Marriage thoughts.

Lately i have been having worries about marriage because it is a big thing where i live. Both culturally and religion wise it is recommended to marry. My family thankfully does not pressure me about this but my friend who comes from a traditional family does. And i have worries about getting old and sick when my parents pass away.

Being autistic and having anxiety and ocd i have many worries about this. I started to feel like a bad person because of this like i am not religious enough


Since i cannot tell my friend about my ocd/autism/anxiety i bottle it all up. I researched on the İnternet a bit and there is not much resource on autistic people's marriage from a religious perspective. But i have read a lot of posts from people who unknowingly married an autistic person and became like a caretaker for them. This is very scary and upsetting for me. Since this is what happened with my father and mother as well.

I have lots of worries that i cannot tell anyone about and once someone tells me why did you not marry/ have a relationship i became so upset and angry. Because i am forced to endure all these feelings and keep silent. And my worries get bigger.

I don't want a marriage like my parents. I have a good relationship with them now but it was not always so. Only i know what i went through and i will never ever want a child like me to Come into this world. To think that child would blame me for giving birth to the, like i blamed my parents so long ago is horrifying.

I want to scream all this to the people's faces when they talk to me about marriage. You dont live in my world and you will never understand
