No, it's because I have some friends who have boyfriends and one of them might actually marrying her bf after college. I know I can't marry just to catch up with everyone else, but still.
But still, what???
Sounds to me like you are putting pressure on yourself. Stop that btw
We have strongly counseled our kids to wait until closer to 30 to even think about getting married.
Most people who marry do not do so at age 20, so I do not see why turning 20 should spark such pressure. I think it is a lousy thing to do in any situation, rushing other people to marry when they are not yet ready or if it is just a bad match, then that could lead to heartbreak in other people's life and not your own. It is reckless and selfish to pressure other people to marry.
Yeah that's pretty messed up. My parents don't pressure me. But I feel like society in general might put the pressure.
You are borrowing trouble that has not occurred, from an anonymous
group of people who don't know you and that you don't know.
In my opinion you're just wrong, most people will tell you don't consider marriage into your 30s. And even if you are right about "society in general" judging you... who cares? Only we know what is right for ourselves.
I don't think I have ever considered what "society in general" would say about my decisions about my personal life.
Yeah maybe she's acting like a desperate grandmoo wannabe.
I've heard a few of my exes mothers say that in front of me.
Mad me think what a bad mother she looks like right now.
