Be honest: Would you be sad if your kids decide to forgo marriage/parenthood?

He thinks to accomplish what he wants to accomplish professionally he’s not sure that he will be able to fit in a relationship and family. He says he’d love to get married and have kids, but he’s also OK with none of that if he had to choose between that and the kind of career he wants. He isn’t sad about it at all.
