single forever

[Raghul007]

anybody here decided to be single forever because of there is a chance of passing mental illness to a child?

I recommend this podcast episode: longestshortesttime.com/epi... It's about a father and son helping each other deal with their differences.

Note that some couples decide they prefer not to have children, some couples get genetic counseling, and some decide on adoption.

Yes, I decided not to have children. I don't want a child to inherit my mental illness or have to deal with my illness. I longed for a partner for a long time, but I'm now okay being single. Relationships seems to bring a lot of stress and anxiety that I don't need.
