Meet Generation ‘I Do … Not’: Young women who refuse to get married — and vow to never change their minds about it

Becoming somebody’s wife isn’t something New Yorker Karly B., 29, ever wanted for herself.

Happily in love with her boyfriend of nine years? Check.

Marrying him? Absolutely not.

That’s no reflection on Matt H., 30, according to Karly, who works for a PR and branding agency and asked that the couple’s last names not be used. Before the pair met, the 29-year-old had always made it a point to avoid romantic involvements with the kind of men who wanted wedding bells and kids.

“It was a very prominent ground rule for me before entering any sort of relationship,” the East Village dweller told The Post. “I don’t necessarily need a contract that tells me my status with my partner or tells me that I love him more than I would without one. I know exactly how we feel about each other, and I feel good just with that.”

While so many of Karly’s single-and-searching counterparts swipe endlessly on dating apps hoping for their happily-ever-after, she was “never the girl who makes a Pinterest board for her wedding or dreams about what it would look like.”
