I think it is possible to choose not having a kid amd still have a good life. And it is possible to choose having a kid or numerous kids to have a good life too.
There is a place in this world for every couple or singles, as long as you are making your choices with your eyes wide open, and have given your choices due thought.
I was once in the "I don't really want a kid camp". Took me 10 years of debating with myself, and listening to others to finally decide to have a child. It is definitely an experience like no other for me.
The lows of being a parent (including a period of grappling with post partum depression, and going through treatment), they are not something we should just gloss over. There are real challenges to being a parent, financially, physically and mentally. But the joys are also part of the whole experience.
Fully understand both sides, listen with an open mind, then decide.
I wish you happiness and content in whatever path you choose.
