Can i give you a brotherly advice? I also resisted getting married for 3-4 years as family pressure was growing. I did not even come from a society or culture where daring was normal. So i never dated. I would always make friends with women who were already engaged, just so that there was no possibility of a serious connection.

Then in the age period 27-29, I saw more and more (almost all) of my good male friends get married. I started feeling left out a d even when I would be invited to family events, I would feel odd. That is when I changed my mind

Pleaee... Don't follow society norms. There is a time for everything. As soon as you feel financially stable, get married.

I am preparing for MBA, while still being an engineering student. And my friends are struggling to get jobs through TPO and all. I am feeling that life is passing by, I am letting myself be left behind.

It feels as if, life itself is testing my patience here.

i'm sorry... i'm on my mid thirties and i don't get upset. i wanna freeze my eggs though. you're a man you can still get someone pregnant even if you get older

some people will say they don't want that their old and their kids are still young. i think parents enjoy their kids more when their younger because ilder they get the more they focus on a lot of things like having kids on their own, finding their partner in life, their career...

what really ipsets you about it? what are your fears? strengthen your relationship with Lord Jesus. He is real.

Where I live, it's still a surprise that someone my age IS married. Most people I know are in a serious relationship of some type, but in terms of putting a ring on it, definitely dragging their feet 😂.

Or maybe most of my friends have too much student loan debt that they want to pay off before pitching in for a big white wedding. I'm definitely in the middle of the pack of my friends. I think we'll all be engaged in 0-2 years time, or be going through some next level sex in the city type break up.

Well, we are not in your situation, we are older parents. It is strange when our kids have play dates or other school type activities and we are the only people in our 40s with kids still in elementary school. All the other moms and dads look like they're in their late 20s early 30s. Best thing to focus on is making yourself happy, things generally fall into place she able to do that on your own.

Tomisworthless · Answer

Hmmm uhm maybe a bit jealous and uncomfortable knowing they are now taken. But, then I think to myself I have no reason to be because it would be no different to me. I’m 28 ugly quiet and passive people think I’m gay I’ve never had female friends and don’t know how to talk to women to be able to ever have a marriage and offspring.

kylee2437 · Answer

I do myself but honestly you have no clue what people are hiding behind those situations. My friend is about to have a kid and her life is a disaster to say the least. It makes me feel a bit grateful that I didn’t settle at this age

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I don't want kids, I want marriage, but I don't get upset seeing others being happy. It's the people who are miserable that are usually much harder to be around. Exceptions exist for both.

denisenic01e · Answer

I feel like some people are missing out on life & career accomplishments they can make alone.. But whatever, as long as people are happy.. It doesn't concern me.

Haha456 · Answer

I"m planning on having kids by the time i hit my early 30s if i don't end up finding a husband. there is so much more to life than getting married.

Lucy68 · Answer

I don’t get envious of married couples cause I know marriage is very hard work and I have less responsibility than a married women.

Apple1996 · Answer

You shouldn't feel upset. Everyone does things on their own timeline

Jamie05rhs · Answer

This bothered me when I was like 22. But I got over it. Now I'm quite satisfied, because pretty much all of them have gotten divorced by now. So I'm the one who has the last laugh.

Whatthefluff · Answer

At my stage I’d say “glad that’s not me right now.” With the kid part, anyway

AdithyaR · Answer

Considering that either of those two are part of my life goals, i don't particularly feel anything when i see people like that.

Sometimes then It could be worse. Like you get married and have kids. She divorced you & make you paid for the child support. You’ll have to a new place to live.
