World Issue Serious Future Plan

listening to: From this moment by Shania Twain
mood: unidentified
We were just talking about marriage the other days. Imagine this scenario of five girls standing in a circle and discussing about
world issue future plans in the middle of the corridor while waiting for the next class.
(Sorry, I can’t remember exactly how we started the
world issue future plans, and the content of the entire conversation was vague to me now but it was something as below)
Friend A, who always asks thought-provoking questions, asks
how old do you think you’ll get married?
Friend B, who is a feminist, answers
I don’t think I will ever get married but I totally agree on living together without thinking about getting married.
Friend C, who thinks pregnant ladies are beautiful, answers
I think I will just have a baby on my own. Guys are just too hard to depend on.
Friend D, who is always trendy and currently has a steady boyfriend, says
I really want to get married soon. It’s in one of my must-do list. Hopefully it’ll be as soon as possible. (She says with smiles)
Friend A: You mean right after your graduation? What about your career?
Friend D: I do care about my career but maybe I’ll care about it for a few years then I will get married. No matter what, I must/will/want to get married.
At that moment, I kept mum. My opinion is some what the same as
Friend D. I really do want to get married as I think it completes one’s life. Of course, I don’t put it in my must-do list because I know relationship or marriage is not something which I want or work hard, and I’ll get it.
Baby suddenly came and joined the
world issue future plans discussion and almost immediately,
Friend A (who I think she has a crush on Baby all this while) asked how old he planned to get married. He answered maybe around 30 years old. At that point, I was like “what?! I will be almost 30 too!” then I realized that the current relationship I have with him, is not as casual as I thought. I am serious about him. Serious until I have actually thought of spending the rest of my life with him.
This is something which he doesn’t know and I don’t think I’ll ever let him know. We are only in our early twenties and I really don’t want to expect much from him especially knowing his past. He doesn’t have this so-called clean record in dating but I always think everyone makes mistake and everyone has a past which he/she won’t be proud of.
We have talked about this, too. He told me that he always has this problem in commitment. He told me that he’s aware and afraid of this commitment issue will arise again.
Well, I’ll see how everything goes…But the wedding bells are definitely not ringing now...
