Is it wrong of me not to want to get married?

Question

My mom is pressuring me to get married. I do not want to get married at all. She wants me to get married next year. She feels as if it's weird or wrong of me not to want to get married. She has been planning my wedding since i've been a little girl.

Answer 1

No it is not wrong of you and it is your choice and you need to tell your mom in a nice way to back off and let you do what is right for you.

Answer 2

Maybe 50 years ago....you're mom is a dying breed.  Let her hold onto those formulaic vestiges of the past while you continue to build the world we will continue to live in.  Marriage is not for everyone and this needs to be accepted.

Answer 3

Explain to mom that you want her to plan you the wedding of both your dreams, but you don't want to rush it and do it with a guy that isn't the man you're meant to be with, just so she can have her wedding. Ask her to wait and tell her you're excited about it, too, but you want to make sure you do it once and only once. It's worth the wait, I promise. Don't rush it or you'll be in divorce court and then the wedding will just be bad memories.
