It is a pity that everyone is entitled to an opinion regardless of how screwed it is.

Nonsense.

I can just imagine the pressure at 30. I'm still far from 30 but I'm already feeling a bit of pressure. Suddenly my mum, aunties and sisters want to know who I'm in a relationship with, why I dont invite my boyfriend over. Reminding me of how I have finished school and need to understand that career is not everything. *whew! I have now become a prayer topic for them. Only my father seems to be on my side although I understand that my mum is only looking out for me and I appreciate it.

Your mum and aunts are right, career isn't everything. If you intend to have a family one day, you would do well to be on the look out for the kind of man that you want rather than put them on hold for a career. As you age, it will get harder, not impossible, to find that dream man. As you age your value in the sexxual marketplace wanes because you won't look as 'angelic' and you would have 'history'. Every right-thinking man should be concerned about the 'history' of his bride. Etc etc.

I know you are right but its not like I'm too career oriented. I'm just focused on my career for now until the right person pops the question. I know my mum is only worried because when my sister was at my stage, her boyfriend now husband was already familiar with everyone. She just feels I'm in an unserious relationship because anyone who is serious about me should not be afraid of coming home. I just look at the whole situation and SMH. This whole drama started when I shouted God forbid at her request that I be married by next year ending.

Lol @ God forbid.

And your mum worrying is only natural, as you said, your sister had a different relationship-marriage trajectory. Just try to allay her fears. Truth is she'll be worried till you get married wink.

However, take care not to give in to pressure and make a wrong decision, choosing the wrong person.

Well I wasted my time dating an idiot wen I was 21yrs till 28yrs, met him wen he was in 100level waited for him till after service a year+ after he bcme somthing else n d r/ship crashed.......n eva. sinc ve not been fortunate to meet d right man
legry:
eeayhaa for the plight, but my question is this what happened to you when you were 25 or 26 with all those dudes or that guy around you, now am not trying to sound like an assole but this is just a comon trait that ive seen. Im in my 30"s and ive been around and i must state also that i met some girls in my 20"s that had all the opportunity to forge a solid and good relationship , but what did they do, the girl thing and now they are 30 and wondering what happened. My point girls in your 20"s make something out of the time you have now if you see a promising relationship hold on to it and if its not all you dream work on it dont keep thinkg you have all the time in the world cause i dont want you wondering what happened to you when you get to your 30"s.

Most times,the pressure comes from within.When you see your mates getting married in their 20s,you start asking yourself questions.Most times we set goals for ourselves and when we dont achieve it,it becomes so frustrating.I advise gals at 30 to remain focused and live their lives to the fullest.
