[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people that DH and I know who got married young got divorced and are remarried.

Omg I can’t imagine if I had married the ding dong boyfriend I thought I was going to marry in college.

The difference is -
If one is dating with the intention of marriage, you would not have bothered with the ding dong boyfriend at all.

I think our choices reflect our priorities.

There are people who approach high school with the long view - they do well to get into a particular kind of college. Or the are choosing a trade route. Either way, thet are creating a road map and not passively letting life happen to them. And their parents help with that planning.
Yet most people do not take the same long view about dating in college or in their 20s. They only start to date for it when the fertility window is closing - procrastinate.

And dont give me BS about maturity. The immature and petty people I knew in my 20s are still immature and petty in their 50s. People are remarkably consistent.

American culture has been pushing the message of prolonged adolescence into our 30s contrary to biology.[/quote]
