I know a mid-20s bartender who is getting her teaching degree from the nearby college. She is shacked up with an older man who has a daughter from a previous marriage. She’s incredibly happy (although has a few issues with her boyfriend’s ex) and when folks ask her why she hasn’t married she says she’s happy now and doesn’t want to do anything to screw it up.
I see her point but I wonder if that will change once she gets into her 30s.
Happy. Not satisfied or wanting a deeper commitment but content in shallow water.
hmmm. shallow.
