Tough position. But advice my gram gave me, having lived on her own, er, with roommate, for a couple years getting after high school education, was, make sure you live independent before marrying a man. I feel, she found it benefited her, settled her, before marriage, kids, living with inlaws. She and my grandfather fulfilled their vows, happily, healthily married, best friends, even.
Best advice! She was still close to her mom, same town even, oldest child, as well.
It's ok, to want this. Wasn't standard americana behavior, during those years, either....not for a woman.
