Search Results: point to relationships with no future

No, I don't plan on getting married right now but I'm not going to lie when I say it's been in the back of my head for the future. Been seeing each other since September of last year. If you met us in real life you'd think we were already married. She's still in school but will be making good money as a Nurse soon enough. I'll be working in the engineering field very soon and have a good salary. Would be able to easily support us both while she finishes. Still want to go to grad school though.

I've experience more life than most guys my age. I was in Marine Corps after high school. I've experience a lot of crazy party years. I've had non-stop promiscuous sex when I was single. I've had previous relationships. Went through the police academy when I originally thought I was getting into law enforcement so I got to experience that even though I've decided to go with engineering. Going to be working in my field soon. (maybe reserve law enforcement later on). Right now, I don't feel I'd be giving up anything. I'd be excited moving into the next chapter so to speak.

If everything keeps going forward, I might be considering to make it official a year or so from now. I'm almost certain she would say yes. It's just a thought as of right now, nothing certain. I know the conversation between us is only imminent at this point. She's 21. I'm 23. What are the benefits of marrying at a younger age? What are the pitfalls? Any first hand experience?

I never understood why people get into relationship with people they have no future with. Especially seeing most long term relationship fail. So what is the point dating a guy or girl for say months or years when you are going to break up anyways?
