bride to nowhere...

Marlene Davis, from the Lexington Herald Leader, wrote a column about referring to Bristol's boyfriend, Levi, as her fiance'. (click the title of this blog for the article.)

we can certainly speculate on what the real feelings are between bristol and levi and the couple and sarah palin, but it is only speculation. we may not have an answer until palin is out of the national light, whether that is two months, four years, or eight--if we ever learn at all.

i will say that i agree with davis about not labeling them engaged. all i have is my perspective and personal history; anyone who knows me would agree that i could never be called a commitment phobe having been engaged four times. i found myself nodding in agreement with many of her points.

in all honesty, i admit that i have great sympathy for bristol palin. i have never been pregnant, but i have been in places that scared the hell out of me, and i have followed through on commitments that i should have broken.

my only concern is that she may feel alone. i hope that she truly does have the support she needs, and not just support, but understanding.
