Does your family pressure you to marry?

[Wervelwind]

I'm male, 33 years old and it's understandably becoming a concern for my family. I've talked to my mom, dad and an uncle about it about how I don't want to marry. I'm positive my mom isn't ok with my decision and has decided for herself that I will marry but she hasn't talked to me about marriage at all lately.

Next week it's gonna be Christmas holidays and another uncle will stay with us for a couple of days. I'm pretty sure he's gonna talk to me about it as well. I don't have difficulties with standing behind my decisions and I'll tell him the same as what I've told every one but it's tiring to do so because my mom may jump in as well and then it's gonna be a 2 vs 1

My mom and dad have already done a 2 vs 1 against me in the past so I'm experienced

I'm more surprised your mom didn't take an active role. Somali mom for there son's usually try setup a halal dating and looking for suitors. My mom went through this after i was 24, so did my male cousins, family friends and other local guys. It just show us which guys more popular with the local girls. One thing will never lack in are community is ladies looking to settle down

They never do it for their daughters

When you grow old and lonely with no children and end up in a nursing home you’d wish to listen to your hooyo.

No. As long as we are happy and healthy that’s all they care about. Also it’s fine if you don’t want to get married. I have older relatives who’ve never gotten married or had kids. I’ve had relatives who’ve gotten a divorce and never remarried. What I’m trying to say is that everyone has their own path and story in this world. And your path includes not getting married and that’s alright. We will all die one day so do what makes you happy.
