I'm 27M, British Pakistani in London and I know that I have it much easier than others here but how does everyone handle the pressure to get married from family?

I currently live with my partner (having moved out around 2 years using my Masters as an excuse) but I visit family every so often. Both my parents have began to bring up marriage quite regularly. I used my Masters as a way to delay marriage but since that's now over, it's no longer something I can 'delay'.

I don't want to cut off family completely and I know coming out is non option especially since they're quite religious. I've been open to lavender marriages but I've not have much success or it's not been viable because of location, etc differences.

How has everyone handled pressure to get married? Do people have success with lavender marriages? Is the only option to cut off family?

So my younger sisters cat passed away recently and I'm suspecting medical malpractice.

Around Thursday afternoon, our family cat came in with a wound on his tail. He was taken to the vets and the vets prescribed antibiotics and placed a cone on him.

Unfortunately he passed away on Saturday afternoon showing signs of septic shock (likely due to the infection) including bleeding from his mouth and nose and twitching. He wasn't stitched up and it looked like his wound was deeper than we initially assumed when he was taken to the vets.

The vet in practice was Vets4pets (as part of Pets At Home). He was only two years old and we're all pretty distraught.

There were no vitals checked as far as I'm aware, the vets didn't stitch him up at all and we hadn't realised the depth of the wound. I've requested for a full record from the practice.

He occasionally would hurt himself going outside, especially given his age but because he passed away of sepsis, I'm suspecting medical malpractice.
