Re: "You're not really an adult until you get married!"

The way she describes everyone changing the way they treat her overnight despite the fact that absolutely nothing is different about her other than the fact that she got engaged (to a guy she had already been with for years) puts a lie to the idea that any actual maturity has been gained through the engagement alone. She feels more adult because people treat her like more of an adult, but they have no rational reason for doing so. If she is capable of starting her own business right after getting engaged, then she was capable of it right before, too. I don't think she "sold out" as she puts it, because she already had the relationship, so why not use it to her advantage?

In conclusion: simply getting married/engaged doesn't actually make you more mature, but gosh darn it, people will certainly act like it does!

What I'd like to know is if her fiance has had similar experiences or is it different for men?
