Q: My parents are pressurising me to get married. I am 29 years old. I am a female and I am the oldest child in my family. My parents criticise me all the time. I feel like my life is over. Please help me.
A:Marriage is a transition that happens in lives of most people, and anxiety before it is natural. It is a very important life event, and one needs to approach it very carefully and with full motivation and clarity. You need to decide for yourself how you want to move on in life.
