marriage-pressure
Hi, I’m a 30 F, and my parents are religious Sikhs, I however not really that religious, and my parents didn’t really care when I became older. I’ve always had a good relationship with my parents (beside teen years which I assume many can relate to).
They’ve given me the freedom to choose who I want to marry etc for years. But personally I don’t really want to get married, I know Sikhi advocates for family life etc. but recently not them but other family members have been pressuring me, I really dont want to get married at all. I love my life as it is now, I have a good group of friends, my own place, good career (which I love), and soon I’ll be able to be partner at the firm I work at.
Are there any tips of how I can talk to my Punjabi Sikh parents because they’re not really accepting with the fact that I don’t want to get married. I’ve been even told by family members how will I have kids etc (which I’m assuming someone might comment), I don’t want kids, I would never put my body through that, it’s just not for me (maybe adopt when I’m older but idk)
