How Exactly Do You Guys Manage Marriage Pressure From Family Members? by Hamachi(f): 7:10am On Mar 14, 2022
How exactly do you guys manage marriage pressure from family members?

I and a family members had a function together some weeks back and out of the blues my elder sis asked if men don't want to get married.
I told her they want to, but they need to have a confirmed source of income....That how does she expect them to get married when some are still struggling to even feed.

My in-laws (brother's wife, sister's husband) joined in the discussion. They said I'm coming of age and I need to get married and start having kids so i can train them when I'm still strong and agile, not when I'm much older and weak!
They even opted to support financially when I'm ready! They said marriage brings good things....that i will surely get a job or business when I marry.

They said a whole lot.........like telling me marriage is not when you have it all. My elder brother even said he had nothing when he married his wife.

All talks from left to right was just ringing in my head and making me feel bad, like I purposely don't want to marry. I have no job nor business, not even a gf! The thoughts alone is just tearing me apart! The worse of it all is the pressure from my mom!

So bachelors in the house, how do you suggest I handle this?

Matured responses pls.

Tell them to contribute to the wedding expenses. This works every time.

It seems you are the last born

Bill them if the pressure becomes too much, use the money go start business grin

Dont let anyone pressure you, times have change, they had it easy during theirs, ladies were understanding then, unlike now.

The decision is yours to make when the time is right, before then keep working on improving your earning power.

Even if they will assist you with the whole wedding/marriage expenditure, will they also assist you in your family expenditure? Will they also assist you in paying your bills? Getting diapers?

OP...
Have a stable source of income first before you think of marriage undecided....

Cause no matter how much a couple love each other, if there's no money, that love will fly out the window faster than the speed of light undecided...

So chill awk?
And besides, marriage is not a do or die affair, it's not a child's play, so don't allow anyone to guilt trip you into doing something you're not ready for...

Life is sweet when you're chopping from different calabash at the same time.
Never commit to one vagina whether married or single
Just get a girl pregnant when you're ready to have a child, anyother thing can follow after

So you're actually a guy.
