My mom often tells me to get married, but she gets it now that I don't want to. Like any other mom, she is worried, but she also understands the demands of my profession. I am blessed to have a family like this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to remain a bachelor from the beginning, but I got married thrice, and I don't know why I did it. I think it's not easy to live with me because of my impatience and busy schedules. Sometimes my mother is unhappy about a few decisions I have taken, but it is completely personal, and I don't want to make it public.
I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person.
Maybe it's because my mother divorced and my grandmother divorced, so maybe I'm frightened deep down. But then I also feel there is no real need. Why do I need to get married? To reassure me? No I don't need reassurance.
My parents have a wonderful marriage, but they have been together since my mother was 12, married when they were just teenagers and are barely ever separated. They even work together. As a result, I have always thought of marriage as involving the loss of a certain amount of autonomy.
My mother always told me, 'Don't get married. Make your own life. You don't need a man.'
My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.
I wanted to marry a girl just like my mom.
I was never the girl that grew up saying I want to get married. I actually told my parents to not expect me to get married.
My mother always said don't marry for money, divorce for money.
My mom said, 'Don't get married. You're too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.' And I did.
