not counting the ones who get pregnant and marry for that reason. i just mean the chances of it happening. like percentage wise?
i'm asking because my highschool sweetie is unfortunetly graduated leaving me behind in highschool dust. he dumped me a week b4 he graduated and then asked me back out two weeks later. i said yes. and befor that little episode, we had so many plans...and i like to think that we're different...
but, for him to hurt me like that, i'm wondering if maybe we aren't?? but i do love him and this is my last year of highschool..and then i'm off to college.
the same one as him actually...<3
opinions please. thank you. =]

Chances to get married? High and likely.
Chances to stay married? Low and likely.
For the reason being: Back in the earlier days, before your generation, they had different values on marriage...no matter what, you stayed married. Thats why elder people, even tho they may argue now (like my grandparents) stay married no matter what. Now, you have a disagreement, its over! Now, the divorce rate is sky high compared to back then. Morals are different now...children arent being raised like they were then... we're more of a 'care free' and 'loose' scoeity.
Another reason it has a small chance of working is: Until you reach the age of 25, you are still maturing- you're brain is still growing. At 25, that stops. You still learn, but you are a true adult. (this is a scientific fact--this can be researched)
So, until 25, you are constantly changing and adapting to the world and your environment.
You & him can either 1) grow together or 2) grow apart and sadly its usually grow apart. Until 25, youre "finding" yourself.
I'm not saying that HS marriages never work, its just a rarity. But if it does work for you, more power to you and i hope the best! Just be careful, oK? =)

I would say about 20% chance and of that chance number I would guess another half of those marriages end in divorce. The problem is when you are in high school you are a very different person than when you are in your 20's and 30's. You don't have your career, goals, or what you want yet decided. Many times people change so much that there just isn't much left of the relationship. Let him go. You go to college next year. If it is meant to be, you will get back together.

It's totally okay to dream about the future with someone you love. I have known 2-3 happily married couples who were high school sweethearts. I have also known others whose marriages crumbled.
Whether to marry your high school sweetheart depends on the maturity of both people, how committed they are to making their marriage work, and if they opt for kids, whether they have similar views about raising them.
It sounds like your bf broke up with you not because of you but because he was entering a new phase in his life: College. He was probably scared (it's always easier to come back to something already familiar -- you -- than to face the unknown).
My advice is the enjoy your senior year. Make the most of it with/without your bf -- whatever you decide. Your entire life is ahead of you!

Been married for 35 years (in a few weeks( to my high school sweetheart. He dumped me 2 weeks before graduation. We got married about a year and a half later.
A word of advice. If it is meant to be, everything will work out, otherwise, go to college, get your education and enjoy life.
Way better to be married to a man who is ready and doesn't feel trapped or obligated.

you ought to possibly confirm why the relationship did no longer artwork the 1st time, then ask your self whether you think of the the two one in each of you're able to make the mandatory ameliorations to make it artwork.
