So my boyfriend [16] gave me a promise ring that we'll get married one day.
I'm 15, I know that's kind of young to be making a commitment. But he is first person I have ever truly loved. Do you think that's too young to be committing myself for life to someone?
Personally, I absolutely think it's too young. However....my parents got married very young and as a result had a lot of financial problems when I was growing up. They weren't established enough if their individual lives to be able to support a family together. They ended up getting divorced. I know a lot of my friends (18-25) are getting married right now. I think it's ridiculous. Why would you want to tie yourself down to one person for the rest of your life....when you haven't even started your life on your own? Going through the rest of high school and college without being able to date around? For me it's out of the question. I'm 18 right now, and I've been with my boyfriend for almost 7 months. I'm already feeling like I'm too committed....and I'm giving serious thought to whether I want to stick with him any longer....solely on the principle of we're young....too young..to be this committed.
Now with that being said....myself at 18 and I feel I'm too young myself....I certainly don't think it's wise decision for you at 15. It's a cute idea, and don't get me wrong...if you decide to stick with him...I wish you two the best and I hope you guys make it. But I highly believe that as you get older you'll have a better idea of all the different sorts of people you'll be exposed to....and who knows...your Mr. Right could be in this ring you have now....or he could be many rings down the line. Either way....when it's right you'll know...and usually you don't know Mr. Right until you've known Mr. Wrong....which is hard with you being so young.
:o)
(Rating: 5) Thanks, well I have never been one to jump boyfriends quickly, I know I am young, I don't plan on getting married at 18, 19, or 20. 21 at least. But, he's definitely different. Thanks :]
