Writer's Block: Go it alone

Maybe in the same way that "society" pressures me to eat too much fatty food. And it's worse around the holidays! Stupid society!

More seriously, I think it's biology that's putting the pressure on you, chum.

EDIT: Yeah, that was the very "off the cuff" answer. Obviously, it's more complex than that. A large part of it is biology. Most people are hardwired to want kids and family at some point in their life. I don't see that as society putting pressure on people, so much as society existing in a certain state that is shaped by our biology.

Heh, for me it's a responsibility thing. Once, long ago, I sat down, assessed myself, and realized I had no right to screw up someone else's life along with mine via a relationship or -worse- by causing someone to be stuck with me as a father.
