i found my true love at age 13. i'm now almost 18 and i'm completely in love, i doubt myself often though just because he was must first "serious" bf. after i doubt it i feel like i am extremely stupid because as soon as i see him again my heart jumps and i KNOW it's real.
How many of you ended up marrying ur highschool sweethearts? was it a good decision?

I stayed single for 18 yrs before marrying again.

My husband was my high school sweetheart for 4 1/2 years before we married and we have always been very much in love. I love with my whole heart. But all of a sudden (well I guess not all of a sudden cause the signs have been there) we are arguing all the time and even saying things we don't mean. Our relationship has become very complicated and we have only been married now for about 6 months. We have actually been talking about separating for awhile to make sure our feelings are still what they were when we met.
From my most recent experiences with my husband (high school sweetheart) it is very hard. I do think me and my husband will get through it this time, but I am already wondering if we will make it forever as you say in the vows. If you do marry him make sure you are not having any problems that will destroy that marriage before you actually go through with the marriage. If there are any signs that you may not be able to stay together forever then my best advice is to do the opposite of me and don't marry just because you have always loved him for so many years. Good luck and I only wish the best for you.

I almost married my middle school sweetheart. I loved her so much, and still have some kind of feelings. But I'm glad I didn't. I ended up finding someone else. The right one. We now have 2 kids, and are more or less happy together. Sure, we have our problems, but all relationships do. Not that high school sweetheart relationships never work. But it might be a good idea to wait if you're thinking of getting married. You never know what life has in store for you. And that's why I'm glad I did.

oh yes, i married my highschool sweetheart or my first love rather. i was 16 and we got married 3 months ago and i am now 25. of course, we we not togther ALL that time, but on and off for all those years. when i first met him, i knew there was something "different" about him, but i didnt know then that i would eventually marry him. my parents hated him and told me it was just "puppy love". i guess i proved them wrong! we are having difficulty in our marriage, but we know we love eachother and marriage takes ALOT of work. I sometimes think that some of our problems are due to the fact that we have grown up together. when you grow up, you make many mistakes, and if you stay with your first love, some of those mistakes have hurt your partner. and they know ALL of your mistakes. It can be done. True love is rare, so hold on and enjoy the ride. Always remember....if it was meant to be, it will be!

I have a really good friend who did the same thing. He married the only girl he ever dated back in high school. Here it is almost 20 years later. They have 3 sons and a daughter. He did 10 years in the Navy, got out and is now an officer in the Army. They are as in love today as they ever were. No regrets.

I married my high school sweetheart. Even though we ended in divorce, it was a good decision for me, because I got 2 beautiful kids out of the marriage. Now when I see him, my heart doesn't skip a beat out of love, but out of anger, because he neglect our kids and keep having more kids to turn their world upside down. I learned allot from that marriage and I got to travel allot. If you can hold it together, it's a great thing. You just have to know that since you are so young, changes will come, because you will be growing into an adult and you have to remember to grow together and not apart.

I do not believe in such types of relationships. I think they just drone on for too long till one of you loses interest in the other person. I think you are still way too young to know what love is as well. So slow it down.You still have a lot of growing up to do and a lot more people to meet! And as you grow up, you will change and could grow apart or closer. I think how different I am now from when I was 18 and its just not realistic to think you know each other for life at that age. So NO MARRIAGE yet. Grow up together first and see how it goes.

I didnt marry my highschool sweetheart but i would say go for it, dont marry right away but see where the relatationship goes before you do that, if you are planning on going to college see how the relationship goes during that time alot could change but isnt it worth giving it a try?

I ended up marrying my highschool sweetheart, and it lasted for 13 years. Now, keep in mind, neither one of us had dated anyone else and I think that may have contributed to our divorce. However, my mom married my dad when she was 17 and he was 20. They're still married today---52 years. You cannot base your decision on anyone else's life.

I did we have been together for almost 4 years now.
Things have been really bad before, but you just have to work it out, there is a LOT of growing up you do, but it is worth it. I love him with all of my heart, I could never imagine being w/o him.
You have to learn how to communicate. You will learn a lot about each other after you move in together. NEVER GIVE UP, that is why so many people fail. There is ALWAYS a solution, it just takes time to figure out what that solution is sometimes.
