Thoughts on marriage

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 🫂

Well I was passively looking till 28. Then got serious @29. Got a cold feet while talking to a girl and could not decide. My fault. Then I just joined a dutch startup and went out of India. Then covid happened and then got married. Well I feel I got ready when I talked to multiple girls .I don't know everyone is different. But that coldfeet was the moment I thought I am not ready

No pressure if you wanna avoid without saying no. Just ask them to look for a girl who works in the same city as you and has no plans of quitting work after marriage.
I'm 27, too. Technically, I didn't say no, but I know it's not possible to find the lady anytime soon 😂
