he hasn't even asked, and i'm upset

Whenever I do tell my family that Dave and I are final engaged, it still will not be the right time. My mom is still being upset about her and my father. Let alone the news that by brother is about to drop on the family. That will break Oma's heart I know.
I know my wedding will really just be my mom and I yelling at each other about what I want verses what she wants. And then here is Dave’s mom, who still thinks for some odd reason, that her son is going to come back home to sit there and polished. and then Dave will be sitting there the entire time, not helping to backing me up, just complaining that he didn’t really want all this crap in the first place, and that our relationship status is really on one else's business.
This isn’t’ going to be good, it is going to be horrible, and I’m already dreading it.

what will the future bring?

David and Imran are really starting to worry about their futures. How would have thought that someone with a PhD in physics couldn't find a job.
I'm worried too, about their and my future. if i don't get into grad school, i don't know what i'm going to do. I will be over qualified for most jobs, but not really qualified to do anything but teach. and i'm not really sure i want to do that any more either.

then again, does anyone really know what they want to do for the rest of thier lives?
