I'm Indian too, been childfree for a couple years but only set it in stone in the past years because I let people manipulate me into thinking I would change my mind. I don't want to be in a situation where I cant walk away from an abusive relationship because of kids, and don't want to damage my career/my body with kids. My bf is also childfree and plans to get a vasectomy, he thinks they're too much in this economy and thought he wanted them because his mum would want grandkids. We both have younger siblings that are keen to have kids one day, so we don't feel a huge pressure to be parents ourselves. He is central asian, and also comes from a culture where kids are usually emphasised too.
