Search Results: age to get married

As the title stated, can career and marriage goes hand in hand?
Or you can’t? Because you have to be super focus on pursuing your career so you can’t get married yet. I’m asking to everyone here. Not just men but women as well. Maybe you can share your story? I’ll start with mine..
My boyfriend told me that he couldn’t marry me yet because he’s still pursuing his career. He’s a CFO of an investment company. I’m working as well and never asked him for anything because I’m making enough to make myself comfortable. In my life, career doesn’t mean everything. Maybe because I’m not super ambitious. I was. But now, I’m content. I will even say, even if my boss gonna give me a higher position with double salary, I will say no to that. I don’t want extra burden.
My boyfriend and I been in this relationship for more than a year. We are 31 (me) and 33 (him) y/o. That’s a good age to get married and in my culture, I’m a bit over time already. When you’re 31 and single, a lot of people will be giving you the look. 👀
We lived together already and I thought he will pop the question some time this year or next year perhaps. But I’m in so much surprise that I lost my voice.
He said that he couldn’t marry me yet. He wants to focus on his career and doesn’t know when he wants to get married yet. Maybe when he’s 35,37 or even 40. He just don’t know yet. So he decided to end our relationship because he knew at some point, I want to get married. I don’t wanna waste my time waiting for something that uncertain.
So, here I am, asking your story.
