[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your worry?[/quote] OP: her getting tied down when she should be using these years to learn more about herself. And the possibility he strings her along if she wants to get married.[/quote] I'm surprised to hear that 20-somethings have this idealized goal of just "wanting to get married" anymore. The goal should be success, happiness, independence. If they happen to find someone and together they feel marriage is the right step for them, great. that's part of the journey. But I hope we're not still putting these stupid expectations on women anymore. I know I would never want a primary goal for my daughter to be "to get married." So old fashioned and antiquated. I have been married for 24 years with a 19 year old and 17 year old. I cannot imagine asking how I "cope" if one of them chooses to move in with a significant other after college. [/quote]
