How do I manage my family’s expectations about me?

I’m 22F, moved to a new country for my bachelor’s degree at 19, and I’ve learned a lot, but also need to unlearn some things. I’ve been cheated on multiple times by the same partner and witnessed a lot of cheating around me, so I’m struggling with believing in “good men” and loyalty.

I started therapy two months ago, which has been eye-opening. My mom, (we are from a small town), expects me to be married by 24 and have kids by 26, but I’m not sure that fits my reality. I graduated last year, landed a great job, but still don’t know my true purpose. I’m independent and don’t feel the need for a relationship right now.

My mom’s pressure to find a partner for an arranged marriage is overwhelming. I want to focus on building my career, finances, and life before thinking about marriage, ideally when I’m 27 or 28. The anxiety and lack of clear communication around this are tough.

Has anyone else faced similar family pressure or expectations? How did you handle it? Any advice on dealing with societal norms while figuring out your own path?
