Salaam. Needing everyone’s advice. I am a male tithing 34 this year, iA. Family constantly asks me when I am getting married. Rishta aunties and uncles can be frustrating. Everyone tells me that according to desi culture since I am getting old I should be married by now. I ignore all the time but it can get stressful at times. Any M or F in a similar situation and has advice for me? Thank You.

I’m 27 F, not family but friends who are married and getting married (almost everyone in my circle) keeps talking about married life, kids and wedding plans.


One of my friend asked me aren’t you looking for matches and then I replied saying yes, but maybe marriage is not my thing that’s why it is not happening.

And then she told you will be left out and you will be all alone.
Though she was very concerned about me but it scared me.


So now everyday living with the fear of being left out.

You are not alone in this 😓.

The only thing you’re “missing out on” if you get married before you’re ready is an increased likelihood of divorce.

Your friend might mean well but unless she’s ACTUALLY ready, she’s setting herself up for failure. I don’t mean “mom and dad said I’m ready” I mean “I’ve worked on myself enough to know my own faults” ready.

My older brother is 32 and gets the same treatment. Doesn’t help that I’m four years younger and got married before him.

My personal opinion is that you should wait until you’re ready. Marriage is a big commitment and requires you to go in 100%.

However, on the other side, my dad got married at 40 and he regrets it now. If you want kids, it’s harder to keep up at an older age. Plus, once they get older, you have the chance to do things that you wanna do.

Yes, I get the same treatment but D1 said it best…it’s simply a commitment not to be rushed. Post in the rishta bowl if you are looking.

Getting stoned in my old room because I don’t know what the fuck else I’m supposed to do right now. Yay!
