Back up Plan

     In movies there are always people who have a friend that they say they will marry if they find no one else to marry by a certain age. In the movies that back up person always seem so cool that I wonder why they don't just marry them to begin with and and just skip the drama. I suppose that's what makes those types of movies believable. In real life someone would  not just marry their back up person, they for sure would go out with everyone but their back up person just to be certain.
       I always wondered what it would be like to have a "back up" person. Its hard enough to find any good guy let alone a back up. Sheesh. I do have a friend who ended up marrying her back up person. It would have been a lot better if they would have just married years before . For one thing having kids would have been easier. They had kids but it was not so easy. The other thing is that if someone is your back up person there is a reason for it. You rely on them enough to make them your back up person. It really is not fair to those you are dating to have a  back up person . Those people have no idea that you already have a back up plan if it does not work out with you. How unfair is that?
         For heaven's sake if you have a "back up " person save yourself the drama and just marry them . There really is not anyone better out there. Trust me....
