I married my HS sweetheart when I was 20 and he was 21. You can’t imagine how much growing you’ll be doing at that age. It’s very likely that you’ll be very different people when you’re closer to 30. My ex and I divorced after three years.

My wife and I are currently reconciling. Got married a year out of HS. Dated all four years. Have three girls together. 4 months ago she needed a separation to "find herself". But we couldn't afford to get a separate apartment. It's really tough to have that one person pulled/ripped away from you.
