Simply because someone appears ideal on paper does not imply they should be part of your future.

If your family attempted to pair you with someone they believed was perfect for all reasons, but you had insights about this person that they were unaware of, what actions would you take?

Would you kindly remain silent and consider the possibility?

Or might you remain silent to avoid letting down those nearest to your heart?

In the following story , a young woman finds herself in this exact situation and is unsure what to do.

Here’s what’s going on.

Why did AITAH reject his proposal upon learning the truth?

I'm a 19-year-old studying overseas and I haven't visited my family in some time.

I am a five-hour drive distant and return to my homeland solely during extended breaks from university.

A couple of weeks back, my younger sister (15 years old) contacted me in a panic. She mentioned that our mom was planning to set me up with a boy around my age who appears very sweet and pleasant.

Just so you know, marrying at a young age has always been customary in my family, yet I had no intention of adhering to this custom and made sure to express my views openly.

Even though I saw that my mom felt a bit uneasy when I brought up the topic with her.

The person she introduced me to (20m) is in his third year at college and will be graduating the following year.

Based on what my sister told me, he is training to be a pilot, which explains why she introduced us.

It turned out she recognized the man.

I requested to see his photo, and let me tell you, it's a person I went to high school with.

In my high school class, there was this one guy whom I always recognized as the type who would cheat during tests and play around with different girls.

It turns out that for all that time, his intention was "to make me jealous," however, it didn't succeed.

Luckily for me, I know a friend of a friend who is really close to him and can expose him in seconds.

I don’t want to marry this guy, even if he has a ton of money, even if he’s a pilot or whatever, and at the same time, I don’t want to let my own mother down.

AITA?

Yikes! That was quite a twist.

Let’s see what the people over at Reddit have to say about it.

Here’s an interesting point.

Great advice.

This person also has a great point.

As this individual mentions, she’s just 19 years old!

It's perfectly fine to say no.

Instead of getting married to please her mother, she should focus on standing up for herself and finding joy.
