Mellisa Soehono, 29, says she would “definitely” like to start a family someday.
“I do get a little bit of ‘FOMO’ seeing my friends around my age getting married, settling into a new home — and I’m just not in a place where that is really realistic for me,” said the public relations executive in Jacksonville, Florida.
