You've never made a hole in a papaya and put it in the microwave? That's the first lesson you learn about papayas, Papaya101.
No, emergency room visit with fried wors.and then...American Pie frolicking?
To the OP:
I read your issue again, and I can honestly say that, you need to change your perspective a little. There is no need to be married or have kids.
The questions you need to ask yourself are:
1. Do I need marriage, and for what purpose?
2. Am I fine with having friends with benefits for the foreseeable future?
Being married is all that and a bag of chips, but, its hard work, and not an easy road by comparison. Kids are expensive, and a huge drain on your energy and free time.

No thanks.

When they're little, they're your biggest joy...and then they become teenagers and you seriously consider running away from home, taking a hammer to the PlayStation, changing the WiFi password, dropping them off in the middle of a forest...I disagree. Most people I know with kids are unhappy and their kids cause them more stress and unhappiness than happiness in my opinion. Very often they're the source of the unhappiness.

Rearing children is definitely not all fun and games.

Fsks you guys are negative about kids, they are amazing but if the parents are screwed up then the kids take it all on and not surprisingly that little cauldron of witches brew can turn out a rather unhappy situation for all involved.
Get your ducks in a row then have kids. Don't have kids thinking they'll magically get your ducks in a row that doesn't happen, granted some people do serendipitously see the light after getting kids but by and large kids will just aggravate an already open wound... then the septicemia sets in.
Luckily your parents did.Or don't.
