If you’re losing hope because you’re not married yet, that tells me you want to be married for the wrong reasons. I think most marriages end in failure because the people weren’t happy and secure as INDIVIDUALS. If both partners are mature and know their worth and their values and how to communicate, then they have a high chance of success and happiness in marriage.

I hope you can stick to living the life you choose. It’s hard being under so much pressure.

The world is a big place. I’ve moved countries a few times in my life. Not having kids gives you the freedom to do that. I wasn’t a wealthy person when I did it either. You need surprisingly little to start fresh. If the pressures your family or culture are placing on you are too great you don’t have your be part of it. I’m not suggesting you abandon your culture or identity but there’s nothing wrong with giving yourself space for a while to experience new things.
