DEAR POPPY: PEOPLE settle down in their own time and sometimes not at all.

As long as they are being honest with their partners and staying safe, it really is their business and no one else’s.

While you were happy in your relationship and assuming that was the best option for others, it was judgmental and damaging to your friendship with Ruby.

Being overly content can mean we take things for granted and perhaps your rose-tinted glasses stopped you from seeing your own relationship needed attention.
