Am i too young...........?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am i too young...........?

I am 18 years old and have been dating my boyfriend for 7 months now. We have known each other since junior high and have also been friends since then. I lost my virginity to him just a little bit after we started dating. It just felt right. I have dated many many guys and have had many many offers but i always said no. With David it just felt right. I have fallen for him and know for sure that this is the guy i want to spend the rest of my life with. We both feel this way. Our moms wants us to wait to get married until we both finish college 4 years from now. It just seems so far from now and I really don't want to wait. His mom got married when she was 15 and my mom got married when she was 18. What is the big deal? Am i really just too young to get married or is that just what most people want us to think?







<33333 ;D
Mmmm get married.If you both feel the same way then get married.But you need to go to like community college or something if you get married right now

Trust the parents on this one. Finish college then get married you will be much happier. If he is the one you are met to be with you will. After college.. Good luck

too young, was with my ex for 7 years and 2 months after we wed we started the divorce. Big custody battle was next. yea, your too young.

if you love him, and you want to marry him,marry him. However, you've got to be 100 percent sure about this. also, whats the rush. no-one needs to get married!?

OOOooo 7 whole months!!!! Yup, that is enought time to base a LIFETIME decision on.

Go to college. Listen to your moms. If is meant to be it will be. My bet is NOT!

PLEASE listen to your parents, who have provided your best answer. They KNOW from personal experience, and want only the best for you both. There's never a rush to do something that's meant to be....♥♥

If you really really wanted to you would be postive that you would want to.
You wouldnt come on to yahoo answers looking for reassurance.
and im not trying to be mean at all.
im just saying, wait till YOU know you are ready.

i hope it helped a little :)

Yes, I think you're too young to get married. What's the big deal with waiting a couple years and going to college, as long as you're together, why get married so early?

You're not too young emotionally, but my advice would be to wait it out until you are more secure financially. There is no need to rush things, if it was really meant to be then it should all work out in a few years.

I would say you guys should wait until you are both out of college. 18 is kind of young to get married and you both will change, not saying that you will not still love each other, but I think it would be smart to wait.

You are not too young to get married, but you also haven't been together long enough to know whether you want to be together forever. Wait until that "new romance glow" wears off in another year and see what you think.

I don't think your too young but I think you should take the parent unit's advice. Instead you should live together and see if marriage can work after living together. I believe you should know someone for at least 3 years before marriage. I do think you should get married but test the waters more first. You don't want something to happen and then have to legally separate.

what the fun in being married during college????
i was not tied down and had a BLAST :)
give college a try with your BF.. if its really love and meant to be you will make it work but just remember there are SOOO many "fish in the sea" and you might meet one (or he might) at college.. and then your happy little relationship may not be so happy anymore


esdaddy
Ten years from now your question will be different.
Q. i got married when i was 18-19 cause i thought i knew what i wanted but now that im an actual grownup it seems like me and my husband have grown apart. He has been very distant and i don't know what to do.Plus we have 2 kids now and if we get a divorce I don't know how i will take care of them. Maybe the state can pay for them.

not trying to be mean but take your time ok.

Why do people feel the obsession to getting married? You are too young. Why not just date through college? Look you have a lot of years ahead of you and if you feel this guy is the one he still will be in 4 years. I have a feeling both you and him will feel a bit different after college.


sweet gurl28
i think you both need to wait what if something goes wrong then you guys get a divorce i think it wonderful you guys are in love but save up to buy a house and everything you need for a wedding maybe your guys parents don't want you guys to make the same mistake i think you should wait there's no reason why you have to marry each other if you both love each other you would wait good luck :)


Squidge
personally i would wait till im older and been together longer because if ive known the guy for a long time as friend its a totally different situation when being together as you would have to deal with a lot of different things and i would want to no if we are strong enough to get through the rough patches.
but then ive never been in a serious relationship like this so i cant really offer any real advice on something like this.

Why not wait until after college? Hearts change, people change, divorces are hard. If you two love each other as much as you say, then why not wait another 4 years to get your educations? You can still live together, if thats not against your beliefs, but just not be married just yet. Listen to your mom. How did her marriage and your boyfriends moms marriage pan out after they got married so young?

Listen, what's up with that status of a married girl? Do you want the status or do you want to be with him? Because marrid ppl cheat, a lot do and the ring on the finger has never been and never will be an obstacle.
Therefore, if you 2 are really serious, you won't have any problem waiting till you finish college. It'll give you a lot more financial freedom and a lot more wisdom to be happy

People grow so much from 18-25. Wants and needs change, as does maturity. So many young couples get divorced because they grow apart, not up and together. If it's right, then you'll still feel this way in a couple of years and will have your parent's blessing to get married.

7 months is NOT long enough to know anyone well enough to get married, no matter how old you are.

If it is true love that is going to last a lifetime, 4 years doesn't matter. Get your educations so you can afford to have a beautiful fairytale wedding and a financially secure life once you are married.

Your not too young to get married, your too young to stay married if you get married now. You have a lot to accomplish before you are ready to get married. I got married at 18 / divorced at 38. Wasted 20 years. Be smart get the education first!

dont let your moms tell you what to do. you are old enough to make this decision. after all, its not your mom who loves this guy, it is you. tell your mom that you will make the decision regardless of her opinion but that you hope she will be there to support you either way. this will let her know that you are serious and you dont want this to effect the relationship with her. if she got married so young, she may have some better advice besides just no.

If you are really sure about him, I don't see why not. I know a bunch of families who got married at 16 or so and they are very happy (one family has 13 kids no joke)
Just cause a lot of people are waiting to get married that doesn't mean you have to if you really are sure about him. People used to get married a lot younger.
but if you are going to college maybe you should wait.
but people can find the love of their life at a young age! <3

First i would like to say i hope everything works out for the best.Telling you you are too young wont work because you already justified it by both parents got married young.So ask yourself this question. In today;
's economy can we afford living together without going to college and getting a good education to to provide a good life style for us and possibly are children?What kind of jobs could we get without it?That should answer your question.

think of it like this is your mom still married and is his mom still married. your young and have your whole life to do anything you want too. listen to your mom they know what their talking about from exsperience. I got married young it lasted a year and im still married for seven years and i have not seen her for six years. so i would have to say yes just listen to your mom because you might find somebody totaly better you never know but you learn from your mistakes you only live once so do what you want to do

You need to put your careers first. You have plenty of time to get married and are not going to die if you don't get married now. Maybe there is a reason your mom's don't want you to marry young like they did. Go to college and get your degree's. Become true adults. Get out in the working world and then get married. I'm sure if you are in love that much that you can wait. Get engaged now if you want if that makes you feel better but don't marry until you are out of college or almost out.

She's just telling you you're too young to get married because she doesn't want you to jump into the whole house & car payments type of things. Like she wants you to enjoy life before getting married because things do get really tough and tears you down alot after you get married. But i don't think it's too young. If you two have a strong relationship and have alot of trust in each other things should work out fine.
