Just the opposite right now. It may sound selfish but as much as I love my boyfriend I just don't yet feel like getting married or having anybody else to deal with but myself. I always wanted my own place with all of my preferences and nobody else's input. I wanted to be successful and support myself, yet never be alone. I told my boyfriend that if we ever got married we'd get adjacent houses because I don't want to live with anybody. I got dreams and they never included the intrusion of being married. If we end up staying together its a good thing that he is going to Malawi to teach for five years because it will give me time to start my dream life without any unwanted help.
