Wagwan, family. My mum has been praying every day since I can remember for her children to get married soon to good spouses, which I’m grateful for, but it has gotten to the point where she’s now telling me directly that if I don’t get married next year, I’ll have to tell her what’s wrong with me. I’m 26, by the way, and just graduated. I’m not even dating anyone at the moment. I have guys asking me out, but none seem serious, and the ones I like only want friends with benefits.
I’m one of those few girls who still believes that not every guy cheats, and I won’t lower my standards because of recent norms. I feel I should have my own money before settling down, but my mum’s pressure is really getting to me. The only way to avoid this is to move out, but I can’t afford that yet. How do I avoid this talk?
