Why am I not interested in marriage and family-making?

I’m 26 and will turn 27 in a few months.

I find it really hard to connect with people, especially men. The men I’ve met often come across as having a "male ego," and I feel like I just can’t include them in my life. Maybe I’ve been unlucky, but I’ve always believed strongly that women should be independent and earn their own living.

I’ve met men who say they support women being independent, but their actions show otherwise. They admire women who agree to everything without speaking up, even if they’re uncomfortable. I’ve also seen women being mocked for contributing financially or working in the house. Some women can’t even ask their husbands directly for something—they have to involve someone else—and even then, they’re disrespected.

It hurts me deeply. I once dated a man whose best friend cheated on his wife with his late friend’s wife. He idolized this friend because he had power, even though what he did was wrong. When I called him out on it, his response was, “Just leave.”

Because of experiences like these, I feel the concept of marriage is flawed. Women are expected to compromise every single day, and it seems unfair.

I’m not sad or trying to boost my ego, but I know I will never get married. It’s just how I feel. I refuse to compromise on my self-respect.

I have 3 offers, HCL (19), PWC (20), and Deloitte (21). Which one should I join considering work-life balance as I have a 6-month-old kid to manage?

Deloitte works you harder than most companies. Working 12–14 hours a day is normal, and it's common to stay up until 3–4 am regularly. If you're willing to prioritize your career over your health and family, and want to push yourself to succeed, this is the place to be. However, recently, the work culture has gotten worse, and resignations have been increasing. Ten people from a project left in just five months. I recently resigned because of these issues.

You'll hear it from everyone in the organization, except your direct managers or project leaders. They only care about results. There are plenty of well-being subsidies and hybrid work policies, but you won’t have time to enjoy them. The well-being subsidy is meant to support your health, so you can use it for gym memberships or hobby-related reimbursements,...

My name is Abhiram Krishna. Read Also:- What are some amazing photos we see less often? (📌 This is my story ) I come from a poor family. My father works as a daily wage laborer. Since childhood, I’ve seen him working hard to support us. I realized early on that studying hard is the only way to change our situation. After completing my +2 in science, I didn’t join college because I knew it would be too expensive. Instead, I decided to prepare for defense and government exams. Many people from my locality have secured government jobs after finishing +2. I prepared for 1.5 years but failed in all my attempts. I then decided to join a coaching center, hoping it would improve my chances. The fee was ₹7500—not much for some, but for me, it meant taking up part-time jobs to pay. I managed to pay ₹5000. Then, the second wave of COVID-19 hit. The pandemic brought poverty to my home. My father, being a daily laborer, had no work during lockdowns. To make things worse, my family contracted the v...
