I am only 19, but I think I have found the one. I love her and I know she loves me. Its calmer than my other relationships - I dont angst over how much she likes me, whether she's cheating or anything because I trust her. We both disgust other people with how slushy we can be with each other, even though normally I would be the one disgusted by such behaviour. I've been with her a year and shes spent every night of the past couple of months at mine. I'm not bored of her at all. (And the sex is amazing!)
I was just wondering, does this sound like it would last? Do I just sound like an infatuated teenager to you guys? Honest opinions please, I trust your judgement! Sadly my grandparents didnt live long enough for me to be asking them questions like this :(Relationship advice from you guys because I figure you would know?
There's no guarantees in life. My brother was 18 when he got married, celebrating 50 yrs. this summer, he only knew her 4 months. I was 18, married 20 yrs., divorced 21 yrs., we dated 3 months. Lies upon lies broke the trust in my marriage, there was no cheating going on. Liking to do things together, love, trust, %26amp; sex are important and fitting in somewhat with each others families. Looking back, if I had waited a year, I would have left at 6 months. I think after a year you know someone well enough to decide to stay or go. Follow your heart %26amp; mind.Relationship advice from you guys because I figure you would know?
You are young but not too young to have found true love that can last a lifetime. The ';slushy'; might not last but the other things you mentioned - trust, respect, love, devotion, continued interest in each other - all this is the basis for a lasting relationship. Good luck and my best wishes to you.
If after a year you arent bored and still feel the same way its a pretty good sign you are compatible and have a good relationship. However its still early days, most people get bored with each other and divorce around the 7 year stage.
Dont over analyze or angst over it, go with the flow and have a good time and see where it goes. You are young and dont need to be making lifetime commitments yet.
Will it work out? Only time will tell. To me, it seems like you guys are in lust and need to spend several more years together, talking and doing other things besides having sex, before actually committing in any way.
You didn't state your g/f's age, but would think the same as you.
Both of you, get your education in and see what happens.
You are 'in love'. And you naturally like the idea of being 'in love' but I hope you know that it is different to loving someone.
She makes you feel comfortable. Apart from the ';amazing sex'; do you make her feel comfortable ?
They use to call it Puppy Love in high school, I think Paul Anka sang about it. One thing is for sure you will know soon enough. Our emotions play tricks on us so go slow, right now I think it has a lot to do with the physical side of the relationship.. Poppy
As you mature, you will change during the next few years...and so will she. Look at what you have in common and realize some of these things will change as your outlook on life changes.
yes but do you like her -- love is one thing -- lust is even better -- but do you like her!!! if you do not it is going to be a living hell!!!!
It took 5yrs before buying my girlfriend an engagement ring pal. Now after 40+yrs of marriage,it appears taking our time,paid off.
Oh these are the good days so enjoy and learn but do seriously take precautions about starting a family as you are far too young and the responsibility is too great. Plan your outings and have fun---- be active and tire your selves out. Camping out is a good experience and national parks are so interesting but you do need to plan so that there is lots happening. Good luck
Well, maybe you have found the one--maybe not. You do sound like an infatuated teenager. But that's not a bad thing.
At nineteen you can well afford to see where your relationship will go. Enjoy it. Don't worry about whether or not she's the one.
And, what do you talk about between rounds of all that amazing sex? Is it important? Is it something you'd want to come home at night and listen to for 30 or 40 years?
I suppose I should tell you that I married two weeks before I turned 20. My husband was 23. We've been together 41 years. That's him you hear snoring in the background.
Can you spend an evening with her without any sex?? Do you have similar tastes in recreation [i.e., do you like to go roller skating together, or bicycling, or hiking?]. Do you enjoy the same types of movies? or of theater? or the same religious practices?
A successful long-term relationship [marriage!] includes a lot more than sex. Of course the sex should be good, but it will wane as you get older, especially after the children come along. You'll both be so busy earning a living and caring for the children that you'll need to have some type of relaxation you can do that you both enjoy. Please make that part of your life a habit right now.
Unfortunately, marriages that are built on sex alone don't last very long.
That's why living together before marriage usually results in divorce later on. You need to know each other and love each other's weaknesses before you settle down to the ';icing on the cake'; of great sex, after marriage.
Live for today %26amp; don't worry about tomorrow. If you are currently with a person who brings you joy %26amp; happiness...then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it. It's a part of living %26amp; you will never know what works %26amp; what doesn't unless you give it a try.
Just be smart about things like BIRTH CONTROL. Nothing changes a relationship faster than an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. If it happens (which it might), you both must have a good foundation of trust %26amp; open communication in order to get through it.
It sounds like you are off to a great start %26amp; if it only lasts a lifetime...that's the very best! Yet, if it only lasts another month...then that's what it was meant to be %26amp; you will always have the memory of the wonderful person that came into your life.
Don't dwell on the bad stuff. Embrace to goodness of today %26amp; hold on tight to the person who is next to you...but learn to let go if they ask you to, %26amp; that's the way life is. It's a CONSTANT LEARNING EXPERIENCE!
Nothing stays the same forever.
Everything must change %26amp; accepting change is what makes all relationships successful.
