@@wanderingwithjenny671 Sorry, I just noticed that this video is 1 year old, so I'll ask the question differently. Have you found that man for yourself yet?
@@-ClayMan- no, but I'm not looking at the moment either. And yes, I'm still very happy. 😀
@@wanderingwithjenny671 hmm🤔, so if you're that happy, why are you talking about it on social media? Are you looking for approval to confirm your emotional state?
@-ClayMan- my dear, I don't need approval from anyone. If you are here to be a keyboard warrior, you picked the wrong place. The reason I did this video is because I know I'm not alone when it comes to being happy and single. Society has taught us that we need to have a significant other in order to be happy. I'm here to show society that they are wrong.
1:51 better get a dog
It's good to tell oneself it was a choice or it'll feel like being a loser. I prefer truth even if it's ugly.
Not everyone feels the need to have someone in their life. It's always a choice. It's also a choice to be in a loveless, unhappy relationship. That's the great thing about your own life, it's your choice. Truth!
What do you mean? For many people it is a choice! I choose to be childfree, and would do anything to stay childfree for life!
Supposedly you just know how she feels lol 😂 how ?
@@Jaycarbrownie12 Just listen carefully and you'll get it.
