I feel so crazy for even thinking this. My boyfriend Chuck and I have been dating for about a year and a half I'm only 17 hes 18 We started dating our sophmore year and now are in the middle of our Junior year We have broken up once due to my drunken mishap He forgave me but it took time I know that we are so young, but this relationship with him and what we have together feels soo "old" not sure if that was the right word Even our parents say our relationship is mature for what we are at in our life I think i want to spend the rest of my life with him?
AM i abosolutely crazy for thinking this? Im not saying i wanna get married right out of highschool I can see myself spening the rest of my life with this man We have talked about how it would be amazing to move in with eachother and go to college when the time comes We are both graduating early so that will be next winter.im not saying we will move it i jsut wanna know if its unrealistic for ppl to want to marry their HS sweetheart?

Hon, that sounds amazing! Don't be afraid to marry right out of high school. If you love him, it doesn't matter if your 17 or 57! Very few girls are as blessed to find a guy that they want to spend the rest of their life with. Sounds like you don't have a problem!

You are only 17! By 21 you will more than likely be a completely different person who thinks differently and wants to be around different kinds of people. It is possible to marry someone at 18 and it last for many years, but the majority of the time it doesn't work. I would say you should live together first to see if you are able to get along. Living with someone can tell you a lot about them. I thought I would marry my HS sweetheart and then a year after graduation he decided to cheat on me. I thought I knew him better than that, but apparently not. Hope everything works out.

I'm going to marry my HS sweetheart. I think it's odd for two people who started dating so young (my bf and I started dating our senior year) but it's not the craziest thing on this site. I'm glad you don't seem to be in a hurry to get to the alter. People change as they grow up and one or both of you could change a lot in college. Keep that in mind and if you're right then you'll have a head start on everyone else.

it's not crazy at all. I'm 23 and dating my high school sweatheart..however we broke up after graduation and had about a 5 year break. The relationship would have never worked if we stayed together but we're actually planning our wedding now! However, my college roommate just called off her wedding with her h.s. sweatheart cause she felt she had nothing to compare him to. She didn't know what else was out there. I just want to leave you with one thing that really helped me out...if you're going to be together for the rest of your lives, why rush it? You have all the time in the world for you two to get married. Just enjoy each other now. If you truely love each other, a ring and a reception shouldn't matter...

It's up to you. It's your life. I broke up with my highschool sweetheart right before graduation.........started dating someone else. We got married a few weeks after graduation. Ha needless to say I'm not engaged to my highschool sweetheart. Although honestly had we both not had 4 years to grow up I don't know if we'd be together now or not. But no matter what anyone tells you it is your life. Some highschool relationships work out. Others don't. No one can tell you what to do. You'll know it in your heart if its right! Good luck no matter what!

I think it's nice you have a great relationship. Just take one day at a time. You're too young to be making judgements on what you want to do with the rest of your life. Sometimes people are in our lives for reason and they are great for that stage of your life. Sometimes when you reach another stage that person doesn't fit so well. So my advice to you is to enjoy him right now, love him right now but don't make any permanent life changing decision right at 17.

I think you sound very level-headed. You're in love, you want to be together and that's great.
You also suspect that getting married right away may not be the smartest idea. That shows you're thinking.
I think you'll know when you're ready.
I suggest you go ahead with your plan to go to University, but commit not to do anything irreversable until after you graduate.
By the time you finish Uni you'll be know each other inside and out. You can then100% certain if you're ready to move foreward to the next step.

I will say this, at my 20th high school reunion there were a lot of couples that I went to school with that are still married, happy and I met their teen age children, which was weird, because when I last saw these people, we were the teenagers!
