I met my current husband when I was 32 and he was 34, so not too young.
However, I met my ex-husband when I was 17 and he was 18, and that was too young for me. Even though we dated 4.5 years before we got married, I didn't have enough experience to recognize what should have been lots of red flags.
-
@krispi: I dated a guy for 5 yrs between ages 20-25 and then we broke up - best decision of my life. Looking back there is no way our marriage would have lasted even though at that time I really did want to marry him!
-
We were 16 when we met and 17 when we started dating. I definitely don't think it was too young! I love that we have all of those years of memories together. We didn't actually get married until recently, having spent the better part of a decade together. Some people might say that we missed out on some key experiences because we have been together for so long, but I just can't buy into that.
-
LOL no. I was 30 and he was 34.
-
We met at barely 18 and went to senior prom together. Yeah, we were really young.... but considering it been 8.5 years, obviously we werent too young.
-
I wish we had been slightly younger. I was 32 and he was about to turn 34 when we met. As a result, I was almost 37 when I had my first child.
-
I was 18 (turning 19), and DH was 22. While we were young, I would like to think we were more mature than average. I don't regret meeting him in college, but we did run into some early struggles with me being in school and him starting to work. It would have been nice to be in the same place in life.
-
we met when we were 19 but only remained casual aquaintances for quite a while. we started dating when i was 26 and he was 27 and i'm so glad we didn't meet earlier... we often talk about how it never would have worked.
my early 20s were AMAZING... i travelled to europe & asia, i moved across the country just for an adventure, i went on girls trips to vegas and san fran and LA. i just generally had the best time ever and i'm sooooo happy i had that time before settling down with my husband! -
I was 24 and he was 30, we met at the right time in both our lives I think.
-
In a different way, yes. We met when I was 22, we were in mutual friends' wedding. 3 years later, we ended up going away with those same friends and got together. We were both in a better place and I was more mature and ready for a relationship at that point.
-
I was 20 and he was 23. I was raised "old", and he acts like a big kid all the time so not really? lol
-
Nope. I was 26 and he was in his 30s, for us it couldn't have been more perfect.
-
I was 14 and he was 16. While yes, we were young I don't regret anything
-
I wasn't too young - I was 29. He was 23, and at the time he seemed sooo young. We started dating 3 years later and he had matured a lot. Now at 30 and 36 we seem the same age :). In some ways I wish we could have started things earlier, but ultimately I'm glad we didn't because I think you need that time in your 20s to see what's out there and to be young and single.
-
Nope - I was 29, he was 26. He is mature for his years, which is good because had the situation been reversed, we would have been in trouble! I was nowhere near ready to get in a serious relationship when I was 26, but by 29, I was getting there....and he just helped me further along that path...
-
We were 20 when we met. I agree--it's so fun being able to reminisce about college days! And I also agree about it being hard to plan for life after college when you're serious with your SO. We got engaged right after college. We probably would have dated for much longer, but felt rushed/pressured to have to make a decision about where we wanted to live/if we wanted to live together/grad school/etc... It was a stressful time! I'm ultimately really glad things ended up the way they did. If we had stuck to our own individual plans, I'm not so sure we would've made it (I had plans to stay in the South, while he originally planned on moving to Colorado).
-
While I wish I would have gone on some more girls trips, that's not really his fault. Rather my ex's fault. lol!
We were 21 & 27, respectively. I don't think he was too young, and I am kind of an "old soul", so to speak, so I don't think I was too young, either. I definitely wouldn't change anything about our relationship timeline.
-
18 and 20. We got married at 32 & 34.
-
Yes, I was 15 and he was turning 17. We've been together (on and off of course) since then but we have such a good friendship that has made our relationship and business partnership work. It's been fun seeing him prepare for fatherhood these past few months, especially knowing he was a stupid kid once lol
-
No, b/c we met in my mid twenties! I think 26?
-
I was 24 and he was 26 when we met. I don't think that we were too young. We had a few financial and emotional roadblocks before getting engaged. Once both of us got jobs and got past our pasts, we were ready to marry at 29 (me) and 31 (him).
-
We were 25 and 27 and we met at the right time. If we had met any earlier, we wouldn't have been ready for each other.
-
Yeah, we met right after high school. We were very young, but I think we got lucky - we've aged together really well. We still have really compatible hopes and dreams and are really happy with our life. It's sad - most of our friends married in their early/mid twenties as we did, but not all of them have fared as well. My dearest friend is currently divorcing her husband for this reason - they partnered way young, and their relationship didn't really mature with them.
So I think that we just got really lucky.
