[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I know who married that young are divorced now.   [/quote]

I feel like if you got married in you early twenties and are in your late 30s/early 40s now, you've gone the distance and are very unlikely to get divorced at this point.[/quote]

I agree.  I'm tired of everyone assuming young people get divorced.  I married at 23, my husband was 25.  We are very happily married.  Many of our friends have similar stories.

I don't post about it on FB, but sometimes people really are happy.

Go make your own happiness.  Don't rationalize your unhappiness by assuming that other people are hiding their struggles. [/quote]

It's all a gamble. Met STBXH when 24 and married at 27. Three kids in my 30s. Separating now after 17 years of marriage. We're both excited to be free of each other. We grew apart over the years and want different things for our future. I wonder if we were in our 30s when we met if we'd have a better idea of how each wanted to live in their working years and retirement. [/quote]

Yeah but I'm ASSuming that your marriage was troubled during your 30s and that you knew that. Whereas people love to post on here about couples who married early, "just you wait, you're totally getting divorced when the kids move out in your early fifties" even when you explain that you've been in a happy marriage all through your twenties and thirties.
