High School Sweethearts?

Question

i would like to know if you married your high school sweethearts. how long did you guys date? Where did you meet? When did you decide you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them? Did you have anyone discourage you? Did anyone say you wouldn' make it?

Answer 1

i was with my hs gf for six years.. but we kinda drifted apart when she went to college

it's been seven years since but i can tell you that i still love her

she's dating someone right now though =/

Answer 2

I am marrying my high school sweetheart in a year and a half. We have been dating for four years, and met in high school in grade nine. After about a year and a half of dating we realized we want to spend the rest of our lives together. We both had crappy relationships before with people who didn't care. There are a few people who try to discourage us. My grandmother was not too thrilled when I told her we were engaged (I was 18 at the time), and a few people I have worked with always say "you're too young to get married" or "you're only 20, it won't last". To those people you just have to say "piss off and mind your own business". No one can tell you whether you are meant to be together, or wrong to be together, or that your marriage won't last. It's up to you to make it work.

Answer 3

Yes, I married my high school sweetheart. We were half way through tenth grade when he transferred into my school. We dated 4 years before we got married. No one discouraged us or said we wouldn't make it. We have been married 37 years.

We both have our degrees. He always worked and I was mostly a stay at home mom. We have no debt and own a 3000 sq ft house.

Would I do it again???? I don't think so. Maybe I am just bored. However I do have a much better life than any of my friends.

Answer 4

ummm EVERYONE said we wouldn't make it. We dated from year 2000 to March 2004 and got married at ages 18 and 19 when he joined the Army. We have been through one deployment and have a 6 month old son. Getting married was a decision we made during a time of drastic changes in our lives. It resulted well for us, which isn't always the case. I know it sounds crappy but the way I looked at it (at that time) was "hey I can always get a divorce if it doesn't work out but I can never go back in time and see what could have been." Hey those were my options and I made my choices.
Nobody supported us. Not my fam and not his. our friends were supportive but almost every person I met had something to say about it. Don't listen to them. They're not gonna be the ones losing sleep when you wake up someday and wish you would have chosen differently.

Answer 5

My best friend just got a divorce from the man she had been with since she was fourteen. That being said, I don't think it's impossible to make things work with your "high school sweetheart."

There are issues. Your a unique person, and you haven't figured out what it is that makes you happy. When your young, and in a serious relationship, you tend to make sacrifices for the other person at the expense of becoming who you really are. Good relationships take sacrifices, but this is the time in your life to go all out, be a little selfish, and pursue your own interests.

I always say, no one in this life is going to show up and hand you happiness on a plate. If you can balance your boyfriend and the path that your life is going to take go for it, but I caution you to not base your entire life around him.

Answer 6

I did marry my high school sweet heart... we dated for 4 years then broke up for a year to "find ourselves" then got back together 6 months later was married... We didn't meet at school we met when he moved in next door to me... When we were apart i was always looking for a man that was just like him...never could find him...Alot of people said we probably wouldn't make it because we are so young..we have been married 2 years going on 3 and i could not ask for a better husband he is my best friend and i wouldn't trade that for the world...

Answer 7

I married my HS sweetheart. I met him at a friend's house when I was 14 (almost 15) he was 17 (almost 18). We bought a house together at 21/24 and got married at the ages of 22/25. So we were together for over 7 years before we got married.

We have been married over 10 years now. No one ever told us it was a bad idea- I guess because we are meant to be together. I've had more people be inspired by us.

Answer 8

My high school sweetheart and I met in March of my senior year at a teenage dance club. About halfway through the evening we really did see each other across a crowded dance floor and danced the rest of the night together. He drove me home that night; we went on our first date two weeks later and were soon inseparable - much to the dismay of his parents who felt we were too young to be so serious. By the end of our freshman year in college we knew we wanted to be together forever. We somehow stayed together all through college - even though our schools then were about 50 miles apart. Five years and four months after we met, we were married. We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this summer.

Answer 9

me and my HS sweetheart have been together for over 4 years. We're at that point where we feel we are going to be together for an even longer time but we are still takin our time. We are only 22. There were some bumps in the road. Parents, hoes lol You'll know when you're relationship is strong enuff to make that step. But be patient and take your time.
