Before he dies and you find you've been disinherited!

Or you could tell him that the thirties for a man are a period of rapidly diminishing prospects and you don't need the pressure. You might make a big mistake.

You are justifying their intense harrassment of him as if they know better what he wants and needs than he does! How arrogant and condescending.

Yes parents want grandchildren but not everyone wants children. If the OP has made his feelings clear and they continue to harass him, it has gone past "love" and into control.

If they show up at your door, inform them that you have not changed their mind and tell them that you can and will pursue legal action.

Clearly this is affecting you drastically and drastic actions are called for. Grow a backbone and OWN your life, otherwise someone else will.

thats a bit extreme but I see what you are saying

Greetings,
There was so much of the same advice, just felt he needed to hear that true love may be awaiting him.
There is two sides to the story. His and his Dad. Wouldn't like to hear from the parents.
We made it easy for him, all he has to do is print all this free advice out and hand it to them.
Sticks and Stones you throw mean nothing to me. You dont even know me. I like to give encouragment instead of name calling.
Now doesn't that sound much more like fun instead of arguing back and forth?
BE BLESSED

GREETINGS,

I didn't believe in true love either. Great education, job, finances. Havin a great time. Not looking. and wasn't interested in dating. Yes my family hounded me, but I would just smile and say I love u anyway. No they never gave up asking me if I met that someone special.
They left a message on my recorder and I Played it back to them. They realized they were overboard and back down alot.

Then one day I looked up and when I looked up there way My Prince Charming. I knew
Then I asked my parents why did u hound me? They said that in there generation it was just that when you Grauated from High School you got married. That they worried about me.
So even thou it may be driving you crazy, I'm sure your Dad loves u and just wants the best for you. I wouldn't entertain explaining yourself to them and dont get rude. My Father is now deceased and I would love to hear his voice again. So make peace with them and dont let anger get the best of you. Print out all of this and send it to them.
I trully hope in all of this advice there is something here for you to go by.
Be BLessed

Just tell them you enjoy your single life and have no plans to change it. You are happy the way you are. You will probably have to repeat this more than once or twice.

I've found people are very confused by those among us who choose a different path. They probably do love you and they want what they consider to be the best for you.
