Fellow women, do you feel like you have to accomplish xyz before marriage comes into the picture? How did you get over the self created pressure?

Marriage is not the end of it all. Married women here 😊 I have travelled as much as when I wasn't. Why would u put so much pressure on yourself. Do what you want time waits for no one.

My wife and I sometimes regrets not getting married earlier. Now it's like we spent most of our 20s without each other. Obviously there are responsibilities and complications, but traveling and stuff is much better after marriage.

My wife used to think the same but I changed her perception over time when we still travelled and showed my friends who still travel even after having kids also.

Same boat, same age, only I don't see myself getting married for at least another decade and don't intend to have children, so I really hope my life after marriage is good too

I'm in my early 30s, not married. I never had this checklist thingy. Now that I've not found the right person to be with, I'm starting to make plans. My point is you can accomplish things at any age. It doesn't always have to be associated with a certain milestone.

I want to achieve certain financial goals before getting married. I have a small education loan which I try to pay in lump sum apart from regular EMI to become debt free and I am investing most of my money.

Not a woman here but small suggestion is to enjoy your life to the fullest before having children. Then you will enjoy, but the whole feeding , sleeping and take care of phenomenon, even if you split the responsibility with a man, is simply....different. Then you wait till they turn 16 and can largely take care of themselves if you give very specific instructions and that you know the levels of all the alcohol bottles. At which point you're so tired of it all that you go to a happening place and then hate the loudness of the music, and damn I'm so buzzed after just one drink. So, yes, you're not being unfair to yourself. Be the wildest you can be for the longest you can before the biological clock fear strikes home.

I turned 26 last month and am getting married next month. As a fellow woman in a similar boat who has achieved some things of her list, I too sometimes feel I'm getting married early as I've not yet completed my self imposed checklist but at the same time I've also realised that it's best not to get married because you've reached an age.

Marry when it seems right, marry when you feel ready and marry the person who could add to your checklist and not take away from it.

I still have a list of things to accomplish and some of those are with my partner
