DEAR DEIDRE: NEITHER marriage nor children appeal to me – am I being selfish? My family certainly thinks I am.
I’m a man of 37 and my girlfriend is 34. We have been together for eight years.
Ever since I was a child I’ve said I don’t want children. It’s why some of my past relationships have ended.
My girlfriend and I have a great life with good jobs.
We regularly go to gigs and weekends away and often have a couple of good holidays a year.
We are happy the way things are.

My girlfriend says she isn’t bothered about children either.
Still, every time we see our families we are asked when we’re going to make our parents into grandparents.

Be positive about your actions instead of feeling like you’re denying your families something.
If they can’t accept your decision, it says more about them than you.
