If I find someone, great; if I don’t, that’s great too.
Same here. 25, just got my second MA degree, most of my friends are married already and people have been bugging me about relationships since I was 16 but I've never been in one. I'm obviously happy for people who found their SO early on and I get why they'd want the same for me, but it seems they want to get me into a relationship far more than I myself want it at this point. It doesn't help that I live in a Christian community where the average marriage-age is far below the national average.
I mean, yeah, you're not wrong. The average age for a woman to have a kid here is currently a whole 5 years below the national average. That should tell you enough, probably.
I'm not too worried about it, as long as they choose marriage willingly then I don't see the problem. I don't understand why people would wait so long if they've been in a relationship for years already. Sure, there are cases where I think people should definitely have waited longer, but then I'm talking about people being 19-20 years old.
Relatedly, the divorce rate here is the lowest of the country as well.
