Is it better to have known your partner/spouse when you both were young? (Page 2)

Question

I am 28 and never had a real girlfriend. When I meet a woman now, me and her will not have that sweet sentiment of knowing each other when we were young. I think that makes the relationship so much sweeter and something to help hold it together stronger. I don't know. Me and a woman can never say we have those roots of being close when we were young.

I really suppose it depends. Love is about your journey with who your soul mate is. Not someone else’s.  Everyone’s stories are special.

I don't think so, it's exciting to meet someone new and get to know them. If you already know them, there is nothing to get to know..

Yes, I regret having only made friends among girls since I was too shy before adolescence, must be nice to be dating or married to a childhood friend

It doesn’t matter at all. When you meet someone that you actually vibe with, you will feel like you’ve always known the person, even if you barely met them a month ago.

menina · Answer

I guess so. It must be nice to have a history with your partner/spouse.

It's the ideal, but that doesn't mean you can't have just as great of a relationship with someone you met when you're older. I didn't meet my husband until I was 38.

I don't think it matters. Plenty of people wouldn't have dated when younger because of different social groups.

Very few people have long -term relationships with others they knew when they were young.

My girlfriend and I both agree that if we had met even a year before we did, we probably would have never dated

Most of the young couples I know have already split up

I do not think so...

Introspective_ · Answer

In my experience, no. It doesn't make any difference when you know someone for a long time or just met them. I met someone when I was young but had a bad experience with her.

Twalli · Answer

It's not worse to know them when you two were young, but it's not objectively better.

No, it’s better to start fresh.
