It may be 2020 but some people still cannot reconcile themselves to the notion that marriage does not mean that one gives up their right to be independence.

She may be the wing woman, the one who holds the purses when everyone else goes to the bathroom or even the designated driver when others are too intoxicated to hold their liquor.
