My closet of friends constantly bugs me about getting married because they themselves are getting married. It doesn’t mean that I have to get married that soon.
I’m 25 years old this year and I get that it’s an ideal age to get married, but I want to get married at my own paced not being hurried by every f****** person around me.
My relationship with my boyfriend is coming to the 6th year, yes I do wanna be married to him but at the moment I’m trying to improve and grow myself and I don’t want to get married and then regret the things I did not achieve.
My ideal age to get married is 28 years old which is 3 more years to go. I’m in no rush. But my best friends annoys me constantly saying that I should think about my future with my boyfriend, yes I do think about our future just that I don’t post it out loud on social media or brag about it to everyone. I don’t publicize my plans about our future. I keep things between me and my boyfriend.
Best friend 1: you’re still trying to figure out ur future? Ur wasting precious youth.
*I consider myself as currently not wasting my youth because I’m loving my life, and coming from someone who has travelled to way more places than I could have imagine, maybe it applies to your youth but not mine*
Best friend 2: if your boyfriend says that we do not have that big amount of budget to get married.
*Yup, says the one who comes from a filthy rich family. You don’t understand what me and my boyfriend struggle through. Yes I plan to be financially stable before we get married so we don’t have to constantly argue about money like nowadays.*
Best friend 3: your boyfriend is not manning up so that’s why he’s not proposing to you now.
*correction, we both talk about having our own family and what our future would be like. Proposing is just a small matter it doesn’t define whether my boyfriend is “Man enoughed” or not.
Here am I, writing out in this confession page expressing my anger because my best friends don’t really see it from my point of view and they’re not being neutral to my decisions. They only see what they see on the outter side of my relationship and then judge me by my decisions. Not that I’m not open to hear what they have to say, but as my best friends they should just be happy for me regardless what age I decide to get married. Simply saying just be happy with whatever I choose in life.
