He said I won't get married

My brother said my dad made a comment about me and he tried to backtrack. Eventually he said my dad said he doesn't think I will get married now. I was really shocked that he thinks I won't get married. I am 38 and not really met anyone for years due to the lockdown and I made some crap dating choices. I didn't have relationships or hook ups with these men but went to the wrong places by wasting time in these social circles. I'm not desperate to get married but just shocked he has no faith and think it's ok to talk behind my back. I really don't want to rush and meet the wrong person like a I did when I was younger as that was a bad relationship and wasted a lot of time. I am quite happy at present.

Maybe he just sees you as happy as you are? I'm not sure why you think it's about having "faith" in you.

Marriage isn’t the pinnacle success for a woman. Or a man. Maybe it wasn’t a criticism. I wonder how it came about? Why would your brother tell you that, does he have form for shit stirring?

Will you get married?

I wouldn’t waste any energy thinking about it. He’s not a fortune teller. Whether he has faith in you or not won’t affect whether you meet anyone

Ok?

Doesn't have to be a critiscism, but why your brother felt you needed to know ...

*criticism - ugh

The question you should be asking is, "Why is my brother such a twat?"

No faith that you will get married? Why do you need him to have faith in that, if you're happy as you are? He probably doesn't have much hope that you'll win the Turner Prize or run a marathon either, why does this matter to you?
