It's true. An I'd never have a go at you. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 545 Joined: 19 Jun 2008 | After thinking about it a bit more, I've realised I wouldn't have a clue what to do in a relationship anymore. I've been single for a fairly decent chunk of time now, and I'll be damned if I can remember much. |

Hey! |
Paperboy  Posts: 24 Joined: 30 Sep 2008 | I've a great understanding girlfriend that I've been seeing since June now. When I say understanding, I mean she's cool with me going out with my best mate to stalk one of my other best mates*. (I wish I was kidding...) *It's the only way we could think of to properly prank him. |

actually, there is something wrong with getting married at a young age. 17 is entirely too young. You don't even really know who YOU are at that age, let alone a prospective spouse. I've seen entirely too many friends get married quickly, realize they are totally opposite and incompatible, and then get divorced. Seriously, move in with the person if you love them. Don't rush into a marriage, they are costly and stressful events. Don't have a kid with them, this could just lead to a forced marriage. There is really no need to start that breeding crap until the mid twenties anyways. Definately avoid it if you are still in school. Nothing ruins your academic ambitions quicker than a baby. This is the 21st century. We don't have to live bound by the mindless and stupid traditions of the past. |

You can't make a generalization by just one person. |

Psychology classes for the win: The NORMAL person is just discovering who they are at age 18. The average woman doesn't reach FULL maturity until age 25, and she goes through MANY personality changes between reaching adulthood and full maturity at age 25. Guys aren't much different. I got married at age 20, my ex-wife was 18 when we married. Ask any Escapist who has been here for more than 6 months, and they will tell you all about why I think getting married young is the worst mistake you can make. |
Paperboy Posts: 50 Joined: 29 Sep 2008 | Ok. Why? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3903 Joined: 26 Feb 2008 | I sent a PM, since the more experienced Escapists have heard this story five or ten times, as it happened... |

Because Darth Mobius is a horrible human being with absolutely no empathy for other people, and you really should not listen to anything this person has to say about life. I've been here far longer than six months, and the reason he thinks getting married young is the worst mistake you can make is because he's a mess to begin with. +++++ Like you said, there are plenty of people who get married at 25 and wind up divorced two years later anyway. Like you also said, every person is different. Funny how at 18 we don't know ourselves enough to get married, yet supposedly we do know ourselves enough to pick a major and go to college and have a career plan. Fact is, no one really knows who they are until they make middle management. Anyone who thinks there are necessarily more changes before 25 than after is just talking out of their ass. |
Paperboy  Posts: 27 Joined: 19 Aug 2008 | No girfreind at the moment, but that's because I'm one of those people who refuses to do something just because everyone else has, by that I mean I'm not going to go out of my way to get a girlfreind when every girl I know is either a bitch, ugly, or completely uninterested in me. |

When I was enrolling in college this year (I moved and changed schools during the summer) it was mentioned that the average college student changes their major something like 3-7 times during their college studies. Furthermore, Don't start up on my daughter again. |

Wasn't planning on it. Don't know why you're bringing it up. |

I second that, why go out with someone if you know it ain't gonna work. I usually get called picky but I just think I'm avoiding pointless and superficial relationships. |
Beat Writer Posts: 150 Joined: 10 Aug 2008 | Yep it's not you it's them.(if I new how to do a rolleyes smiley there would be lots of them here) Who needs lots of sex and companionship in their lives? It's much better "keepin it real" cause your mum says your too good for any of those girls who have no interest in you whatsoever. Picky = Aint no one interseted but i want to believe I'm not a loser |

Bit harsh I said I am called picky not I believe I am picky.Also I never said you shouldn't have relationships I just said its better to get into ones that could go somewhere instead of going out with someone who is a complete bore etc. |

Who the hell is David Bowie, i'm sorry but I'm a girl who watch a Caterpillar turn into a butterfly that suddenly been violated by a cat. But yes, I am lucky. |
Paperboy  Posts: 14 Joined: 22 Sep 2008 | Been married for a year and a half to a girl I dated for nearly eight years. I have to say, it was the best decision of my life. Nothing like a girl who prides herself on cooking, guitar, and gaming :D |

I did, and for 10 months now it has been the best decision I've ever made. Oh so I have to wait till my brain is developed? And Pavilion is right, no one will ever know who they are because we're constantly changing. |
Paperboy Posts: 15 Joined: 22 Sep 2008 | And I thought 18-20 is still too young for that... 17... o.O; |
Muckraker  Posts: 234 Joined: 6 Nov 2007 | Meh, a not -that- long ago culturally 14 was an acceptable age for marriage. |

(Pulls gun on self)
Ok, I'll add my two cents on this. Firstly congrats. I know everyone is different and what may be right for one might not work for another. So if you think my following comes off incorrect, sorry, that wasn't my point. Getting married young is not a good choice, well at least not while you still have a doubledigit number begining with 1. I'm a year older than you and I'm still finding myself. I've made a lot of changes to my life and still am trying to find my niche'. While being married is good, there's should be no real difference between that and a normal relationship aside from legalities. I would have waited for a bit until you know full well who you will be when you're 30 or so. Again, only my two cents. Your marriage is your own and it could be working for you. |

Depends on how relatively you see time :P 'Not that long ago'(say, 2-3000 years ago?) it was acceptable to marry at 9. Grats to Motokemu on the whole marriage at 17 thing I say. I couldn't do it personally but as long as they're happy, more power to them. It's not as if human relations are an exact science. You can't say "people shouldn't marry before x age" (obviously taking the law into account) simply because people and the bonds they form between each other will always be different. |
