Getting Married, One Way or Another
I've known several people in my life who were in serious relationships, like everyone assumed he or she is going to marry that person he or she is with. But maybe we were in college, and one or both of the parties were young yet, and then in time, perhaps the relationship ends altogether.
Then, after ending the years + relationship they had with Y person, you turn around and short time later and find out. . .he or she is engaged? To whom? It's not a good sign when someone announces their engagement and some people on the fray are far enough behind in their information (meaning a matter of months) to think internally, "To whom are they getting married? I didn't know they were dating someone new. Last I heard, they broke up with Y."
Some people just get to an age or a time in their life where they're getting married, one way or another, and it doesn't matter so much to whom. So they just move on the next person, and get engaged way quick. I think that's fucked up. But who the hell am I?
