well now, in response to goMetric's comments (see today's earlier entry)
#1 easily incorporates into my theory though it does make it more complicated...and I wouldn't want to add that onto my personal flowchart
as for #2...those happy committed people, well...there are exceptions to every rule...hence my "in general" statement...my parents I guess fall into this category...it's frustrating
momma's been giving me that look lately...the "why aren't you married yet" look...
I don't like that look. It will be worse when I tell her that Leslie is engaged and at least one other friend is due to be engaged...
heck...by this age my mom already been married for nearly three years, had me and my older sister, and had owned two houses...in another 18 months she'd be having baby number 3...egads
that's just depressing, grad school sometimes seems so useless in comparison to enlarging the human population and leaving behind wee little baby Kelly's...

For God's sakes, do NOT rush marriage! I'm on my second divorce now, so make DAMN WELL SURE of yourself before you ever take the leap, regardless of what your parents think! It would be HELL to rush into something, just because you felt that "pressure" to. YUCK!
agreed...
not really wanting to get married so much as feeling left out of the marriage game? does that make sense?
it's hard to be the one on the outside sometimes
and egads, the babies urge only lasts long enough to hold my niece and go: "awww, isn't she cute? coochie, cooc -ewww...she shit her pants..."
Yeah, I know what you mean. I've got friends who are already planning their marriages. But for me, I can't even begin to think of marriage at this point in my life because i feel that I'm simply not ready. There's nothing wrong with waiting until you feel comfortable enough to take the leap. Marriage is a fairly large serious commitment and should not be rushed like a quicky in the backseat of uncle george's Ford Taurus during the 7th inning stretch at a Yankee game. The fact that i know so many people who want to settle down makes me feel like the odd man out and it also makes me feel kinda well, old.
i gotta tell you, it's hard to be the married friend too. most of my friends are single so suddenly i'm the odd one out. i shouldn't feel guilty for being happily married, but sometimes i *do* and i know that if i said that to my single friends, they'd tell me to knock it off. endless loop. blech. nobody likes being the odd man out.
