Four years ago, I too had commitment issues. Social media had almost convinced me that family is just emotional baggage. I avoided serious talks with my girl, fearing she'd discuss the future of our relationship. Then I worked under an unmarried female manager in her mid-forties, a workaholic but deeply depressed. She was one of the most depressed human being I've ever seen; working with her was a nightmare because even after 11 hours of ass grinding she would ask us to do more work. In April 2024, she bought a house and invited everyone for the vastu puja and dinner. Besides colleagues and some random people, she had no one. Her parents were already dead, and she had no relationship with her brother who used to live in some another city. She stayed late at the office because she had no one at home. As you age, you need a partner. That woman changed my whole perspective, money and vacations are important but family is also important, you'd go crazy living alone.
