My colleague told me I’ll regret not having kids

He’s around 60, and is a father of 4. He and his wife also rescued 2 children. He’s a very good man. So I’m sure his intention was not to offend me. I wonder if he feels sorry for me?, because it didn’t make sense what he said. I’m sorry but, Regret?<br><br>I am CF because I don’t want to be a father. It’s just that simple. It doesn’t really bother me that people won’t be able to see a male version of me in 20 years. My family also doesn’t care if I have kids or not.<br><br>What I don’t get is how I can regret turning down an offer of something that I never wanted for myself. Just to make it clear, I would have regrets if I got into a relationship or a marriage just because society or family or friends told me to. I would regret that. But not having kids? I can’t dispute it because I just can’t.<br><br>That’s my rant. I don’t think I want to have more kids, and I want to settle down. But the reason for that is not because I didn’t want kids, it’s because I don’t want to trap myself in a life I won’t enjoy.
