northeastern Ohio | We just had our 35th class reunion. I had classmates that married young, some that waited, and some that never did marry. There may be trends in each category, but there certainly is nothing set in stone.
One couple actually got married in high school after she got pregnant. They are still happily married today. No kids living with them.
Some other high school sweethearts also still happily married.
Others didn't fare as well. I know one that had to move back to parents with kids included. She eventually married a nice guy and he moved in too. One big happy family. Generation 1 now retired, generation 2 are both working and generation 3 went to college. Generation 1 is going to give house to Gen 2 and move to Arizona.
Then there are the unmarried women. Never had kids, but have a good career, friends, family. Still dating, hoping to find the right guy. They seem happy.
There were a few classmates mooching off of parents, living with them. Divorced, lost their job, drank too much,,, not necessarily in that order.
And we have lost a bunch of classmates. Some died of natural causes, some suicide, accidents, drugs.... Sad.
My advise: keep looking. There are good people out there. They are hard to find because they have a job they love, family they love. They don't need someone, so they are not out there actively looking anymore. But they are available if the right person takes the time to say hi, how are you, want to go do something fun this weekend? Good luck! | |
