Have you ever met someone who has caused you to change the way you think? Or has caused you to question what you believe to be right for you?
I have a guy friend who swore he would never get married or have kids, but when he met his lady love that all changed. He can't wait to be a father, etc. It really threw me because i've known him forever and he was pretty adamant about just co-habitating (as opposed to marriage).
Does love change the brain? Is it healthy for someone to have that much sway in your life?

This is why, when we have some threads here from men who swear to "never have kids, kick their wife out if she gains weight, never marry to start with as women are gold-diggers anyways" ---- I can't help but think, "They haven't really fallen in love yet."

Priorities change when you love someone. I think that's completely normal, and I'd question anyone that did not experience such a change. It doesn't mean you become a different person, but it does mean that you have something in your life now that is more important to you than some other things that you thought were written in stone. It happens to us all.
I think we have all said things that we swore we would never do, but such as life. We meet the right person, and grow up, and we can just hope that the decisions we make are the right ones. Change is not always a bad thing.

I don't think it's so much about growing up as it is just about seeing life in a different light.
When I was young, I met someone I was infatuated with, anything he said, I believed, and internalized. I did not do drugs, and worked hard at school. Because of him, I started doing drugs, dropped out of school, completely changed my values and personality. Fortunately, I got away from him, but not until I had almost completely screwed up my life. He eventually went to jail, several times over, and I just shake my head, wondering what the heck I was thinking, and thank goodness I dodged a bullet from getting more involved with him.
