Be unmarried 💁‍♀️ 
  
 What kind of question is that? 
 Why do you sound like my mom saying "to phir karna kya hai"?

My bad! Should have asked what do you intend to do for companionship and growing old 🤔

Software Engineer

Marriage doesn't guarantee these. They could die off next day, and you are back to square one. 
  
 Plus, I'll grow old either way. Might as well have lesser stress

Consultant

Adopt a kid. Career focus. living with parents.

Want to raise a kid but don't want to marry ? I mean why ?

Machine Learning Engineer

It's probably about having a legacy. 
  Like Batman has Robin to beat people up once he is gone, you can have a kid to troll the retards on the internet once you are gone.

Make lots of friends and be close to your family members . If you don’t have either of them , it’s going to be very difficult . And have atleast one passion that can keep you away from thoughts of marriage

Product Manager

Be unmarried. Live my life my own way. Nothing better than this to be honest

Software Developer

I'm married but If I wasn't, I'd focus on my career, get a nice home, start farming and keep a pet.... ☺️

What is your plan B if you do not intend to marry?

Plan B?

Plan B?- Grapevine

What if you lose your job tomorrow and are not able to get another offer? 
What is your back up plan? Do you have an alternate income source or any idea?

Looking for guidance

What is your back up plan

Sharing the context for this question - 
Indian society does not accept (easily), and it may pressure families with only ONE SON (single child or one among sisters) , because he bears the onus of continuing the lineage.

Are there any couples (or you know of someone), who chose to be different?

P.S. The question is only for serious DINK couples who are not considering kids. 
You are not DINK, if you "may plan in the future" or "let's see how it goes"

Ques to DINK couple/husband - Are you the only SON (single child or sisters) in family?

This question is for folks who have married early or have friends who have gotten married in their early 20s. What are your thoughts on this front?

Thoughts on marrying early, at say 25

Anybody here who's in their late 20's and family is pressuring them to get married but you're not mentally ready for the responsibility because maybe first you want to achieve something or be in a better place mentally or financially.

For Indian families marriage is just a checkpoint on their long list of responsibilities like science in school, btech in college, gov vs pvt job and stuff. 

I guess marriage is much more than just a wedding. If you're not mentally ready to have a partner reasons could be multiple like maybe you want to achieve something before tying knot or maybe you want to be at a better place mentally or monetary.

Honestly i dont know how to frame this question 
I just need to know the perspectives of married as well unmarried people or maybe any advice. 

I'm 27 btw 🫂

Thoughts on marriage

How would you live your life if you don't have any family/social responsibilities?

by Immigrating to a new country and starting a new life. Sick of this scarcity, struggle for every single fucking thing from getting a entry in local train, then slogging at work like donkey and then realising some MBA asshole will dictate your careers, then you think of becoming that asshole by getting masters but again fucking competition there, then wondering why the fuck am I paying taxes on your commute back to home in packed local train like a cockroaches, then struggle to get quality food, quality water and quality air, then again struggle to go to sleep and the Final struggle to wake up 
  
 But being the only child of my family and being their retirement fund is binding me here.  
  
 Sure other developed countries also have a competition but not to the extent of India.

90's kid and still single?

“You should get married on time”

To the married folks, would it be different if you would have married later in life? From a personal or objective POV, what’s your take

32+ M here and not yet married.

“SHAADI waqt se ho jaana chahiye”

Got married at  26.  If i get  a time machine, will do it by 24.    There is a quote by ashneer, where he says, 30's are the most important time is building one's career and setting the foundation to make money. Distractions from family life/kids will kill both the careers and family. I think he made perfect sense.  

I think the older one gets, its difficult to have compatibility.  Too many external stimulus corrupts our view of the society. And more over everything has a purpose and we all come with a shelf life.  If chances of starting a family  is slim or nil, whats the point in getting married? one is better of single.

It is not the usual society rule, but I have had this longing of own house.

Childhood was spent I  government house, adjusting with members of family.

Now I am earning fine, will have 20% of loan in liquid cash by end of year.

But I also have practicality now. No fancy house are spared in these rains, there are so many repairs - one thing is repaired, second one goes down then third then fourth, bigger the house more you have to clean - wtf is this dist coming from, then you have asshole neighbours. And be scared what if there's a fire, robbery, calamity.

I had just one dream, but really rethinking the whole plan now.
So lost to be honest.

My one dream is own house, now reconsidering

- Let’s create a safe space
- Mention *minimal* information such as you age, gender, etc to add context about you
- Trolls be empathetic and think before you comment to someone.

What are you innermost thoughts and emotions you don’t share with family and friends as they wouldn’t understand?
