I’m 27 years old, and I work a regular 9–5 job. I currently live with my uncle and his wife. Growing up, I always imagined that by now, I’d be married—or at least have someone in my life. I thought I’d be the one introducing my man to the family on my own terms, without being pressured. But things didn’t turn out that way. Right now, I don’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a fiancé. It’s really hard for me to join conversations that involve marriage or relationships because I feel sad and embarrassed when my family asks about when I’ll bring someone home.
The truth is, I don’t have anyone. My uncle wants to have a talk with me this weekend, and I already know it’s about marriage because his wife has hinted at it. Honestly, I don’t know what to say or how to explain to him that I’m still single. I feel so bad about it because I never expected this to be my reality at this point in my life. I know I’m beautiful, so it’s hard not to question if something is wrong. Please, I’ll be in the comment section—what should I say to my uncle when he brings it up?
