These titles seem to have a similar connotations. Is there any difference at all? More importantly, when do you get these titles? Are still considered an old maid if you're in a long-term relationship just not married. What do you call that? 'Cos it seems that I'm heading in that direction.
My BF's sister recently got engaged to her boyfriend of about 2 1/2 years. On one hand there is some relief...At least for a little while we won't have to be pressured by his mother into getting hitched. But, it does make me think about where I want my own relationship (of nearly 6 years) to go.
I know I want to get married, but I don't want to make a big deal about it. And, I don't want to go broke paying for it. My BF says that he wants to get married, but doesn't feel like he's financially ready to take the plunge...At the rate he's going he may never be "ready." What's a girl to do?
Part of me wants for have this "phase" of my life in place by the time I turn 30, but I know that is a silly goal to set. Well, I'm going to let this one simmer for a while...
