(no subject)
I don't understand how some people can just settle merely for convenience. It's their choice honestly, but it just isn't right. Not yet anyways. he is not even one of my good friends, and if he's happy that's great. But when he announced it, it was almost melancholy. "Hey, uh, so, have you heard?" Not how it should be, "Hey! I am marrying her! We are so happy, the rest of my life is going to be amazing!" I think that he may have felt a little pressured into marrying her. I know (because he told me) that he wasn't considering the idea at all, even after her step-dad and mom suggested that he propose. That or the fear that he won't return, though I hardly doubt that. I really wish I could find out his intentions. I just can't fathom it. Not to mention, they haven't really been together long. They hardly know each other, they have only been dating for a little over or under a year. I have been with Ryan nearly 2 years, and I cannot say that I know him completely yet. I know him very, very well inside and out, but I know I wouldn't get married now.
I know that he has matured while in boot camp, but what about her? She is in high school. She still may be in that frame of mind where it's all good and jolly now, but what about long term.
I must say that I disapprove of the engagement. But who am I to say anything? My opinion does not count with either of them because I only know what he has told me and what I see from the outside. I am not around them enough to really form a valid opinion of the whole situation (besides my general opinion of age, maturity, and relationship development). So I won't interfere, or even really state my opinion to him.
I am happy that the both of them are happy (I hope that's the case). And I think that if that is what makes them happy, and get's him through the trials ahead, than good for him. But I have this feeling that something sad (and expensive) is inevitably going to happen. Hopefully the reason they are getting engaged isn't because of something growing in her belly.... oooh. That would be horrible.
I kind of feel like a bitch for this post, but it has been on my mind. I probably wouldn't have posted it if I had not seen him here, all dressed up in his peanut-butter colored uniform.
He doesn't look happy. I hope it works out for the best, soon.
