I’m in my early 30s and my parents and relatives keep pressuring me to get married.

Here’s the thing, I spent my 20s living with schizophrenia and have recovered well; I have earned a Master’s degree and can work full time.

However, I don’t want children as I fear they too will have my condition. When I relate this concern to my parents and relatives, they tell me to “trust God” and “not worry about it.”

I have little interest in getting married; women can be fun to hang out with and “do stuff” with, but the idea of binding myself to one with all the nagging, manipulative games, and arguments seem like they would make my life miserable. Plus the massive cost of a divorce doesn’t sound appealing either.

I appreciate any and all advice.
