Answer 2

I married my Jr. High sweetheart! Which turned out not so good. We got married at 20, without having dated many other people. He always had some kind of flirt thing going on with women he worked with, but made it seem so innocent - like they were the aggresors & he was just fending them off. Then, when we were married 11 years, he started cheating with one (I strongly suspected & vehemently he denied). We went to marriage counseling for a couple years, and he kept coming up with excuses as to why he couldn't transfer out of the same area where he was with this lady everyday. He swore they only had oral once - but then he went to the doctor who told him he had gonorrhea & had to tell me, or he would have the board of health do it. He was more upset he got caught & had to admit he lied than about what he had done! I finally saw the light & got out. So, I reccomend dating more when you are young. If you don't get out & meet many different types of personalities, how will know what you like & don't like in someone you plan on sharing most of your life with? And when you go to college, you will meet people from different parts of the country & beyond, not just from the neighborhood. Think how exciting that will be! Getting married is too important a decision to just stick with someone because you have been together a long time & know each other well. There's more to it than that. I wish I had listened when people said that to me! It would have saved many mental scars I am still working on. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I did. We dated for 5 year. Got married when we were 21, and have been happily married for +13 years.
However I think we were very lucky. I don't see many HS sweethearts lasting.

Answer 4

Hey gymchick... my parents were highschool sweet hearts, got together when my mom was in grade 10 and my dad was in grade 12.. they stayed together and a year after my dad graduated from university he proposed to her. They married at 22 and are still together now... almost 30 years of marriage.

When I was in highschool I was in love with a boy named Justin and because my parents were together since they were 17 I was convinced that me and Justin would stay together forever and get married... we were together for about a year and half and he broke my heart. It was the biggest shock I had ever experiences and the most depressed I ever became.... after that I started to realize this is a different generation and that its not that realistic to expect to marry your highschool sweetheart, go out and live and meet lots of guys... and never depend on someone that badly, take care of yourself, the right one will come along when he's meant to.

Answer 5

I married my highschool sweetheart stayed in an abusive relationship for twelve years and finally got brave enough to leave.

I think all people need to date alot of people to find out what they really want in a mate and to wait to get married until they are in their 20's, live on their own for awhile.
