You're not alone. My spouse and I have been together almost 10 years (we're both in our mid-30s now) and it never lets up. We still get "the clock is ticking" and "it's not too late." Family, coworkers, friends... they're relentless. It used to bother me, but now I brush it off like anything else. To them, that's all they can imagine life becoming. My husband is my best friend, and I don't feel incomplete in the least bit by choosing not to have kids. And I also don't need to validate my decision to anyone.

I love that! That's exactly how I feel. I am early 20's so I am not sure why I am having so many baby questions! My partner and I have only been together for 1.5 years too :D Its so hard trying to be nice but just want to say to mums that the lifestyle they have is my idea of hell :D
