When I walk down the street and I see a couple walking towards me who are close in age, and the wife/girlfriend is pregnant, I cringe a little bit (a lot) and shoot the guy a look. I can't help it. The look is exactly the same as the one I shoot a man who's wife looks to be dying of cancer. That might sound harsh, but the reality is the same. Your life is going to change in so many ways that it will NEVER be the same again. As a man in my late 20's, I'm not ready to give up on the things that I love yet. This isn't to say that you can't do some of the things you enjoy as you have a family, but they will happen less and less and eventually, your life will be a shadow of its former self.
Although I've never had any kids, and don't plan to, I do have experience with a long term relationship. I was with an ex for over ten years, and have been single for almost a year since then. My life has changed for the better in every single aspect, and this blog will be a testament to taking the road less traveled and loving every step. I challenge anyone to change my mind.
