When All They Want Is Marriage, But All You Want Is to Take Care of Them 💭💔

It’s a painful kind of conflict — wanting to build a future, do something meaningful for yourself and your family, yet feeling misunderstood by the very people you love most. Many of us face this when our parents, out of love and fear, only focus on getting us married. They believe marriage is security, that someone else will take care of us when they no longer can. But what they don’t see is that all we truly want… is to take care of them.

It hurts to watch them grow older and weaker while all you want is to make their lives easier — to earn, to support them, to bring them comfort. But every time you talk about your dreams, they think you’re delaying marriage or being disobedient. They don’t see your intentions; they only see your hesitation. And yet, deep inside, your love for them is what drives every decision — you just want to give them the peace they gave you all your life.

Parents often come from a generation where marriage was the only form of stability. They fear loneliness, they fear leaving you alone when they’re gone. But times have changed — love can wait, marriage can wait, but their health and your dreams can’t. Wanting to stand on your own feet, to earn for them, to make them proud, isn’t rebellion — it’s responsibility. It’s love in action.

So keep being patient. Keep doing what’s right, even if they don’t understand it yet. One day, when they see you succeed and realize everything you did was for them, they’ll smile with pride and say, “You did it, my child.” ❤️✨
