Not Meant to Be?

Re: Not Meant to Be?

Hello all. I am really upset and any insight/helpful advice would be much appreciated.

I am 24 years old. I am a lawyer and working at a law firm. Throughout my years of law school my parents were adamant that the marriage issues for me only be considered upon completion as they did not want to burden me and wanted me to finish, get a job first etc. Which is totally fine. I have now turned 24 and still not married. I finished post grad studies mid last year. Any rishta which comes along..something always occurs and it does not work out. I.e.: Isthikara turns out not good, or the guy is not educated or still at uni, etc. I know i shouldn’t be but I am really depressed. I used to be extremely outgoing, bubbly, talkative and now I can’t even smile. I feel like a robot going to work each day and do everything in a similar manner.** Even my so-called best friend does not think i’ll ever get married.** She got married last year. The issue is not that there are no rishtas, there are but something always goes wrong. Does this mean i’ll never get married? my mother always dismisses my concerns and asks how I can be so silly after studying so much but that’s how I feel. My younger cousin recently got married (although that was a love marriage and no one was happy) and I feel like a bigger loser now. I want to stop feeling this way because I am constantly in tears over this. I feel old and loserish and I don’t want to anymore

I don’t think this person is worthy of that title.

More importantly though, I don’t think you should be too worried. Sab ka aik waqt hai aur uskay waqt pay hi baat banaygi. My aunt is 30+ and still not married and everyones worried about her. My mum got married at 20. I’m early 20’s and engaged to a girl whos elder sister is 28 and still no rishta for her. You’re only 24, your turn will come. Don’t let it bother you You’re much too young to be worried about this. Go out, have fun and resume smiling more often. People look nicer and prettier when they smile.
