I didn't set a time for myself to be married. It will happen when it happens.
I never meant that a relationship should be a power struggle. I meant to say that when it becomes one, it never turns out well.
One thing i don't understand about the girl is that for one thing, she is absolutly drop dead gorgeous. Second, she is working her ass off in school and is defintly going to have an amazing career when she gets out. I've never seen the guy, but her room mates say that he isn't anything special, not in college and doesnt have a job or is he looking for one. At the age of 23, he has no ambition and just lives with his parents and goes to clubs. He won't let her go out unless he is with her, and he never wants to go anywhere except clubs. She isn't a club goer at all. He controls what she wears and most aspects of her life...over the phone. I never understood how you can get a relationship to go that way, but I guess it happens. The scarey thing is, it happens often. She is one of 2 people I know that are going through something like this right now, and a bunch of my friends said that they have had boyfriends attempt the same stuff.
I hope her roommates get help for her as soon as possible because she needs it. Not much that I personally can do unfortuantly because I don't know her well.
