Question - (29 July 2018) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 August 2018)
A female India age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I am from India. Female aged 23 and financially stable. I was in relationship with a guy for 6 years . He broke up all of sudden last year . He didn't give me closure or any upfront reason. It was painful and I had no choice but to move on. I won't say it does not matter anymore

It stills hurt when something pops up in mind . I made friends and starting going out then learnt a new sport. Life kept going .So now coming to the real problem my parents never knew about my past . They are looking for a suitable match through arranged marriage setup. I seriously lost faith in Marriage. Even before meeting him I wanted to join army or start NGOs for kids. Now after this heartbreak I seriously don't wanna marry. Please tell me what to do and how to convince my parents

Could you move far away from them? You work you make good money so you must be educated.Immagrate to another country?In alot of other places you would have a better life.You could have equal rights which would mean that you choose who and when you get married.It also means you would be equal to men You would get paid the same as a man and have all the rights that come with that.You deserve to be your own person.You would not have to convince your parents of anything if you lived somewhere where you had equal rights.You could live life on your terms and never have to answer to any man.Consider being free.It is a reality in alot of other places.

Youcannotbeserious agony auntCould you tell your parents your plans and dreams? Could you tell them you are not ready yet to get married and settle down?

Perhaps you could ask for x number of years to "do your own thing", then promise you will sit down with them and discuss the matter again?
