Since my mother is unable to do so, my sister is telling me I need to get married before I get old.

My brother is 43 and has never been married.

After years and years of telling him that he should get married soon, my sister and I decided to stop when he turned 40 for two reasons:

1) He was a grown man himself, able to make his own decisions, and,

2) My sister and I were ourselves married in our early 30s and realized that after having kids and going through problems/issues pertaining to paying the bills, the house, etc. that married life is not what society and the glossy magazines tell you that it’s going to be. The harsh reality is that marriage is tough, every day.

He’s better off living with a gal (which he is), and they’re happy and healthy. Neither one wants kids.
