I get alot of sweat on my face during the summers. (It’s purely genetic btw my mom has the same problem) I can’t really afford high end products like the O/S spray. Please recommend affordable products that I can easily buy and that would help my makeup last longer.

I am a 23 (F) and I got married only 6 months ago. It was a purely arranged marriage. I am Pakistani and it’s pretty common here. I didn’t have a problem with it as I didn’t like anybody and was open to having meet-ups to decide a life partner. In my 3rd year of university, my parents had a conversation with me about this guy (my husband who is 24 now). They really liked him and wanted me to meet him to decide if I did too. tbh this convo was very sudden and caught me off guard. I wasn’t fully ready to go forward with anything at that moment as I was still in the middle of my studies, which I was and still am really passionate about.
Either way because of everyone’s persistence, I gave into them and agreed to a meetup. The meeting was nice. Everything went well. and I had no problems with the guy. However, as a 21 year old, I had my fare share of doubts, as people, specifically men, are not always trustworthy. And you never really know how a person is. Doesn’t help the fact that I was quite stressed about my university and I was going into my final year; thesis year.
It took me a long time to say yes, but eventually I did as I had cleared my mind about this guy after talking to him. It was all still very much abrupt for me and things were starting to pile up. Thesis year for me was very tough. I also had to completely change my topic half way through the year and I was devastated. I came around to changing it, but it still caused me a lot of problems and stress as my whole academic life depended on this one project.
While my family was preparing for my wedding which was set immediately after my thesis project final exams, I was absolutely losing it. I didn’t have a moment to breath And my mental health was at an all time low. Mind you, in South Asian cultures, mental health is considered “stupid” “useless” and “not real”. The times I have been visibly frustrated and sad, my family has consistently said to me to “drop the act” or “stop acting”. SO obviously I couldn’t talk to them about anything.
Fast forward to today, it’s been 6 months of my marriage and my husband is a lovely man. He’s always been very kind and supportive in every aspect of my life. The problem lies with my family who are now subtly pressuring me into having a baby.
My health hasnt always been good. I have had low iron and ferritin for 4 years now. My husband also has some health problems related to blood sugar levels. I am getting better and actively trying to fix my and my husbands health before trying for a baby. I also want to rest a little after such an insane 1.5 years before I get myself into motherhood.
My family doesn’t outrightly say we should have a baby, but they do say it indirectly. At least they imply it. When I brought up my issue and said we will take our time to get better health and then we will see, they lashed out on me and said “you have no problems” “your health is perfectly fine” and that I am being very weird and stupid. My family doesn’t really see things from my perspective ever and we always clash on moments. Because they always take things I say negatively. I never said I don’t want baby at all. Just said I want to focus on my health.
Why do I not have the right and decision power to just take care of myself before I go ahead and get pregnant? Is it wrong to do that? Isn’t it my decision for when I have a baby? AITA?
