I have a thing about commitment, I just don’t like it or feel a need for it, at least right now anyway, I’m 23 so quite a bit younger than Zoe, but I am also at the age where if I dated anyone who wanted to get married/have kids within the next couple of years at least, I’d leave. I want to focus on myself, my degree and career resulting from that and I think that’s normal. Zoe has had the same partner and been co-dependant since she was my age. She’s not had any room to grow by herself, focus on her own wellbeing and even now it’s hard to even see where I’ll be in the next year let alone five, with someone alongside me. Zoe wants commitment, Alfie doesn’t, it would be one of the first things I’d ask about after about six months to a year being with someone. She’s wasting her time, their age gap seems huge when you see it this way. She needs to dump him, focus on herself for a while, fix her awful habits before inflicting the way she is rn on someone else and THEN set out to find Mr. Right.
