Been stressed out about this to the point I had to do extensive research before I meet this dude from my ethnic country

So since my mum introduced me to a guy that recently migrated from our ethnic country (he’s of Chinese-Cambodian descent but was born and raised in Cambodia) here in Australia to come and study, that she wants me to be with for the rest of my life (well she wants me to have a partner and not be single and is very much forcing me to have a partner).

I’m also of Chinese-Cambodian descent but I was born and raised here and since I can’t stop thinking and be stressed/upset over this whole thing, I did do a lot of research regarding if the current generation (my generation - Gen Z) in Cambodia is considering on having kids, but the thing is I can’t seem to find any info regarding that, not even on reddit. And since I definitely do NOT want kids and am 100% certain about it, I had to spend a lot of my free time doing research on that on all the related topics and going through the comments coming from the Cambodian redditors (since a lot of them in my generation are fluent in English) as I’ve been stressed about this non stop.

Wasnt until yesterday evening that I looked up some videos and some info (including reddit posts) regarding if the Gen Z’s from other South East Asian countries (like the Philippines) are considering on having children, and from the answers I’ve seen - I see that a good amount of them are becoming more open minded about the difficulties of having kids, considering how they all grew up in a country that’s really family-oriented.

And good thing my mum accepts the fact that I don’t want kids.

But what I’m really worried and concerned about is whether the guy from Cambodia (that I’ll have to unfortunately meet or whatever) thinks otherwise. But if he accepts my decision of having no kids though, that’s great - but then if he tells his parents when they ask him about it, what if they were to tell him that I need to have kids after he tells them no, and then he passes the message onto me?? That’s the part I’m really worried and scared about.

Also it really frustrates me how every married women in Cambodia (including the ones in my extended family) seem to be having kids, and never considering on having NO kids after they got married. (Well, those ones in my extended family are mainly millennials)😑

I know that I’m better off being with someone who was born and raised here, but the thing is my mum knows that I don’t have any friends that I can connect with on a day to day basis, especially long term. Plus, her and my dad don’t have any connections with any other Cambodians that live here in Melbourne, which is why my mum wanted my aunty to find a guy in Cambodia that they wanna introduce me to (for gods sake..😑😑😑) since….my mum is only connected to her family there and my aunty (and uncle too possibly) also has connections with other people in their jobs I would assume. I also did join one of the Cambodian social clubs that my university has since last year, but when I attended to their welcome party event - I had a 50-50 experience there and I didn’t (and still dont) plan on attending any of their upcoming events because of….well, my inability to make connections with people and everyone pretty much ignoring my existence (except for one girl cause she’s the only one that came up to me several times whenever I’m alone)?

Plus, the guy is my age so he should at least be more accepting and aware of it especially since he lived in the urban areas/city back in that country.
