I was early 30's and she was early 20's. We were having brunch one morning and she told me she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. I remember chuckling (bad move, I know). However, I told her that her life and outlook is going to change so much by the time she hits 30 that she wouldn't believe it.

We broke up a few months later 'cause the relationship required some work--I.e., we left the honeymoon phase and she realized that it wasn't as much fun.

She's now in a completely different career, dating men and her life couldn't be any more different than it was when we had that conversation.
