I'm next in line...

My cousin is getting married today.

She's 30 years old, and it's gonna be the event of the year in our family, because her fox are really rich, and getting married is something she dreamt of doing for as long as I remember her.

We are really close, she's like the older sister I never had, and I'm really excited for her. but. putting all that aside for a moment, I really dread this event for one big reason -

I'n next in line....

I'm going to be 28 on the 28th of august. beside me there are 4 more cousins (younger than me, my brother is one of them ) that are not married yet. So, I'm next in line to get married, and now everyone will be expecting me to settle down...

After all, like all my aunts say: "I'm almost 28, and that is only natural"

The problem is, that I don't believe in the institute of marriage (since every other couple in Israel is getting a divorce ), not to mention the fact that I still feel like a child, and the idea of commitment to one person for the rest of my life is terrifying

You guys don't know what it's like being Jewish and being born into a family with an "Yiddish" state of mind

It's like constantly being under the steamroller !! Arrrrgh....

How can you explain to all of them, that I don't want to say goodbye to my life as a bachelor yet ?

That's a very hard question to answer Nadav, after all, I'm not jew, but I'll try to give you an answer. I think you have a right to decide what to do with your life, to look for your happiness by yourself, no matter what others think, even your own family and the jew society. I also think that you should settle down when you're ready. But that's the opinion of a Mexican young man with very liberal ideas, at the end it's your call, not your family's, not society's.

Well, although it poses tough questions and family difficulties, there's only ever really one true answer, and that's the choice you'll make.

I agree with Shana, your call is the only thing that matters in the end.

If, or when you find the right person, you'll know what to do - in the meantime, enjoy your freedom!! As you cousin waited until she was 30, presumably its because she has now found the right person, so you can explain that you are doing likewise to your family!
Tough one though!!!

Don't feel bad. I'm 30 years old and I have no intention of finding a man so I can "settle down" and have kids. Don't get me wrong, I happen to like kids, what I like most about them is their RETURN POLCIY!
