Not a chance.  I like women and all, but I can't seem to find one that's culturally similar enough to me that I'd want to spend the rest of my life with her.  For a variety of personal reasons, I also have no interest whatsoever in having children.  I felt this way at twenty, and I feel this way at thirty.

Also, coming from a low-income low-education area as I do, the majority of my friends and associates got married in their late teens and early twenties, and nearly all of them regret it now, or would, if they were imaginative enough to do so.

I would conceivably get married, but under the twofold conditions of the Ironclad Prenup and the Ten-Year Engagement.  However, I'd never get OFFICIALLY married, in a courtroom OR a church.  Joining the love of my life, merging our two separate souls into one?  Okay.  Invite lawyers, courts, or priests into the equation?  Hell no!

[Vugor]

working on it, but stil gonna be a few more years

[Assassinfox]

I was in an arranged marriage my church picked for me, but then I left her. 

[Awayfarer]

More or less engaged here. Whatever you want to call it when you're a broke college student who can't afford a ring but has found (and lived with for four years) the girl you want to be with.

Long story short we're waiting for me to graduate in a few months.

[Faces of Mu]

No, living with the man I love, but can't get married because we're gay (not that I'm that interested in marriage, really, but who knows?)

I lol'ed. 

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Nope.
I doubt I ever will get married.
All the married people I know personally are dull, leaning to pathetic.
This includes my parents.

EDIT:
Oh, and I hate small children.

[Splendiferous]

when did this thread become such a friggin downer?
I think I might cry.

Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep thinking of all the pets that I've had, and how many have died while I've watched. Somehow, being with them and knowing what's happening is hard, but not being there is harder. Watching them, or holding them while they die is like a last chance to say goodbye to them.

I've had a lot of pets die while I slept. It's worse. You wake up and find their stiff, cold corpse, sometimes near your bed. If the pet is a fish, it's body is always partially cannibalized. Sometimes, with small mammals, they crawl to the edge of their cage, as close as they can get to your bed, and they die there. Once, I had a pet mouse die while I slept. I had had it for years. When I found it's body, it was curled up with dried, hardened blood coming out of it's mouth and onto the bedding in the cage. When I picked it up, it's tail was stiff and pieces of bedding had fused into the bloody vomit coming from it's mouth.

It had crawled to the far corner of it's cage, pressed up against the wall, as close as it could get to where I was.

[Splendiferous]

wow...

I feel better now!
thanks Inaluct!

I laughed so hard at the dead pets.

[Zai]

I laughed so hard at the dead pets.

I had more of a surprised, shocked face personally.

I'm not married, though I do plan on eventually settling down. Not anytime soon, though. And I don't want to have children. Too much of a problem. Ungrateful little things who take up a hefty portion of my money? Yeah, no thanks.

Yeah, I suppose getting married is sort of like having a pet mouse die a horrible death as you sleep.

That makes me feel so bright and cheery and shit. Thanks, Inaluct.
