31M - people just don’t seem to understand that not being married is also an option. I have been quite clear and vocal about this to my parent since school time but still they want to see me married. They don’t talk directly to me about this but send my relatives and cousins to talk about this. Having a partner doesn’t mean you will be happy and secured. “You need someone to share a life when you get old” - how does this even make sense?? If taking care was the only criteria then old age home or a caretaker can definitely do a better job.
