Why are some girls afraid to get married?

Question

Why do some girls hate it when they are pressurised by their family to get married? What do you think is the reason behind this feeling of foreboding?

Answer 1

Well, the pressure. Who wants to be pressured into something they don't want? If a woman doesn't want to get married, she shouldn't have to. Married life isn't for everyone. Some women don't want to be tied down, some feel that with marriage comes housewifery etc.  

Answer 2

I'm also afraid to get married because I can't stand that my husband would be cheating on me and I'm quite self centered so I want to be no. 1 always and I have too much pride.

Answer 3

emotional fears usually are the reason...

such as will be cheat on you...

are you ready for it...

perspective on children etc etc..

Answer 4

Getting pressured into anything tends to bring out feelings of concern/bother in everyone.

Surrounding marriage specifically I think it's a pretty huge commitment to make to another person. I don't think it should be taken lightly, and it shouldn't be a decision made based on the pressure your receiving from friends/family. If you DO decide to get married because you're tired of feeling pressured, I think you're more likely to settle down with the wrong man (and maybe get divorced). Pressure can really ruin the 'natural-life-flow' or getting married 'when you and your heart feel like you're ready'

There's a lot that comes with marriage too, kids, financial funds being pushed together, buying a home, where to move (if there are kids involved, you want a good school district), you're really throwing away your independent life to share it with someone else. (That's not always a bad thing) But beware, if the choice is made too prematurely, I think all parties might end up worse off.

Answer 5

Eva it can come from having a bad view on marriage to begin with.

So you just don't think highly of long term relationships.
