[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck finding young men who want to get married at 25. They are few and far between. [/quote]

THIS!!! I was desperate to get married at 24-25. The serious boyfriend I had at the time said he wanted to get married and made me believe we were working towards a future together once he was more financially stable so I stuck around til he dumped me when we were both 27. If I could go back and do it again I would have broken up with him when we werent engaged within two years. I know soo many women that end up with these guys that make them believe marriage is coming but they need to wait for whatever reason and waste yearrsss of their lives. [/quote]

I agree with this. My dh is a super awesome guy and was a perfect boyfriend. We started dating at 20. At 24 I asked him about marriage and he said he hadn't thought about it but didn't want to get married until 30. He had no reason "why" he didn't want to marry, just an age he "thought" he should marry at. He assured me that I was the one though. Oh hell no. I wasn't going to be strung along. I gave him 3 months and said I'd move onto greener pastures where they didn't have an arbitrary age in mind.

He even now talks about how irrational he was being. I think there's just a stigma against men marrying younger.

I've known lots of guys like yours pp who dumped the perfect girlfriend and then quickly married the next one that came along. And they aren't happier than they would have been with the first girl. [/quote]

Similar. My DH (then BF) was planning to go to law school and wanted me to move out of state with him. We had already been dating 3 years. I said not without a ring. He agreed. [/quote]
