My grandma keeps pushing me into marriage?

[Anonymous]

It'll never happen and even more so under this administration. I've told her numerous times I'm not getting married and don't have to desire for marriage. My sisters are married and go through hell - I love my space and freedom as I have been 18 years.

Good for you!
You stick to your guns!

And what disappears with marriage?

Your grandma wants you to get married, but you don't want to. You value your independence and have seen the difficulties your married sisters face. You've told her this, but she persists. It's your decision, and you need to continue to communicate your feelings to her.

Or she can mind her own business

marriage has nothing to do with this current administration. it effects nothing. not sure what you mean by that. but just keep ignoring her. i mean, what can she do? force you? no. if you don't want to, then don't. no big deal.

Marriage under this current administration has a lot to do with it no fault divorces and bills restricting married women from voting - are we on the same planet?

[Opinion Owner]

not sure if you're on the same planet. none of those bills are in place. are you planning on getting divorced 4 years after you marry? this administration is here for 4 years. if you are planning on getting divorced in that time, then don't marry. you don't even want to marry anyways, so no need to think on this too long.

[Asker]

I'm not marrying at all

[Asker]

The whole point of my post

Marriage is wonderful, but don't let anyone push you into it. Many people are just not marriage worthy and if you get stuck with one of those it will be hell.

[Asker]

I just said I'm not marrying under this current administration - no way

[CuriousKevin_]

Do not marry your grandma. That’s all kinds of wrong.

[Asker]

I wish she would sthu... This is what happens when you let religion dictate you

[slatyb]

When age brings it up, don't respond. Instead change the subject to anything else at all, the weather, other family, whatever.

[Asker]

Yep she honestly thinks I need a man for survival - I've maintained a great life without a man - career / business wise

[slatyb]

You don't have to answer her prying questions. Do this:

"Are you seeing anyone?"
"Wow, it sure is cold/hot/wet/dry/humid today!"

You can say once "I'm not going to discuss my dating life with you." Then if she brings it up, just turn your back and walk away.

[Asker]

I really don't care about her opinions or anyone else pertaining to marriage

[Asker]

Noone should be walking around forcing or asking people to marry men or women

[Asker]

Every now and then she brings it up

[Anonymous]

Under this administration? What does the government have to do with getting married? Nothing is going to be changed that would affect you personally.

[Uglygaypoorcoward94]

not everyone should be married and many get into them for the wrong reasons. We came this far as a people with only 40% of all men procreating

[Asker]

I'm not marrying under this current administration

[Asker]

I wish men the best in seeking wives

[Asker]

I agree marriage is certain people - I realized I'm happier single

[Anonymous]

Marriage is a beautiful thing. Listen to your grandma.

[Asker]

You can marry her and no I am not interested in being chained to a man

[Asker]

It won't end well

[Asker]

I don't follow heteronormative relationships or what society wants

[Opinion Owner]

Okay, I know you will realize how special marriage is someday.

[Asker]

IDC about marriage

[Asker]

It doesn't benefit women and I wouldn't last in a house with a man

[Asker]

American men aren't the best candidates for marriage
