The Rush
So, I just got the "lecture" from my grandmother on how I'm not getting any younger (27, atm) and have no girlfriend/fiancee/wife and kids to show for it. I'm taking her speech pretty lightly as I want to handle that part of my life on my own terms, but it's still rather annoying how I need to conform to how she sees relationships. She apparently believes its as easy as marrying the first woman I see.
I'm not in a rush for kids. Heck no. I still want to enjoy myself (and whatever partner I may encounter) for a while first. Plus, i'm not exactly dating material, having been described as purely marriage material by several women. So, there's no way I can rush into a relationship and get married, etc, etc just to satiate my grandmother, although sometimes i wish it were that simple.
Has anyone else been victim to this sort of speech? If so, how did you deal with it?
