[quote=Anonymous]I married my college bf. We started dating at the end of freshman year. He was only 17 and I was only 19. I felt a few times that we were too young to he that serious and tried breaking up, but it didn’t last. I’m so glad I was able to have the space to do that though.

After college he lived with his parents for a year and then went to grad school in the DC area for his PhD. I lived with my parents two years (one year of us being a 3 hr drive apart and one year of us being a 2 hr flight apart) before moving to DC. Even then I lived with friends from college.

I eventually bought a studio and also went to grad school.  We got married when I finished grad school - about 10 years after we started dating!

Although, by that point, we spent about 5 out of 7 nights together (some nights at his place and some at mine) we didn’t live together. I’m glad I had the experience of living with roommates and having some independence in DC and even buying my condo (which he eventually moved into).

Granted my oldest is only 13, but I wouldn’t want to create that pressure in a relationship for her. Housing and relationships are both so stressful anyway, and combining them so one is contingent on the other seems hard at a young age![/quote]
