[quote=Anonymous]I'm 35, in a relationship (not married) but no kids (and do not want kids). My life is not at all how I expected, but I think it turned out for the better so far.

I've seen so many of my married friends have all kinds of marriage problems, especially with the strain having kids adds. They are all chronically stressed, frustrated with their spouse (at best), and worried or angry. I value companionship over being married, and I'm happy being the fun, cool, energetic auntie. 30 years ago I would be considered the the loser, sad spinster - but I feel very fortunate.

I have more disposable income, can sleep in, am in good shape, like where I live, and feel pretty happy most days - even though life is quite different than how I imagined a "perfect picture" to look like when I was a kid.

Like OP, I no longer speak to my brother because of his mental health issues (bipolar at best, BPD at worst), but I also see this move as a positive, as my life is made better by not dealing with him. [/quote]
