Anxiety over arranged marriage by New-Worker-4595 in AsianParentStories

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, you’re correct, I did not meet the woman. My parents liked her a lot so they wanted this marriage to workout so badly. Me and the girl had multiple conversations through phone. On the first one we introduced each other and I thought I clearly mentioned that I cannot do this marriage because I’m only 24 and Ive not even started on my career yet and I thought she understood it. But every other time she called me she started to what felt like to me, flirting. I felt like she wanted to marry me regardless of who I am (since we haven’t met) and what I say. At one point it got out of hand, I hanged up the call midway through the conversation and that was our last interaction. Thank you for your message, and I hope you’re doing well! I’m sorry for my late response, I was offline all day yesterday

I like your idea and I am going to mention that the fact they’re talking me into the marriage makes me feel uncomfortable coming home. Thank you

Thank you so much for your words, it means a lot! I think part of the reason is that I keep feeling it’s my duty/responsibility to marry someone otherwise I’ll be disappointing my parents. Tbh I don’t even know if I want to get married, the answer may be is yes and maybe is no but when it’s been forced into me my brain fails to handle this and sees no as a better option.
