No marriage, no children, no regrets
“I never married. No kids. I guess I was always open to the marriage thing, but I never wanted to be a parent. I don’t know why, really. I love kids. Maybe it goes back to living in New York City for so long.
“It was kind of weird to me when I came out here to Texas. Everybody was married and everybody has kids. In New York, I hung out with a group of people who very few were married and even fewer had children.
“Maybe it’s always been selfish of me, but I always wanted to do things and I always wanted to be out and experience things. I found, or at least I thought, it would be a little limiting if I had children. So I steered clear of that.
“Who knows. Maybe when I’m an old man I’ll get a little lonelier. But right now, I don’t have any regrets.”
— Kurt Grevenberg, 47
