Any 35+ M here and who is going through this?

^That’s my parents’ new favorite question, like I can just slot it between investor meetings and product launches. And yeah, they’re not wrong. By the time I’m ready, I’ll need to have found someone. You can’t just fast-forward to a relationship; it takes time, energy, and mental space — things I don’t have right now. I get it. One day I’ll probably wonder why I didn’t start sooner. But right now, my focus is here: building this startup. It’s not a 9-5, it’s sleepless nights, constant pressure, and the highs and lows of creating something from scratch. Then there’s this fear — that I’m screwing up my future by not looking for someone now. That I’ll wake up at 35, alone, asking myself what happened. But forcing a relationship just because it’s “time”? That’s how people end up miserable. The truth is, most of us in our late 20s are in the same boat. Trying to build something meaningful while figuring out life. Some dive into relationships, others wait it out, and all of us hope we’re not making a mistake. So when my parents ask again, I’ll keep saying, “not yet.” - idk where this will land me, but I don't really know better!

What's a piece of advice you're glad you ignored?

I am 28 and have been single all my life. It was my decision to be single forever since when I was a child. I often have extreme urge call it -- tharak -- but 2 3 rounds of my hand and I am back on track. I never felt the need of any other person other gender to be their around me . I feel I am good alone and content. But lately parents are like sarcastically taunting that they won't be forever blah blah ... Basically saying me to marry but I have made clear to them and the most firm decision I have is not to marry ever. It's idiotic.. cuz why to marry ? S*x ? Thats it's right . So look at this way why to marry for the thing u can do without marrying and that too if u have some money then new dishes each month. This is when u want madly to have s*x else ur hand is self sufficient. Am I missing something? Anyone who is not married and is ok or anyone who is married and now regrets or anyone who is married and for it ?

I know I'm not the only one having to go through this. Let's speak our heart out.

I just hit 30 and it feels... different. Not bad, just not what I expected. My 20s were a whirlwind of possibilities, but now I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have it all figured out. How are your 30s different from your 20s? What changes - good or bad - caught you off guard?

Please share your wisdom to help the next generation to figure out life and stuff 😁.

To all those guys who have decided to stay unmarried for their whole life.... What's the reason ?????
