It’s a sign that someone needs to find a new hobby

Should have refused to let others decide your life for you.

From the other comment,it sounds like it’s working out, just not for the Dad.

I used to think it was really creepy and archaic, but an Indian friend of mine says that it was a real load off of her shoulders to just leave it up to her parents to put the work in, and she says she’s happy with the man they found for her. Still wouldn’t be for me, but I at least now see it as an acceptable option for people who want it. I doubt it’s a fun topic of discussion when the kid doesn’t want it but the parents do, but that’s not unlike already existing contested topics like career choice and grandkids.

So kind of lazyness/complacency regarding obligations pressured by others. They’re basically describing solutions to a problem they shouldn’t have in the first place. Still seems shitty.

So a tolerable roommate you have to have sex with occasionally?

It’s not always up to them, pal

Of course it is, that is part of becoming an adult, you get to say “no” to other people

How exactly did your dad “arrange” your marriage? Sounds illegal.

This sounds less like a classical arranged marriage and more like parents introducing their kids to each other.

It’s still fairly common in many different cultures and parts of the world to have an arranged marriage. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arranged_marriage
