I am 19 years old and I have been with the same guy for 6 years. Yea, since I was 13. We plan on getting married next year and starting a family. I love him very much but so many people keep telling me that it will never work because niether one of us have been with other people. We were both virgins when we met and i feel we have become best friends in these last few years. I have very few girlfriends, most of my friends are his friends to and they are mostly all guys so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this.
So my question is, Can you really find true love with the first person you date? or do you really have to go wild to meet someone special?
When vows are exchanged, "till death do us part" they are spoken with sincerity and the hope of carrying them out till the end, not thru divorce, but thru the passing of either spouse. Sometimes it doesn't work like that. We go into a marraige with all good intentions of forever after, but we can't see the future. If we could see the future, there wouldn't be so many marraiges.
I married my "sweetheart" at the age of 20, we met when i was just 9 years old. At 9 your a baby i know, but we hung around together and he would ride me on his bicycle, lol. We shared a kiss when i was 13, then it was on. He took my virginity at 14 and gave me his senior ring at 17, we were inseperable. I got pregnant thru all this, but had an abortion at 16. He stayed by my side thru it all, and it was strictly my decision to have the procedure, not his. We got pregnant again when i was 19, this time we got married and our son was born 5 months later.
Thru the years, sadly enough, we grew apart. Either one of us ever had the pleasure to let our hair down. We never partied, we never really hung out with friends without the other one being around, and we never got to be with any other person, romantically or sexually. 7 years into the marraige, the picky fighting started which just got worse. We both found fault with everything. Something that never bothered me, all of a sudden became an issue. Whiskers in the sink was never a problem, all of a sudden it was, his stinky feet used to be a joke, now it made me sick. He started staying out after work, i was glad as i started to enjoy it when he was not home.
I had an affair with our neighbor, he found out and the sh*t really started to roll down hill. We were done. He served me with papers and moved out.
I loved him so much once upon a time, we were both virgins as well. Everything we did together was our first.
So....i don't know. It's wonderful to marry and stay that way, so many have, but think about it.

You can definitely find someone that you love with the first person that you doubt. You don't have to go wild to meet someone special. The only thing I'd say you might be rushing is getting married so early! You aren't even in your 20s yet so you haven't had a good chance to go out and explore the world. I am not saying that what you have doesn't and won't work--in fact, I hope it does. But you should definitely think about having a family later on. Most marriages that last longer and that are happier take place when both participants are 25 or older. What do you think?
