Nisha and Advait are a couple from Jaipur, Rajasthan who had decided to remain child-free. They were met with resistance from their families and society, but they were determined to take a decision that made sense to them as a couple. This is the story of how they made the decision and how they ultimately found happiness and fulfilment in their choice.
Nisha and Advait had been together for several years and had always talked about their future plans. As they reached their 30s, they began to consider the idea of having children. However, as they discussed the possibility, they both realized that they were not sure if they were ready for the responsibility and sacrifices that came with being parents.
"It was a difficult decision to make," said Nisha. "We talked about it a lot and realized that we weren't sure if we were ready for the responsibilities and sacrifices that come with being parents."
"We wanted to be sure that we were making the right decision," added Advait. "We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we were determined to take a decision that made sense to them as a couple"
They weighed the pros and cons and after much discussion and soul-searching, they made the decision to remain child-free. They knew it would not be an easy road, as they would have to contend with the expectations of their families and society, but they were determined to live their lives on their own terms.
Nisha and Advait's families were not supportive of their decision to be child-free. They were met with a lot of resistance and questions from their relatives and friends. They were asked why they did not want children and were told that they would regret their decision in the future.
"It was hard to face the resistance from our families," said Nisha. "They didn't understand why we didn't want children and were convinced that we would regret our decision."
"We tried to explain to them that it was a personal decision and that we had thought about it a lot," added Advait. "But it was difficult for them to understand."
The couple faced a lot of pressure from their families to change their minds, but they stood firm in their decision. They explained to their families that they had thought long and hard about their decision and that it was not something that could be changed.
Despite the resistance they faced, Nisha and Advait were happy with their decision. They were able to focus on their careers and personal growth without the added responsibility of raising children. They were able to travel, pursue their hobbies, and spend quality time with each other.
"Being child-free has allowed us to give back to our community in ways we may not have been able to if we had children. Without the responsibilities and demands of raising children, we chose to dedicate our efforts to volunteering, participating in charitable organizations, or supporting causes we care about. This freedom allowed us to engage in community service, philanthropy, or advocacy work, ultimately making a positive impact on society," said Nisha. "We have been able to volunteer at local organizations and mentor young people in our community."
"We feel like we are making a positive impact on the world in our own way," added Advait.
Nisha and Advait's story is a reminder that the most important thing is your relationship and decisions that make sense for you as a couple.
