Random question: When you picture your wedding, or having kids, or any other aspect of being married or otherwise in an adult long-term relationship, is the person you picture yourself with always the same, or does it vary from one imagining to another?

(The answer to this question is obvious for those of you already married or already in a long-term relationship, and it's almost as obvious for those of you who have been dating someone for more than just a few months. I'm more curious about the answer for those of you who are single, who are near the beginning of a relationship, or who are dating around or whatever.)

What an interesting question! I'm not with anyone and sort of don't plan to be, but when I imagine things like that, it depends on the context, because there are things I want for myself and then there are things my family wants for me. So, depending on how I'm thinking about my future, I might think about one of about four different types of people fitting that role. Or, none at all.
