most of those are going to be failed relationships, your tastes and wants change so drastically in the coming years after high school and your hormones are raging right after high school that most of those things you wanted you’ll probably regret them after, plus your frontal lobe only fully develops i think at like 25 so who you are when you’re 18 is usually not the person you will be at 25
I’m not condoning the choices I made for the specific situation I was in but I just wanna say it’s possible but VERY RARE to have a successful marriage with a high school sweetheart. Sincerely someone who got married at 17 and has been married for almost 10 years 🫶 (he was in the military) (I have 2 degrees so I’m not a trad wife)
99% of people will never know the love and peace that comes from early marriages. Especially sex after marriage. So because you will never experience that, it’s not hard to believe you could never understand or have your mind changed. But just know that there’s many good reasons why you should do this. The more people you are with, the harder it will be to understand because you are not completely whole in any relationship you have. Not here to argue, just my two cents.
i’m not saying it’s impossible, because like religion can hold a person to be a certain way for a long time but most of the time they will both change as people and the relationship will dwindle out or if there’s a child in the mix then that how you can get a “broken home” in a sense, think about how many people had kids when they were 18 and either just abandon the kid or just don’t really speak to them because they turned out to be different people later on
i also have a lot of angry people dm’ing me telling me i’m wrong and don’t know what i’m talking about, i think human psychology speaks for itself, when you’re young you don’t think all the way clearly and think you’ll be this person forever but you won’t and you usually only level out yourself at like 25
Yeah fighting and potentially killing people at 18 isn’t okay either? just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s not immoral 18 year olds are still mentally developing a bunch they’re is a power imbalance from a developing 18 year old and a fully developed middle aged man. He made more of a decision then you did
also yes people that are 18 can join the military but you should ask them how their mental health has been affected after doing such things, i find it weird hoe you think this is like normal? like he was 22 when you were born, doesn’t that strike you as odd? like he was already an adult and he like chose out a baby and said i was that one when she’s 18… this is making my stomach turn
yes but you’ll change gradually overtime while a not fully developed 18 year old will change more drastically until they hit about 25 or 26, so when they say “i do” it’s hormone fueled, not fueled by a life long commitment, that why everyone in the comments are saying it does not last
