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)

No seriously. Like… wow I wonder why the divorce rate is so high it’s almost like people are getting married before they can even legally drink alcohol. It’s almost like people are so focused on “true love” they forget how humans develop and change.

I’ll def marry my high school sweetheart and if I didn’t go to college out of state we’d probably get married at 20 and 21 but I am out of state so we’ll get married after college. Only reasoning for after high school is if you’re born in the 1930s or some crazy abusive home life

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

This is coming from genuine curiosity but do you not see any issue coming from the age cap at the age you were at? Like with your baby are you going to be okay with them dating an almost 50 year old once the reach 18?

Regardless he shouldn’t have gone for it? Mentally there is zero difference between a 17 year old minor and an 18 year old adult. There is a significant power imbalance you may have fell for it I hope that your child does not do the same. Poor baby

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.

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
