I have taken on a part-time work in order to invest in my education despite my financial difficulties. This implies, though, that I can’t help my parents as much financially as I would like to.
My hopes of being happy have not been realized despite my attempts to make them proud by going for my degree and finally getting a better career. Rather, my parents are pushing me to think about getting married because they are worried about my future. This intensifies the pressure I already experience.
I’m at a loss for how to strike a balance between my goals and my family’s expectations. I would be very grateful for any counsel or direction you could provide me on this.
