Have I failed at life if I don’t ever get married or have kids?

Answer 1

No you don't... You failed your life if you get married and have kids but you made them terrible... Suffering... And miserable... 

Answer 2

no              

Answer 3

NO.

No one  is a "failure" unless they cop That attitude. Many starving in this world, to them; "success"" is their Next Meal..

I am 63, Finally getting married. I did not expect it. But I Wont  rub your nose in it, either.

How Old are you? If 30 or under, Still plenty of time. Worst thing to do  is get in a Bad marriage on peer pressure, have kids YOU don't want and too soon. The kids may not get the attention  they want ,you may not even be able to  properly provide for them.

EDIT:   Divorce is Sometimes Good. A  friend is on 3rd marriage, he Never Regrets divorcing that two-timer. 

EDIT  "Boring"??? No. When I was single,   I rode my Harley to NM and Old Mexico, had/Have a Wonderful time. Its just Better, two-up.

Answer 4

There are people who use the standard of their own life as a measure success.

Eg, I have a family and my wife cheats on my, my kids hate me, and I have a regular job that I hate, where I make no meaningful contribution. You should do the same or you are a loser.
