This is the story of a woman who does not want to become a mother. It is not that she does not like children or she is the villain of the family. But she has some desires. Which she hesitates to share with the family. This is the story of many Priyas who also share through social media. Read this special story.

This is the story of Priya (name changed), who has been married for four years. As is usually the case in families, a woman is asked to become a mother only after 1-2 years of marriage. There is no doubt that becoming a mother is the most precious feeling in the world. But whose decision should it be? Husband-wife's or society's. Many times, the husband also puts pressure on the woman to have children due to family and social pressure. Now what does the woman think in such a situation? This is being told by Priya, who has refused to reveal her identity. Read in her own words.

I am Priya. I live in Sagarpur, Delhi. I got married on time. My husband is a CA. He is very nice and understanding. He never made me feel the lack of anything after marriage. I have done MA. I do not have any job, but I help my husband in his office. He is very nice, he never stopped me from dressing up or doing a job.

But I am in a dilemma. Often my relatives and in-laws ask me to have children. Some even taunt me that it has been four years but I have not had a child yet. Somehow I am dealing with the relatives but now I am thinking how to talk to my husband. What is going on in my heart and mind, what and how should I tell him?

The thing is that I don't want to become a mother. I don't want children. I am very happy with my husband. I am ready to walk with him at every step. But I don't want children. I am afraid of what and how I should say to my husband. Sometimes I am afraid that he might get angry. There is also this tension that my married life might get ruined because of this. I think how to convince my husband for this?

This is the story of many women.

Not only Priya, there are many women who think like this. Recently, famous TV actress Jayati Bhatia also expressed her opinion on this. She has been married for 32 years but she has no children. She says that she is happy the way she is. Nor does she have any regrets. She does not want the population of the country to keep increasing.

Many women have expressed their views on this

On the social media site 'Reddit', many people have expressed their views on this. Where a discussion started on the topic 'People who do not want children. What is the reason?' Where not only women but also men expressed their views. One user wrote, 'This is a very unpopular opinion. But it is not necessary to give reasons for not doing something. I am not in favor of not having children but every person has his own decision which should be respected. Maybe there was more pressure in earlier times but now society and things have changed.'

no need to give reasons

While another woman wrote, '100% right. Why do I need to justify my decision. I don't want to work as a nurse. This is my decision. Similarly, if I don't want children then the matter is over. Why do we have to give an explanation for everything?'

Questions arising in the minds of women

While one said, 'All I want to say is that until you get the right answer to 'Do you want a baby?', you shouldn't do this.' Another wrote, 'Life is already so difficult and hectic without kids. I can't imagine how I would take care of them all day.'
