I don’t wont to marry how to I tell my parents they will not listen?

Answer 1

It's easy to tell you to just tell them no and that they can't force you to do something that you don't want to do BUT depending on your background and how you were raised that may not be an option UNLESS you are gay.

A friend of mine had to marry if she ever wanted to move out of her parents home. Her father is arabic and her mother is greek. She explained that it is how things are done in her culture as well as her family. She explained that her brother was allowed to date and/or marry whomever he chose but she and her sister had to marry someone their parents chose. The girls were hoping that their parents die before they would have to marry. However, my friend did fall in love with the man that her parents chose for her but her sister is holding out for her parent's death. That is so sad.

So if your parents won't listen to you then maybe you should take a page from their book.....don't listen when they talk of marriage to you or simply refuse. I guess that would work for a while.

Eventually you will find a way to make them hear you and you will understand their reasons for wanting you to marry. Good luck

Answer 2

Explain to your parents in a quiet time when there is not screaming and fighting - maybe at the dinner table that at this time and at your age you dont want to get married. Explain that you would rather concentrate on your studies etc and that you appreciate that they want someone in your life. tell them that you love them and that you understand but ppoint out taht women and men these days are not getting married until they are 28 to 35 and that marrying early these days is not realy done much.

How you parents take this is up to them but please remember you are not responsible for their actions and fealings. You have not specified the details - is it cultureal or have you got a long term boyfriend they have automatically assumed you are going to marry, either way it is your lifeand your choice.

Answer 3

That's YOUR decision. Marriage is a big thing and if someone's not ready for it or uninterested in it then they should respect their decision. Don't marry if you don't want to. Even though your parents may always nag at you about it I'd rather have a little bit of nagging rather than spending the rest of my life in Miserable Ville cause I made a big mistake by marrying someone that I didn't want to.

Answer 4

is it your religious/culture? if your parents don't want to listen to you move away from them write them a letter explaining how you feel and when they respect your wishes stay in contact with them more. if it is your religion then tell them you don't want to marry until you are older tell them you wont to explore live before getting tied down.

Answer 5

First you dont tell us your age which would be helpful fora good answer.
However, What makes you think that you have to tell your parents of your wishes.
If you are of age (to legally marry) they have no say in the matter at all.
This is your choice not theirs. parents to manny times try to run their childrens lives forever and forget to untie the apron strings.
If you are of the right age, foget worrying about them. They would have no say in the matter.
Why woirry about it yet (your choice) perhaps latter in life you might desire to marry.

Answer 6

First are you a guy or a girl???
If you are a girl they want security for you. Are you pretty?? if not ,maybe they are trying early on to secure you a husband.
If you are a man then you are just afraid of women... wait til you are more mature or you will have a unhappy marriage as you are still a baby.

Answer 7

i cant imagine parents forcing their kids to marry against their will
its just very wrong
if they really love you they should understand your point of view
or if they really succeed then get married and move as far away as possible from them and never see them again
that should teach them a lesson

Answer 8

Just tell them that you dont have any interest in getting married.

Im not getting married. I just get in relationships for the sex!

Answer 9

"Mom, Dad, I do not want to marry. I mean it. I will not cooperate with any plans you make in this regard."

If all else fails, when the priest asks if you take Mortimer to be your lawful, wedded husband, say "no thank you. No offense, Mort."

Good luck.
