27F New Delhi I work in IT sector since past 5 years and earning well enough. I have been in a relationship since past 8 years (he is my college sweetheart) and i love him dearly. My family has known about our relationship since the start and have been very supportive. As i turned 26, the expectations for marriage from my family started but that is not what i wanted. I have never been the kind of person who was interested in getting married and have kids.. And my parents and boyfriend have known this on some level but chose to ignore it assuming that i would get past this phase. I have had fights regarding this with my mother that i dont want to get married and want to stay here only but that conversation has always resulted in tears or emotional blackmail. Now this year my boyfriend also told his family about us and the wedding preparations have started... We have booked the venue, bought gold, informed our relatives but each passing day has become a struggle for me. I tried convincing myself that this is good for my future but i dread the day and started having thoughts about ending my life. I am in pain and i love him dearly but i cannot go through with this marriage thing and i have asked him to give me time to rethink. I feel very helpless, i dont know what to do.

When it is right thing we should move forward...their parents also want him to get married and have children to start a family..you should check first and if he is not ready you should move backward. You just expressed, but you did take any consent from them...go forward and marry your best person and lead a happy life whatever are the reasons for taking such a decision of not marrying

Dude you need proper counselling. And at the end of counselling the result should be to go with the marriage and that too happily. This idea of not getting married and not having kids always regretted later . You can try talking to people who didn't marry and are in their late 40s or even in 40s

It’s great that you have this mental clarity before marriage. Many women suffer after. Pls leave and don’t ignore your gut feeling. If no one can listen to you for such important decision, this will happen in the future too for kids etc and then u will feel like a furniture being used not a human - pls walk out while u still can rather than be caged forever
