#OFF-TOPIC:

Need your valuable advice. I am 26M and working in IT field and from past few years I feel like I am left alone, no one cares and I am cared only because of money. No one to share or express feelings, it is just like a routine eat, work and sleep. Most of the times I feel like I need a companion and hence I approached my parents indirectly asking them when are they getting me married but the reply was harsh, mom was like keep 15 lakhs for sister marriage and after her marriage only

I should get married and dad was even harsh he told i won't let u get marriage unless her marriage is done and told to arrange money for the same. I understand parents don't have any financial back-up and I am managing the family expenses without any tension but when I heard such words from them then I felt like I am worth till the time money is generated. Also, for marriage i will bear all the expenses from my pocket only I wont ask anything from parents and even after marriage I will stay with parents and will save money for sister marriage and she is also working and saving only entire salary, seems like boys are seen as money making machine with no care towards mental health and feelings. After this I really feel like i am living only to fulfill other wishes without fulfilling my wishes. Please share your valuable feedback.

True and sacrifice ourselves..

Things we do for family... Such is the story of life.. Don't worry things will change for sure...

Sure.

You can wait till your sister gets settled, then plan for your marriage

🙏

Totally understand and relatable. Befor e marriage i experienced the same
No one to listen to. I would recommend to go office or try to make friends as this is the only time you can explore.

Post marriage.. most of the times you need to think 100 times to get sometime for exploring and making new friends.. try to utilise time .:)

Trying buddy, but no luck

Hey Buddy.
Don't worry.

Sure buddy. Life has to go on.

Saving 15 Lakh will take some time (easy if you have bought 6 lakh Rs plot and hold it for 3-4 years near a place where metros are being built) but go trekking or take one outdoor sports as hobby. You will make your own group or friends for new opportunities.

Do you share details about raises/bonuses/other financial gains with friends or do you keep it to yourself? I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make?? To me that feels like bragging/being arrogant. It’s also the way they say it, feels very much like seeking validation to me.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
