Wrong to be married at 19 to a man 11 years older?

I got married to my husband when i was 17 and my husband is 11 years older than me. I am now 19 and still happily married to my husband. We are both very responsible people and we have good jobs. My husband is a GP and i am training to be a english teacher. Also we just found out that i am pregnant. All the time people say that it is wrong to be married at 19 especially to a man who is 11 years older than you! But one thing that people don't consider is that we love each other. What do you guys think? And now that i am pregnant, people are even worse but we are facing our responsibilities and we will love this child with all our heart. Is it really that wrong?

GP means general practitioner (a doctor!) : )

Honey, you're happy, he's happy, and you're having a baby. Don't listen to the naysayers. Relax and enjoy your life. Most people don't have it that good.

It's not wrong! If you love this man, there should be nothing in your way to stop you from being married to him!

Yeah I married at 19 & thought it was forever...but the marriage license expired at 24 years.

Don't be so smug- people change, people cheat, people grow apart. It can happen to YOU, too.

It's weird but if you are happy and love each other I guess it is Ok.

one thing i learned, YOU SHOULDNT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THIN, THEY'RE NOT YOU!!! if you love him, stay with him!!! o and dont get an abortion, that would be like killing ur baby

It sounds like you're insecure about your relationship if you have to tell everybody about this. Insecure and a little bit resentful as well.

You obviously weren't concerned about wrong and right two years ago, so why all of a sudden do you think what we think is somehow important?

No, true love doesn't have an age.


Don't Judge A Book...
If you're happy, don't care what anyone else thinks about it. It's your life, not theirs! Congratulations!

If you two really truly love each other, then no, it's not wrong. Congrats on the baby! I'm sure it will be glad to have two loving parents. :D

Wishing you all the best. You have your own life path to live. Live and learn on your own. Time will only tell.

I personally think you were too young to be married & have a child.

Oh no! It's fine. Ignore what people say. As long as you love your baby and your husband, it's OK.

I think it is a little weird... but just because I am still in school... so I am thinking of it like say... a 1st grader dating an 11th grader... :P lol but love is all that matters :) so if you love him, and he loves you... don't worry what people say!


paypay
yes because he is eleven and your seventeen

you married him for his money and he married you for age but you won't always be young, wait a few years.


mindlessselfindulger
I don't see anything wrong with it.
You seem to be responsible and are working towards a great future.

All the best (:


ariasat
it's fine as long as you or your husband don't regret your decision.


not this way

what usually happens over time as couples with a big age gap grow older, they start to develop differently. you are still very young and you two might be in different stages of life as time goes on.

whats the problem? as long as you are happy and everything is working out. just make sure you really want this though? how long have you been with this guy? im sure you can understand the concerns of people when a man of 28 marries a 17 year old. its not the norm is it?

married at 17 would have been the problem, what were you looking for a daddy?
do your best to make it work and blow off whoever thinks you shouldn't.

well don't blow them off literally ;)

edit:: ah a doctor eh? so a sugar daddy.
well no matter-- the damage is done so try to make the marriage work and take some parenting classes or something.

dont you think its a bit late asking this question now, while your pregnant, such a fake question, desperate for response.loser

You are obviously a mature 19 year old so I see nothing wrong with it at all, it's the people who think it's weird or wrong who need to question their maturity.

I'm 67 and last July married my wife who is 26 years my junior, we are both blissfully happy and real friends of ours share our happiness together.

Forget them, a lot of them will just be jealous of your happiness, congratulations by the way.
