High school Sweethearts
Do you guys believe that high school sweethearts can last throughout adulthood? I've heard from many people that if they end up getting married they'll just end up miserable. Or that most end after senior year.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
I believe in forever, I really do. I'm only young myself and I've been with my boyfriend for just over a year and we always talk about our future together and how we believe in forever. And when I read some of these responses about it happening for people, it really gives me hope. So what I say is, don't give up. If you want to spend your life with somebody, what's to stop you? So, fall in love and don't give up. I mean, me and my boyfriend sometimes have our rough patches and argue and get annoyed with each other but at the end of the day, the good times are what matter most. And I truly believe that we will grow old together because I am sure that is what I want.

My wife and i started dating our sophmore year in high school. We went to different colleges and could not handle it, so I transfered to be with her. We got married after college and have been married for two years. 9 years total being together. We have made it work so far but the odds are against it. We have had many close instances where we almost called it quits. I dont think we will make it but who knows. We are working at it but one thing about couples who start in high school is they do not know how to comunicate effectivly as adults.

umm..well some work out i know a few couples who are like in they're 50's and have raised families and are really happy:)

I believe so. Fifty percent of all marraiges end in a divorce anyway, so they could just be another statistic.

30 years and counting for me and mine!
You do a lot of changing though. Luck is when you both either change along with one another or at least tolerate the changes. That doesn't always happen. Takes work everyday...but a fun job. :)

Yes. I can think of three couples right off the bat who have been together since high school. And all three pairs have been together for at least twenty years.
Don't let people convince you that the odds are against you or whatever. Your first love is the most pure love because you're so young and untroubled by the real world. If you can hang on to that, you can get through anything. Your high school sweetheart is solid in your life right now and if it continues, it will be a constant stability for the rest of your life.

While I do believe that people can honestly love each other at any age, people change so much when they're young that shit happens and things end. Most of the time, they don't last. Do they ever? Yes, but the odds are against them and that's why it doesn't happen too often. When people get married really young, especially to someone they've been with since high school, many times they feel like they've missed out or wonder what it's like to be with someone else, and end up cheating or just being completely unhappy and resenting their spouse.

It's hard to have a long term relationship last through highschool. The tough thing is, college, its hard especially if your colleges are seperated from eachother. The important thing is, if you really think that they're the one try it, go for it, do not give up. I mean sure you're going to hit some bumps in the road but they'll be repaired soon. The whole marriage ending up miserable, well it all depends on the people in the relationship. If you really want it to work out, well it will, its going to take time, and i'll tell you now they're are goign to be the fights but just remember in the long run you are both in life together and not there to make eachother miserable but to help eachother through the rough times. Consider the relationship as a friendship, i mean hopefully the person is like your best friend you can tell them anything and feel ok with it, you can go on about life and have the conversation never end, i mean friends always have their drama and little fights but they always pull through and need eachother till the end.

Let me put it this way, love it love.. no matter what age you fall into it, its still the same thing. 40 year old couples love eachother just as much as 15 year old couples...despite what others may say. Love knows no boundaries or limits. Love is what you make it and what you think it is. Theres not definition, so if they love eachother from highschool and they really honestly do, then there is no reason why they couldnt make it. My cousin and her husband dated from 8th grade and they got married last year at the age of 25. They have never been happier. They could end after senior year but thats solely on a couples decision and circumstances.. so if you're highschool sweethearts and you want it to last, just try hard and do whatever it takes... Whatevers meant to be is meant to be..
goodluck

People like tricking themselves into believing whatever they want to believe, sometimes. Do some people make it? Absolutely.
But for most, dating in high school is just one step in learning how to socialize with people on a romantic basis.

Completely! My parents were high school sweethearts and they've been married for 21 years now. And my brother's bestfriend's sister is getting married to her boyfriend since 6TH GRADE! If the two are really in love then it can totally work out in marriage and everything. And most of the people that say it won't are older ones that either never had a high school sweet heart or had one but lost them.

deffenately could happen = )

Yes, I believe in high school sweethearts. My friend's parents are high school sweethearts & they've been married a very long time & they're still in love. It all depends on the couple though. Some relationships don't last after high school because someone in the relationship or both of them go to different colleges, move to another state, meet new people, etc.

It's certainly possible, but there are no guarantees in life. And it really depends on the couple; each relationship is different.

My parents were highschool sweethearts. They dated from when they were 13 until like now! =] Haha, they've been married for 34 years. I definately believe in highschool sweethearts. But some highschool relationships fall out of touch because of going to different colleges & meeting new people.
