what do you think is the right age to start settling down.?

Question

i have been with my boyfriend for over a year now, we got together when i was 16,we are very happy, he moved in with me at my parents home but now we live apart again do you think we should look into getting our own place.

Answer 1

wow...i'd say you're really lucky, if you honestly believe you've found your soulmate already. of course, its not that hard to believe. i found mine at 17, so kudos to you. as far as settling down goes, it depends on what you mean by that. are you talking about getting married, etc? if that's the case, i'd say you're a little young to be thinking about it. a year isn't that long to know someone before marrying them. you also have to consider college, a career, and all that jazz first. if, however, you already know what you want to do, and are prepared to not let the relationship get in the way of that, then i say hey, if your parents are on board (assuming you're under 18, because if you are, you legally need their permission) to you getting married, then i say go for it. god bless.

Answer 2

I don't think there's a magical age for when people should settle down. You and your partner have to both want to settle down. From the way I read your message, it seems as if you are still young - around 18? When I was 18, I definitely was not ready to be with someone in a serious relationship. I was going to college and excited about being around "older" guys, having freedom and partying. I wanted to experience the world outside of my parents house without being attached to anyone. That worked for me. However, everyone's different and views relationships differently. Do what's best for you and your boyfriend.

Answer 3

I'm not sure there is a “right” age. What is the rush? If you two do love one another, then you will stay together. Just enjoy one another's company and see where it leads. I have the advantage of living for 54 years, so have seen some things in life that it just takes time to see.

I would recommend that you wait until you are both able to earn a good living!

Answer 4

The right age for settling down is when you want to be with that person.for the rest of your life .
Living with parents very often causes friction within families
It is better to get a place of own if you possibly can.

Answer 5

23

Answer 6

I was married at 20. I don't think it's some magic age. I just think you have to go for it. If you feel it then go for it. I'm still married and I'm almost 29. You just have to have faith in what your doing and don't look for the easy out. gods knows their are plenty of times I have felt that i can't do this or I just want tot kill him and such but I don't look at this like a marriage I look at it like family. You don't leave family. I find that that will get me passed the tough times and then it's all good times.

Answer 7

It all depends on the circumstances, not age. Work, money, home, raising a family with all the obligations it entails and others. Study these factors carefully both of you before embarking on such an important decision as marriage.

Answer 8

NO WAY! You guys are way too young. You should wait until you're at least 28-30 before settling down. Enjoy your life, get some life experience and see where that takes you.

Answer 9

26-28

Answer 10

Give it some time. You need to live your life before you decide to settle down and become domesticated. I married young at 20 and needless to say I grew to resent my marriage cause I was tied down and didn't get to live my life before I got married. Please take this advice under consideration before you take that really big leap. You really don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
