Is it normal that me and my high school sweetheart are still in love?

Well, me and my sweetheart met at the young age of 15. Now, at 21, we're engaged and the weird part is he was my first for everything. Through knowing each other, we were each others first date, kiss, and first lovers. Is it odd that we never had anyone else and that it had always been us? I'm content but my family and friends say they never thought we would wound up engaged and thought it the average HS relationship.

We've waited through long distances, stuck by each others sides even when the other gave us reason to move on, and in every essence were like a married couple by 19. Is it normal?

  • Your in love. Face it. There's nothing wrong with that! Stay with him forever!

  • I think it's a reflection on our society if someone questions if this is normal.

    • I agree. There's a lot of pressure to 'play the field' before settling down. But it should be about what works for the individual. Of course it's 'normal' for some people to meet a long term partner when they're young. Infact, it used to be THE norm.

  • If you're truly happy together, then I think it's lovely. Sod what others think. People probably admire your ability to committ. As long as your relationship is true and honest and not based on neediness or familiarity, then great.

  • I hate to piss on your cornflakes but it isn't going to work.

    Puppy love is amazing but it never lasts.

    You're both FAR to young.

    I was once as naive as you, then I broke her heart and she broke mine.

    Just enjoy it for what it is now, in the moment but don't be silly and dream of marriage etc, it will end in tears.

  • Yea very sweet.

    Until the cold hard reality hits you both in a few years that you both want to fuck other people.

    It will happen, trust me.

    • That's what I'm hoping doesn't happen. I'm kind of scared to get to tie the knot because I know that my parents split off and found other people and they meant WAY down the road and we met as adolescents. I already cheated before though once. But I fessed up to it and we made up in a month's time.

      • If the relationship is worth enough to you then neither of you will let some meaningless sex with someone else get in the way. Some people come to an arrangment where they stay together but just sleep wth others too (but they DO NOT engage in a full relationship with others - that's different.) If you ever do this, though, just don't get an STI... that wouldn't be cool. I'd just avoid that kind of 'arrangement' altogether, though, it's probably not worth it.

  • that's fine.

    you don't have to date a million people just to find the one you're meant to be with. sometimes you get lucky and find that person early

  • Aww that is sweet. Never forget your love for each other. Some people lose sight of that and just go through the motions, forget to cherish every moment they have with one another, and forget how special that person means to them.
