Hello. I'm 18 and i've been dating my boyfriend since October of last year. I've known him since I was 11, since he was a family friend. We've been through so much, like the typical "let's get married right NOW, I love you so much" at the beginning, to "I'm not ready, I want to be financially set, which may be 10 years" when we both were poor and unemployed. and that really bad phase he had where he treated me like crap ALL the time (I gave him a month to straighten up, it worked!). He's going to the Marines, and he tells me now when he gets back, we ARE going to get married. I feel ready. I love him with all my heart, but I'm worried about what my family will think. I am in college, and that comes first, but I also want a family with him, too. (Hopefully not children right away!) I want to be an Elementary School Teacher. Am I being too naive, or are we really ready? I just want some opinions. Thank you.
