How old were you?
38

All of this talk today about our kids wanting to include their bfs or gfs in family celebrations made me wonder about how old we were when we met our significant others. We think that these teen romances aren't very important and will only last a few weeks or months, but is that necessarily so?


I was still 17 when I met my DH, and it's hard for me to fathom that at 16, my DD is almost the same age that I was then! (Of course, I was already in college, but that's another story.) We didn't get married until after college and graduate school, when we were in our mid-twenties, but we did find each other at a very early age!

I was 14 when I met my DH, we started dating when I was 15 which was 2 weeks after we first met. We got married when I was 22 and he was 26.

I've found it interesting reading all the replies to this post! Although a number of you were in your 20's, or even 30's, when you met your SO, a lot of us were not all that much older than our teens are now! It's pretty incredible, isn't it? And yet I still view my 16 y.o. DD as a "baby" in so many ways!

I was 17 when DH & I met. He was 18. We married 2 years later at 19 & 20. It does seem awfully young doesn't it?
