So I have these two friends who are hopeless romantics. Let's call them Katy and Taylor.
Katy is in a pretty rough situation. She is a single mother who relies heavily on her relatives for support. She has a low paying job and is on welfare. She constantly seems to be waiting for a guy to come and rescue her from her situation but she is routinely disappointed by the men that she meets. It is my opinion that she is putting the cart before the horse. She needs to engineer her way out of the bad situation before trying to meet a guy. For example, she is bad with money. Her child is almost 3 years old and she hasn't made any progress towards moving into a home in which her and her child do not have to share a room.
Enough about Katy though.
Taylor (who I am closer with) is a few years younger but I see her heading down a similar path (albeit I kind of doubt that surprise children are in her future, she practices safe sex). Taylor lives at home and has a low paying job. She has pursued better career options a few times but doesn't really follow through with them. Taylor, like Katy, is also boy crazy and hoping for a guy to come into her life and make things better.
Like I said, Taylor and I are closer, so in candid moments, she will admit to me that she is jealous of our other female friends and how they have great boyfriends and how their lives are so put together. Also because Taylor and I are close, I can share with her my opinion that those friends don't have their lives put together because they have great boyfriends, but rather they have great boyfriends because they have their lives put together.
Here is the catch though. Taylor just met a guy. And he seems pretty legit.
I hope things work out for her, but does this blow up my horse before the cart theory?
Do you guys know anyone like this? Male or female; someone who is doing really well but whose life would fall apart if they weren't in a relationship.
Thanks.
