I'm about to turn a year older

Ira1991

"Today, the weather outside is too cold. Originally, I had no intention of going out. I just wanted to stay in bed, scrolling through my phone. However, for some reason, my mom insisted that I accompany her to go shopping and help her carry the things she bought. To be honest, going out in the cold weather is really uncomfortable. At first, I refused, but eventually, due to my mother's persuasive power, I obediently went out.

I have always felt that I am a contradictory person. I am enthusiastic about exploring new things, and if necessary, I am willing to go out and explore. On the other hand, many of my hobbies can be done at home. So, there was a time when, besides work, I spent most of my time at home. My mother used to nag me, telling me not to be so ""stay-at-home"" and to go out more, especially considering my age. She would say, ""You're not getting any younger, and how are you going to find a wife if you stay home all day?""

Of course, she doesn't say such things now. To some extent, she has given up on the idea of me getting married, mainly because I really don't want to. Since my mom has become more lenient in this regard, I feel that I should compromise. When she asks me to accompany her, I try my best to go with her to exchange it for my peace of mind. Unconsciously, another year has passed, and I've aged another year. I am now at an age suitable for marriage, and I feel the pressure increasing each year. I just hope that next year my parents won't arrange a blind date for me; that would be even more stressful.

I don't resist the idea of marriage, but I enjoy the single life. Since I enjoy it, there is no need to actively change it. When the day comes that I want to get married, I will naturally find someone. However, society has a stereotypical view that at a certain age, one should be married. I believe this mindset leads many people to hastily marry, only to end up in quick divorces. If marriage is such a hasty thing, then I would rather not get married. If I do, it will be for life. I don't want to marry just for the sake of getting married; that would be too boring."

But when it comes to marital fate, it's really something that can't be forced.

Samiksha

A marriage entered into solely for the purpose of getting married is difficult to find happiness in.

The amount of money needed for getting married these days is really quite a lot.

Indra55

Just work hard and make money, that's all.

That means it's time to get married and have children sooner rather than later.
