I'm 21, in university, a student, and honestly, I hate the whole concept of marriage. I mean, I've never understood why I'm expected to build my entire life around a man. I feel like I can do life on my own. I can get my degree, get a job, make my own money, take care of myself and live happily without ever needing a man. If ever I get lonely, I could adopt a cat or even a child I don't know.
So yes, I've turned down plenty of marriage proposals. But then, my best friend's brother saw me.
And for some reason, this man decided I was the woman he wanted to marry as if I'm the only one left in the world. He's an army officer, so you'd think he would understand what no means. But apparently, he doesn't.
I told my best friend I wasn't interested. She told him. He still kept trying to reach me, so I blocked him everywhere. But instead of taking the hint and moving on with his life, he did something completely insane. The man travelled all the way to my city to my parents' house to ask for my hand in marriage.
And as annoying and backward as my father is, he agreed because he already wanted me married before I got into uni, but I didn't accept. Now I'm being forced into a marriage I never want, and every time I try to fight it, I'm told that I need to prove I'm a woman by getting married, especially in this generation of gays and trans people. According to them, marriage is supposed to prove that I'm a proper woman.
But all I know is that I hate this man. I hate him for refusing to take no for an answer and going behind me and involving my parents.
