When I first started reading your post, it sounded like you probably were 18 or 19... but later you mention that you were going for your masters, I realized that you are around 24 or 25 years old.
I can be very positive that I smell a past affair gone bad, and thus, you do not want to bring another relationship in until you are completely over with it. Education sometimes is a good excuse for the general public and our own parents.
Am I right?
(These are just my assumption. It can be wrong... but don't think I am attacking you in anyway or degrading or picking on you).
NJmasti,
I havent had any affair at all throughout my life, let alone it going bad. :) I am 23 years of age at present. The reason why i am saying i am not mentally prepared is because i am the youngest of 4 siblings. I have been pampered like anything throughout my life and maybe that is why i am pretty dependent on everyone to do everything for me. This may be the major reason why i am not mentally prepared to go for the marriage thing.
