Is it normal 18 and 25

Is it normal that I'm 18 going to be 19 in August finished one year of college and have been dating a 25 year old who is going to be 26 in July for 3 months now. I would say I am mature for my age and he is currently in the Air Force. Just honest opinions what do you think and our families know and mine just complain about do not run off and get married!

    Okay here's my serious answer...
    I don't see any problem with the age difference as long as it works but there are other problems that arise with dating military that you need to ask yourself if you're ready to handle them before you get too involved with this guy.

    He's in the Chairforce people he wont be deploying and he did he'd be more likely to die on the way there. Hoorah!

      Actually they deploy quite a bit...but I guess it depends on what job they do. My boyfriend goes quite a bit though.

    Now married to this guy for 2 years now and have a 2 month old son. Also, graduating college this May. Life is good, and everything has worked out.

    Age is only a number that society tags us with. It doesn't really mean anything.

    Thanks for the comments and yes I realise him being military and being married someday will be hard but I'm planning a future myself hopefully civilian side doing intel. I'm not worried about him being deployed and if he is he is doing his duty but he is an AGE guy. And ice I hope it's not the same guy!!! He is at Luke. But hey I got three more years before I even think about marriage and were not having sex due to religious beliefs so not worried about a baby.

      I didn't think I minded deployments either until "hey I have to go to Korea for a year." I don't know what AGE is. I kind of block him out when he talks about work. ha! Good luck with you guys =)

    My husband and I are 7.5 years apart and I met him when I was 19 - I'm 27 now. In your situation, there's no problem with the age, it's his occupation you will have to think long and hard about. An ex of mine was in the Navy and we broke up when he got posted somewhere else. It's your decision though!

    Nothing wrong with that age difference

    Yes. Do you want to be on the move every two years or so? Can you handle him being sent on deployments for 6-18 months while you're home alone (or with the kids)? Can you deal with the trust issues that come with such long separations?
    Military relationships/marriages are more likely to fail than most.

    You sound like two perfectly normal adults and he can support you and Baby if you become pregnant, so I say no problems at all! Stay safe!

    He's probably immature for his age, but if you guys are compatible, so be it.
