[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]right after college. I even got an abortion at 25 because I didn't want to interrupt my young career.

All for what? I make six figures, I'm unhappy and those [i]fun[/i] drunken weekends were fleeting.

Sorry, just venting. On the off chance any young women read this forum: Don't make the same mistake.[/quote]

I feel for you. That most certainly would have been my life if I hadn't of become the caretaker to a terminally ill parent in my mid twenties. It really put my outlook on the next ten, twenty, thirty years into perspective. I settled down with the loving and loyal boyfriend who supported me through that time period.  He makes an excellent partner in parenthood and life.

But, OP, since the grass is not always greener...
I don't think I would have chosen my partner if all of those unforeseen circumstances hadn't happened. Maybe I wouldn't have met anyone else in my twenties to settle down with, maybe I would have given myself more time before I got engaged and married. I often think about all this wisdom I now have going into my thirties and how unguided I was to make such permeant life decisions while being young and naive. I met him at 23, we began seriously dating at 24, engaged at 25 and married at 27. It didn't feel young at the time, but it feels young now. [/quote]
