Yes, after reading your post, I totally agree. There are definitely people who don't want and shouldn't have children. I feel the same way about marriage. When I tell people I don't want to get married again, they seemed surprised and say,"you don't mean that". Yes, I do, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. Although I acknowledge the fact I might change my mind tomorrow. I take what people say at face value. You say you are happy? Fine, you are happy. You say you aren't happy? Fine, you aren't happy.
But, at the same time, I do not want someone psychoanalyzing me on why I do not want to have children or why I don't want to get married. I don't make up reasons why people are married just because I don't want to be. Don't make up reasons why people have children. I don't think you would particularly like it if someone sat there and told you all their theories of why you don't want to have children. It's called mutual respect of another persons decision. I have no problem with your decision and how you live your life. But just as you do not like people assuming your viewpoint, don't judge and assume for other people either.
