    Do you guys believe that having a long relationship with a guy at an early age is ok?

    I have been with my boyfriend for about 5 years (since I was 15) and we click so well. He's only two years older than I.
    Often people find it impressive but others seem to tell me that there is a lot of fish in the ocean as well.

    What is your opinion on this?

    you shouldnt need anyone else's opinion on this one. if you care about him and he cares about it shouldnt matter if there are other fish in the sea. congrats to the two of you if anything for making it work for so long. i know someone who was with the gf since the age of 15 and just go married. they were together for 12 years before their marriage.

    take it easy and go with the flow. if it's meant to be it's meant to be

    the more time spend together more you get close to each other.

    Wow, since you are 15?!? If the relationship is going strong, then he might even be your future husband. Its true there are other fishes in the sea, but like they say: "the first one is the deepest". If there's nothing wrong in between the 2 of you, why change? IMO, you go with how you feel about the guy and not what other ppl say you should do (of course if the guy is beating you up and your family, friends are asking you to leave him, yea).

    i myself have been with my girlfriend since i was 20 and her 16, i am now 29 and we are still together, we have had our ups and our down, but 1 thing sticks in my mind is that when she moved in with me i took it as if she was mine and did not make much of an effort, i have realised my mistakes now and can only advised that you should always hold a bit back and make sure he will always be intrested. i sometime think to myself that there are other fishes in the sea but dont we all know that already. just enjoy each other

    5 years such a long time.. must be a very good relationship! since 15.. thats like when everyone has girlfriends/boyfriends like every month :p the five years, you guys would of learnt a lot about each other, if he is still treating you well, and everything is going smoothly, then stick with him. Marry him, sex :D(kids) :p!

    i'll make it last forever ... here's my opinion with LOVE:

    It's like growing a apple tree;

    1. Finding the right seed as met and hav a good feeling.

    2. Plant it as you're starting to get to know each other.

    3. Water it as showing your sincere love.

    4. First leaf as started a relationship.

    5. It'll grow with time and by the time the apples come out, it'll be the day of marriage.

    So, will you be able to dig up the growing tree and fit it with another seed? It'll definitely not worth a try (if it's a really good tree) ... it doesn't matter how long the relationship has been, it's about the passion there ...

    Do it as calculation (assume at age 20):

    1. Meet 1 year, together 1 year, married 58 years = 80 year old.

    2. Meet 1 month, together 8 years, married 52 years = 80 year old.

    Get the message? Year doesn't matter anymore if the relationship can go to their furthest point ...
     
  12. y fish for others when ur feeling content?? i mean all the guys out there r the same anyway... all passion goes eventually... n if ur comfortable with someone even without the passion then he/she is worth every single bit of strength to hold on to...

    My wife and I have been together since we were 16 and it's been over 10 years. Our relationship has never been stronger and we still can't get enough of each other (corny I know but hey...)

    You love each other and you are content in your relationship; That's all that matters.

    As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. Why contemplate the unknown when you have, what it sounds like, an excellent relationship?

    I don't understand why people are telling you there are plenty of fishes out there... Are they trying to tell you to let go of a perfectly good relationship to go and 'experience' what else is out there, only to potentially discover what you have right now is what's best for you?

    ignore other people's opinions. you shouldn't care about what people think. Unless u don't really love him that much or u are getting bored with him and wanted to look for another relationship.

    i would say, there is never a right age to have a long relationship. if you feel so much for that person and things are going great, why bother about what others say about there being more fish in the sea. there are, but you have found yours, hold on to it as long as you can if you love him. remember, this relationshiop consists of you and your bf, not others. if you two are happy, then keep it going. i wish u luck.,

    its fine to have early relationships... ive never had a relationship past 2.5 years.... but i nearly had a propsal in my longest relationship at 2 years... i was so shocked and scared because i find 2 years is not long enough to know thats definitely the right person for me... but i think childhood sweethearts are so cute! there are plenty of fish in the sea but who cares because you've found your fish right??
