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. </p> <p>So I think that we just got really lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1885719 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 10:56:35 +0000 MrsKoala 1885719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1885691 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 10:48:37 +0000 cascademom 1885691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1885673 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 10:44:28 +0000 snowjewelz 1885673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, b/c we met in my mid twenties! I think 26? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884225 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 11:34:03 +0000 namaste 1884225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884098 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:36:27 +0000 autumnlove 1884098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 and 20. We got married at 32 &amp; 34. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884028 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 10:01:53 +0000 .twist. 1884028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I wish I would have gone on some more girls trips, that's not really his fault. Rather my ex's fault. lol! </p> <p>We were 21 &amp; 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. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884021 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:56:22 +0000 annie624 1884021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884019 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:55:31 +0000 Ree723 1884019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1884006 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:49:41 +0000 ShootingStar 1884006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883947 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:07:42 +0000 cyndistar3 1883947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 14 and he was 16.

I was 26 and he was in his 30s, for us it couldn't have been more perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883938 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 09:00:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1883938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883913 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:38:35 +0000 mediagirl 1883913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883910 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:36:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 1883910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 24 and he was 30, we met at the right time in both our lives I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883889 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:18:28 +0000 loki 1883889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.<br /> my early 20s were AMAZING... i travelled to europe &amp; 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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883886 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 08:17:45 +0000 yin 1883886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883822 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:49:06 +0000 ElbieKay 1883822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883816 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:41:44 +0000 loveisstrange 1883816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883802 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:30:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 1883802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL no.

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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883786 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:23:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1883786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so/page/2#post-1883780 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:22:05 +0000 krispi 1883780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met my current husband when I was 32 and he was 34, so not too young. :)</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883771 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:18:00 +0000 BandDmommy 1883771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we meet when we were 27. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883763 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:12:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1883763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we weren't too young. We met when we were 27 &amp; 28. We actually know only one person in common and he's more of an acquaintance. I am really happy that I had a college experience totally separate from my husband's- any husband for that matter. College was about me- point, blank, period. </p> <p>We often talk about wether we would have been friends if let's say we grew up together or attended the same college. I think uur less mature selves probably would have picked on or intentionally ignored each other. We met at the right time to have a romantic relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883751 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:03:55 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1883751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 22 and he was about to turn 23. We had both just graduated college a few weeks earlier, and we fell in love hard. We've been together every day since we met, literally, and moved from just meeting to being serious pretty fast.</p> <p>It felt so natural and I wouldn't change a thing, but looking back it seems like we were awfully young to be making such huge decisions.</p> <p>We met at 22, engaged at 23, married at 24 and Chloe was born when I was 27, Charlotte when I was 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883749 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 07:00:54 +0000 Mamaof2 1883749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I agree! We met when I was 28 and if I met him earlier in life it wouldn't have worked out. I was in a much better place when I met him and it was just perfect timing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883708 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 06:00:14 +0000 jedeve 1883708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met at 22. I am glad we did and have no regrets about getting married youngish at 24. But I do kinda feel like I missed out on my twenties. After college I did two years in a volunteer corps, then for married and went to grad school. I developed a lot of health problems then and things were pretty stressful for the next two years. Then I graduated and was pregnant, and now have two under two. </p> <p>I get kinda jealous of my friends who are able to travel or have careers and money. </p> <p>I regret more daring my college boyfriend for four years. I think I missed out on a lot of other experiences and friendships because of that. It wasn't a healthy relationship. I don't regret meeting DH when I did, but I really wish I had pursued more opportunities in college. I've actually really been struggling with that this week. I see friends on Facebook from college all getting together and I wish I had made an effort to be closer to them instead of hanging our with my boyfriend. </p> <p>I am glad we had our kids when we did but on the other hand I realize I've given up a lot to do so. I know on the whole it's worth it, but that doesn't stop me from missing other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883703 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 05:45:54 +0000 Dandelion 1883703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was 28, he was 30. </p> <p>But, I WAS too young when I met my first husband at 19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-too-young-when-you-met-your-so#post-1883696 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 05:38:11 +0000 ValentineMommy 1883696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. I was 17, he was....14. Lol. He had a thing for me, and I ignored it (being that I was a senior and he was a freshman). We got together 12 years later. </p>
