it seems like practically everyone my age, people i've known for years and newer people in my life, are all getting married and established. but i feel behind; i have a boyfriend who i've been with for 3 years and have discussed marriage with, but we're not married or engaged yet. i just feel a little behind and left out cuz so many others my age are already getting married and settling down. my guy and i are both still in school; i'm beginning to get tired of "regular school", but it's hard cuz where i live jobs are next to impossible to find, and i don't have a car. in a way i feel "stuck." i just wish i too was getting married and all that. is there anyone else who feels this way??

Why are you comparing yourself to others? Your destiny is yours and you need to take things at the speed that you're comfortable with.

One day the people who married early will envy you. It is more important to get a good education and a good job than to rush into marriage because "everyone" else is doing it. They will be getting divorced in a couple of years, too.

there's no reason you should feel behind. you can get married at any age. enjoy your 20s. people who rush to get married are scared of the world.

At least you have someone. I'm just like you (20 years old) but have never even had a girlfriend, let alone any good friends. Count your blessings.
