However...I met mt fisrt husband at 17, got pregnant at 17, graduated from high school at 17 got married at 18....bought a house at 19 fought hard to raise a baby and stay married and were married 15 years which was at least 13 years longer than we should have been. We both changed so much from 17 to 21 and even more from 21 to 32....
wish you the best of luck as it can work but you BOTH have to have the strength and commitment to do it....this is in no way judgemental as I have lived it so I speak from experience, it's hard, fight for what you believe in and know when to walk away if even for just a moment to collect your thoughts =)
We met when FH was 29 and I was 22. Started dating when I was 23 and he was 30. Got engaged when I was 26 and he was 32 (right before his 33rd bday). The day we get married, I'll be 27 and he'll be newly turned 34 AND it's the day after our 4 year anniversary
Wow, why so judgemental! I thought this was a cute post. Whatever your love story is you should be able to share it without people being so rude. To each its own. I know that my Grandparents meet at 17 and 18 and they were together until death did them part. Everyone story is different. Lets focus on the postive people. I have enough negative things I hear and see and we shouldnt beat eachother down because of one's age at love. Hey in most states 17 your an adult-a young adult but your an adult and free to make your own choices. I know at 25 I didnt make the best of ones either. Except when I meet my darling FH!
He proposed when I was 29! I will be 30 when we wed! We have been together going on 5 years and I cant wait until the day we say I do! He will be 42 and I will be dirty 30!!!! lol
I also wanted to say I wish you the best of luck, BUT I do have to agree with some of the ladies on here, don't be afraid to grow and become the person you want to be, even if your FH isn't going the same way. I was engaged before I met FH, I was 19 and I thought that was what my future was going to be, now looking back, even though it is barely 4 years later, I could not IMAGINE if I had let myself be stuck in that relationship and kept myself in that box I was in. All I am saying is make sure you live your life the way YOU want to, you're young, enjoy it
Now I don't feel so young getting married. I was 16 and he was 15 when we met and started dating. He proposed when I was 19 and he was 18. By the time we are married, I will be 21 and he will be 20. We will have been together for 5 years when we get married. Can't Wait!
I don't think anyone was being judgemental. Just realistic, the younger you are the tougher it's going to be. Just be ready for it. That's why I suggested a premarital course it helps you ask the questions you might not yet have thought of.
I did one and I'm in my 30's it certainly doesn't hurt, and you can even find the questions free online.
