to think the man you love at 18 is rarely the man you'd love at 32

[ispentitwithyou1]

Just that really!

[BuonoEstente]

Not in my case I'm afraid, still going strong 😃

[SlimCheesy2]

In my case yes!

(And the men at 24, and 27).Lucky to meet DH at 30. :)

My Dparents though met at 16 and are still going strong.

YANBU

It does happen though, but it's not always a good thing!

[Novemberfran]

Yes - even younger. I had s totally different negative attitude to my ex when I Was 25 to when I was 18

[QuintessentialShadow]

For some it works, but so young you have a lot of growing up to do. If both are 18/19 and grow up together in a loving relationship, then I cant see why not?

I met my husband at 21, and at nearly 45 we are still together and I love him very much. We have grown in different directions, but not apart, if that makes sense!

[ispentitwithyou1]

How so bitchpeas?

[blueteapot]

YABU I loved my DH at 18 and I love him now at 32 - we did have a long gap in the middle though!

[SmallBee]

I met DH at 18, I'm now 32 and we've married and had two kids. Sorry to ruin the theory!

[BodsAuntieFlo]

Loved my DH at 18 and still love him at 48.

[SpinALittleFaster]

I agree that you grow up a lot during that period but that doesn't have to mean growing apart. I fell for my DH at 19 and still feel the same now I'm in my 30s.

[drsholmes]

I met DH when I was 21 ( he was 19) have loved him for 15years so far, and love him just as much now I'm 36.

[JustHereForThePooStories]

The man I loved at 19 is now the man I love at 33.

[DoubleCarrick]

Nan always said you either grow up together or grow up apart. My 27 I'd outgrown my dp but didn't realise it until he cheated on me

[Lazyarticle]

I'm lucky too, I met my DH at 15, still happy 32 years later, we've grown up together. If you're with the right person it shouldn't matter what age you meet them

[Acornacorn]

Met at 17/18. Now 31/32.
Still love him. Love him more, actually. But we've had ups and downs.
We've both a lot changed since our teens.

[Haudyerwheesht]

19 when I met dh, 35 now and so been together 16 years. Know quite a few people in similar relationships

[RustyBear]

In love at 18, still in love at 60...

[tigerdriverII]

Met my DH at 21. Just (a week) before I married EXH. That didn't last ...

33 years later it's all good

[Okkitokkiunga]

My parents met at 15. They are now 69 and still very much together.

[TealGiraffe]

My mum and dad got together at 17, still completely in love at nearly 60. My mum has only ever been with my dad and i think that's lovely

One of my mates at work got with his wife at 14 and they are still happily married with 3 kids at 35.

It does happen

[Thunderblunder]

I met DH at 18 he was 24. Still going strong 5 DC and nearly 22 years later.
Trust me Idid a lot of living before I met him.

[ALemonyPea]

Met DH when I was 15 and he was 16. Been together 20 years this year and still madly in love.

[IAmNotAWitch]

16 and now 39.

Neither of us are the same as we were then.

But luckily for us we have grown together rather than apart.

[foxessocks]

I loved my now dh at 18 and I'm 29 now we're still definitely in love so not true for us!
