Im going through a tough decision. Can anyone help me? (Details Below)?
Ok, now im 21 and im dating a 17 year old. We started dating on February 14 of this year. She has been such a sweetheart to me. We have gone through fight after fight after fight. But everyday my feelings for her grow stronger each and every day. She screwed me over once with some guy back in April. This guy was a complete dick and it took her a little while to realize she messed up and she really truly loves me. So we're back together and my feelings for her are so hard that im contemplating marriage. I mean she lives an hour away from me and when i saw her August 19-22, AS SOON AS i got out of her car and into my house, i instantly miss her. I cry because i miss the hell out of her. We do talk sometimes when we arent busy with work and school, but even though we do that, i still cry. I have dedicated 2 songs to her. Both are new Staind songs called "All I Want" and "Tangled Up In You". Im so into her its crazy. I really do wanna marry her, but i dont think its a good time, plus my parents arent too fond of her yet because when i brought her in to meet them, she was sick and wasnt talkin much and it was a bad time. But im so in love with her. In the beginning it was probably an obsession, but its turned into love. She is my first girlfriend, and the first girl i lost my virginity to. Shes so amazing. Is it a good idea to keep the marriage idea in mind? What do i do!? Im stuck and going absolutely crazy about this!

I think what you need to do is slow down and enjoy this relationship your having. It sounds like you have all the symptoms of infatuation and lust we all have when we fall in love, but this girl is ALOT younger than you in maturity and needs time to grow and figure out what she wants in life. If it's meant to be it will but if you two do end up getting married all these feelings your having will tame down and normal life will begin for you two so just slow down and enjoy what your feeling. The best time to make a decision about marriage I believe is when the infatuation goes away in a couple of years or so and you really know the person your with and still want to get married. I met my husband and felt the same exact way you did. We got married a year and a half later and I have NO regrets. I still love this man w/every fiber of my being and it's been 13 years and four children later. I am very lucky to have him and he loves me just the same. Good luck to you and I hope this is your forever person the way my husband was mine. :o)

Okay, here is my advice to you.
I'm around your age. So, I understand how you are feeling. You love her to death. However, the question is how does she completely feel about you? If you are going to marry her, she needs to tell you completely and show you as well.
As for your parents, if they hate her, then so what? You are an adult. If you love this woman, then no one should stop you from being together with her. If your parents love you, they will come to love her too because of how you are feeling.
As an adult, I would wait to marry her when she is 18, when she gets through college, or when she is ready. Which ever comes sooner. If you love her, you will respect her wishes. You would want to do what is best for her.
Maybe the question is do you want to move in with her or not? The reason I am saying this is because you wrote above that you are crying because you miss her so much.
Just to address above when you said that she cheated really quickly. You can look at that in many ways. She is young. She maybe is not ready for marriage yet. Maybe you all were fighting so badly, she just went out and did another guy because she thought you guys were not getting back together. Whatever the case, make sure that when you marry her, there is no doubt in your mind that she will do it again.
You seem like a sweet guy. Best of luck to you. Let me know what happens.

I was in a relationship from when I was 17. I finished school when I was 18, which was only a few months later, so I can't really say if it affected me that much, as I had already done most of my work for my final exams. And my boyfriend didn't go to the same school as me. But I don't believe it did, no. I've seen plenty of people that it did affect, however. They'd skip a lot of class together, that sort of thing.

Sorry, pal, I think you're still infatuated. That doesn't mean that there isn't something stronger there, but the fact that you haven't even made it a full six months without major drama is not a ringing endorsement for rushing things. Give it time, have some serious conversations to figure out whether you're really compatible enough to take that step, and see where it goes.

I think you're trying to make a decision based purely on your emotions which is not good. I think you're both too inexperienced for marriage. I think you're sensitive not only because you lost your virginity to her but because she's also your first girlfriend. I think the fact that you have had fight after fight after fight and she has had an affair makes this specific relationship weaker. I advise you not to get married yet if at all. I hope this helps! :)

well there's a little bit of an age difference but if you want to be with her forever then in 10 or 20 years it'll be nothing. well, keep in mind that this would be very early for her. put yourself in her shoes and ask yourself if you would marry someone if you were seventeen. i think you should wait a couple years, shes just way to young to make that decision. in that time, try to let your parents get to know her more and like her, and get to know her parents. good luck!

You sound perfectly normal to me. Just don't ever push her into something sh'e not ready for. Keep the lines of communication open. She'll begin to grow on your parents as long as she makes you happy.
