Dear young girl, if you are under 18 years old - PLEASE don't get married so young in life. I know you love him but if your love for his and his love for you is lasting - you should wait until you are 21-22 to marry. So much will happen in your life during this period of time and you don't want to be married. Also you feelings may change on what you want in a man/relationship and you don't want to get a divorce in your life. You don't.
I know that you mother is medaling in your life but you know what - she loves you. She wants the best for you. If she wasn't medaling and wasn't interested in your life and plans - then I would be concerned because she wasn't being your mother.
Just wait. There is no reason to marry so young. Non. Zero. I absolutely don't agree with living with a man you aren't married to personally - however, I must say it will reveal a lot to you about married life and committment.
Nobody who has been at your age and in love (which I deeply was at 18) want you to look back on your years of late teens/early twentys and regret decision you made. We want you to live it up - enjoy your freedom. This is a hugh learning and growing time for you ahead. Embrace it - without being tied down to one person. You can still have him as your boyfriend - I'm not saying break up cause I couldn't have done it at that age but I'm saying please wait - for your benefit.
I broke up with the guy I dates for 9 years (age 15-24) cause my life, desires in what I wanted, my dreams and hopes all changed. We grew apart cause he didn't grow. I've done so much since then - travel to Europe, exciting vacations (not expensive - just exciting), had jobs and friends I never would have had if I stayed with this guy or married young (my family doesn't believe in divorce so it would have been extra hard to extricate myself from him).
I look at the things I've done, people that have enriched my life and I know that I made the right decision.
Best of luck to you! You have your whole life ahead of you!
I think you are perhaps to young, there is more in this world than a boyfriend. I'm sure you have any more goals to accomplish before you settle down and literally give your life to your husband and eventually your kids. I think your mom is just worried that you might make the same mistake she made, anyhow mother does know best. Your mom is just doing your a job as a mom and its to give advice through things she has been to. Because your are the last girl she's also afraid to see you go.If you and your boyfriend really love each other like you say you do, you can wait a couple of years until you guys are both settled. if he loves you hell wait for you. what's the hurry you have the rest of your lives to be together. if you are really sure of your decision though I think you should tell your mom that youve thought about it and that your sure that's what you want to do, and not to worry about you because youve taken everything she's taught you and your putting it to practice in your own life. tell her she can be your advice but no longer your guidance because your grown up and its time for you to make your own decisions or mistakes. Because she is your mom you have to be gooshi you know how mothers all they are all corny. so yah good luck :)
I know am young well we both are but this last 3 years being together have been wonderful I known him for 6 years 3 of beginning friends and 3 2gether me and him have thought everything and have our down payment on some stuff we both work have stable jobs and we can't wait every time we are not 2gether we are not in a good mood we do have our little arguments once in awhile but not often. There are times and my mom needs to understand that am not her little girl and I've grown up. were almost live 2gether - 4 months ago
Boys, lets say you dumped your girlfriend a few months ago (3) because you got sick of missing her and you didn't feel the same. You two would makeout...
