[quote=Anonymous]Not sure what's up with all the "you're so naive" posts - at 24, I was just about done with my masters degree, talking marriage with my husband to be, and had racked up enough internships and work experience in my field to have multiple job offers upon graduation. I also had been paying my own rent, groceries, and life expenses for 2 years.

I think OP knows exactly what she's doing and my other 24 year old friends who didn't jump right into working, aren't that interested in marriage & kids -  instead choosing to cruise along off mom & dad, would have jumped at a situation like OP describes.

When I was 20, I met a guy in his 30s who at first seemed like a good match. Perhaps, I was naive to think there was potential but we had great conversations, similar interests, etc. But it soon became clear he wasn't going to commit, and he was trying to buy me off with things as his finances allowed, so I moved on. I wanted marriage & kids and the fact that he didn't is exactly why he was going after a woman not even yet out of college. I say that just to say, I get how OP could have met her boyfriend and how given what she's interested in, it's an appealing set up. That doesn't make her naive - she knows exactly where she stands and she's chosen to stand there. [/quote]
