23M want to marry my 22F girlfriend but my family is against marriage.

r/

My parents are not really i big fan of me getting married, and ive been that way for a very long time so even my friends think i feel the same, i still dont care much about marriage but its a big deal for my girlfriend so im gonna do it for her and i really wanna marry my girlfriend in 2-3 years im a 23M. I know its sounds dumb but its a big deal for me. Im a vet student and im in the last year so i dont have that much of an income right now to be completely independent ( although i havent got money from my family for a long time) So im just worried if i tell my parents that in 2-3 years they are not gonna be supporting and were gonna have some problems and it makes me stressed

TL;DR: i wanna get married but my parents are against marriage.

    You’re an adult. You do not need your parents validation to make a decision you want to make. They cannot exert any control on what you do, and if they do, id consider setting that firm boundary, and if they can’t respect that, dont associate with them. They raised you to live YOUR life. Not theirs.

    You’re an adult and you can do what you want. If you wanna marry your gf then do it 🤷‍♀️

    Your parents are against marriage? Or they’re against this marriage?

    Regardless, you are an adult and don’t need their permission.  But you will have to be prepared for the fallout and how you want to handle that.

    “I still don’t care much about marriage but it’s a big deal for her so I’m gonna do it for her”.

    This sentence alone tells me that you are about to make a big mistake, son.

    I’m 43. I’ve had quite a few family and friends get married before 25 years old. Not a single one of them is still married. The odds are stacked against you. My advice is to wait as long as possible before you get married.
