Search Results: age for marriage

My aunt was raised with overprotective parents. They wouldn't even let her sleepover not even with a female friend. She would secretly date her HS sweetheart. Her uncle caught them making out once and made a big scene, dragging her all the way home, yelling about how that's not how young ladies behave, told her parents about it, etc. She got banned from seeing her boyfriend. Her parents were too focused on her waiting till marriage, never drinking nor smoking, that type of upbringing.

Result:
She didn't wait till marriage.
Her HS sweetheart wasn't her first and only boyfriend ever.
She was into parties for a bit as an adult, enjoying the freedom she never had.
She married her 4th boyfriend, a very liberal man.

Liberal/permissive style
She and her husband only had a daughter and she was raised in the liberal manner. She was allowed to go on camping trips and excursions (far from home) with friends, went out on a date at the age of 14 for the first time, didn't have a curfew and at the age of 16 got lectured about safe sex. My aunt didn't want to make the same mistake her family did to her.

Result:
She got pregnant at the age of 18 with her 3rd boyfriend.
Her ex boyfriend still pays child support and is in contact with the child often.
She's now 27, married with another guy and they have 2 kids.
My aunt and her husband thinks they exceeded on her liberalism.

Obviously neither extreme is good but which do you think is worse? Overprotective or very liberal parents?

I've been friends with my bestfriend for over 10 years
We are the same age (25)

I've had 3 relationships
she's never had a boyfriend

she's met all my ex boyfriends

She always tells me that she's not into relationships
So she has one night stands/friends with benefits
Never met any of her guys

But she is bisexual
So she's hooked up with guys and girls
she's kind of a tomboy

I've had some messy breakups
And in every relationship, there's always ups and downs
Its normal
Since she's my best friend, I tell her whenever Im going through relationship problems

But what annoys me is that.. she's always negative about relationships and guys when she's never had a relationship before

She would tell me like:
- oh guys are such idiots/always just want to f**k
- all your relationships are shit and never worked out.. thats why I dont want to be in one
- marriage will never work out, I dont know why people get married
- I love bad boys, I always fall for them
- judging from your relationships, all guys are not worth it
- I dont want a relationship, so Im sleeping around.. so much better
- why do you date gym guys? They are all f**kboys and messed up

It just annoys me when she says those things
