My ex girlfriend was knocking on 40 and absolutely deperate to get married
She'd never been married before and clearly thought it was the ultimate achievement. The ink was still drying on my divorce so there was no way on earth it was happening. I finished it and she was 'totally devastated' apparently. So devastated that she had her claws into someone else within a couple of months and is now apparently engaged to another one having been going out with him for just 10 weeks. A bullet dodged there I think.

ridiculous
but i suppose it depends on circumstances. if you own your own place, have it just as you like it, go out every night and have a good career/income, then there's less incentive to change that, i guess.

She has most of that. Good job, nice house/car all that jazz.
But her mother is a complete fruitcake and measures success by whether you have a ring on your finger. Her dad bless him is a lovely old guy but isn't allowed an opinion on anything and is just a complete fucking doormat.

First time I met them I had a glimpse into my potential future and thought 'no ta'.
