At what age did you meet your first long term relationship partner and are you still with them ?

Question

Is there really such thing as too young to get married ?

Answer 1

I was 17 when I met him. We were together 3 years engaged to be married one month after I turned 20. No, I am not still with him. We broke up 3 months before our wedding. We lived together for a year. We were both too young and immature. We had no idea what commitment and love was really about. I was very sad at the time, but I recovered. I found my true mate when I was 23. Been with him for 10 years now (married 9) and loving him more everyday.

Answer 2

It was 9 years ago, when I met the girls who I DID love, had more great times than I can remember, got a house together, my little boy came along in the journey, started drifting apart, split up and I think we both regret it but there's been too much water under the bridge. I will always remember her, but she changed and so did I probably. we all change as we grow older. I don't have any regrets and if it was meant to be it would still be.

Marriage is only an expensive piece of paper that you get after a stress related day, but I've not been married so it's just a guess. I was, however in a relationship for 8 years, but guess what ? I'm free and single at long last. I hope to find Miss Right, but is there such a thing ? Time will tell.

Good luck with your life, live it to the full.

Answer 3

I met my first (and only) long term partner when I was 14. I'm 17 now, and still with her. I think that there is such a thing as being too young to get married, but the age is different for everyone. If there's one thing I've realized is that people change over time, especially in their younger years. And unfortunately, people can sometimes grow apart from each other.

I don't know old you are, but I would recommend you at least finish college before you make any final decisions, or if you're not going to college, wait until you're about 22-25, and see where you're at then. Really think about whether or not that person is right for you, whether you could settle down and grow old with them, whether or not they'd be a good parent, etc. But above all, ask yourself, do you really love that person, and do the two of you have a healthy relationship?

Anyway, I wish you luck in the desicion you make.

Answer 4

I met my first long term relationship partner (5 years) when I was 17. And even at 21 I wasn't ready to be married, and even though he was 29, he wasn't ready, either.

I had a hell of a lot of growing up to do. It's actually a good thing that he and I broke up, and I started dating my (now) husband. I was 22, he was 30, we worked through some problems in our relationship that made us both a lot better as people and as partners, and we have been happily together for the past 14 years. We got engaged in 2001 and married in 2006 (the wedding would have been sooner but for financial difficulties).

Yes, I think there is definitely such a thing as "too young to get married". Just as high school is only four years out of your life that really don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things (even though it feels like it's "the end of the world" if something bad happens in high school), your first relationsihp is rarely "the one" because there's so much to learn from it.

Answer 5

I met my first long term partner when I was 15 we were together for 3years and then we broke up I still love him deeply but there is such a thing a being too young to get married... it is worth while to wait for a while before juming into something as serious as marriage.. i was married at 19 and I tell you what nothing could have prepared me for what marriage throws at you and I wish I could have waited a little longer but i'm in it for the long haul now and trying to make my marriage a strong as it can be

Answer 6

My first long term was when I was 14 and he was 17 it lasted 10 years then we went our separate ways thinking we were too young to settle down Now we are married to other people but have run into each other again after 15 years apart. Now looking back we are both wishing we had tried al ittle harder to make things work all those years ago. Sometimes you don't really know what you have until it's gone and unavailable to you.

People say not to get into a marriage when your young but as some of the other answers have shown you never know what can happen in life and if you don't take a chance when you have the opportunity you may regret it for the rest of your life.

Answer 7

At 14 years old. We were together until he went in the Army. He was 3 years older than me. I went to visit my Brother in Texas and fell in love with the man I would marry. When I told my high school boyfriend. He was hurt, but had been seeing someone else overseas and thought I would not find out.
So although we did remain friends for years, and we dated again after my husband passed away, we eventually went our own ways.
Lila, I am 56 now and been married a total of 3 times. I am the mother of 2 girls and they each gave me 2 beautiful grandsons, For a total of 4! I won the jack pot!
