Same here. Years ago, I used to think that was a ridiculous concept...but there's some real truth to that.

I know how you feel. If I run into one more person who insists I really do want kids and just don't know it yet, but should get crackin' anyway I will...well, likely develop glowing red eyes and begin speaking the language of the old ones.

I am wondering what Mom is up to in this comic though. The best that I can come up with is that she's decided to distract him from the hurt by allowing him to redirect his feelings. Otherwise, it just seems oblivious to his feelings (which would be out of character in my opinion), but incredibly funny.

Kugai:
Grud I love Marten's mom.  Talk about trying to set your son up!!

One can just hear Marten's inner voice all through the strip.


48, never been married.  Only ever been in one long term relationship that lasted four or five years, and she was the type who puts people off.  'World owes her a living' type most of the time.  Grud knows why I stuck it out - guess I was young and stupid.  The only good thing I can say is that we never got married or had kids.

zadojla:
My wife married Husband #1 at 23.  That may be partly why I am Husband #2.  Married at 36, nearly 25 years ago.  (And I lived on my own for 10 years before that, not that I didn't have visitors....)

And for those without children, if you decide to have only one child be prepared for a lot of abuse from everyone, family to strangers.  "You can't leave her an only child!"  I finally had to get rude.  I would ask what was wrong with only children, get the usual litany, then point out that my mother was an only child, and were they inplying all those things were wrong with my mother?  Shut'em up, it did.

Elysiana:
Dated my first husband all four years of college, graduated, got married a month later at 22, divorced at 28. He turned out to be an asshole in several ways. Luckily we never had kids.

Got re-married this past year at 31 after current hubby and I had dated for almost two years. Now I'm about 15 weeks pregnant and happy as a clam even though I'd always said I never wanted kids. I guess that changed when I met someone who actually cared about me.

All I can say is, I learned plenty from the first marriage - about myself and what I want out of life. Sometimes I wish I hadn't had to go through all that crap, but if I hadn't I wouldn't be who and where I am today, and I'm pretty happy with my life now. I think people put too much importance on whether or not someone is married by a certain age and that seems silly to me. It can lead to bad decisions, like in my case.
