My boyfriend and i are together just short of three years now and have been living together for a year and a half. We have a lovely apartment we work hard to pay for, and puppy for the past 9 months. I love him and am happy with how things are going, but lately ive began to feel slightly panicked that we've met when we were both too young. I look around at all the relationships and marraiges of couples who get together in their late teens early twenties and they seem to be ending. Im 23, hes 22. I cant see myself with anyone else, and i know he feels the same. He really has become my best friend at this stage and the thought of it all going wrong simply because we're too young to last the distance scares the out of me. I dont know i was hoping some of you might be in a relationship that began at a young age, that has lasted the distance? Or know of ways to ensure mine can work long term

Relax. Don't LOOK for a reason for it to not work out, just enjoy the fact that you both care about each other and that you are happy together. Don't over analyze it or you'll find a reason to sabotage it.

Dont stress, unlesss there is a reason for yall not to stick together you should be fine!

i started dating my husband when i was 18. we have now been together for 7 years, married for three months! i agree that you shouldn't be looking for reasons why your relationship won't last and make it last...kwim?

there were times that i thought i would leave, and yes i was nervous about going from my parent's house to my boyfriend's house but when you really know each other and have a good relationship i think it'll only get better.

Your not the only one. Although I am younger than you we still share the same thoughts. Whenever I doubt whether or not my relationship will last, just because we found one another young, I think about how much he loves me and how much I love him. No matter what may happen to us in the future, I'm glad to have him now.

I am 20 years old, my boyfriend is 21, and we've been together for about 21 months, or two years this coming April. We both want to get married soon, and get married to eachother. In fact, I'm excited to start having kids in the next five years. But I'm scared to death! Not only is this the first long term relationship I've been in, but we are young, very young. Then I realize it's just a number. We've both had jobs since we were 15 years old, we have steady CAREERS not just jobs, and have no trouble with money. He asked one day if I was scared to marry him, and I replied that I wasn't scared to marry him, just to get married when I'm 20. I realized that love takes a lot of courage. And I know I'm finally ready to take that big leap. You'll know too.

My advice is be careful who you are hanging around and if they are negative especially if they are just out of a relationship. I found that when I had friends that always complained about their SO everytime they were with me I started noticing the little annoying things my hubby would do and then I would start thinking, yeah he's kind of thoughtless in that area too.... Once I realized that was what was triggering it, I could be true to myself and remember that it's their troubles not mine, I don't mind those little things, he loves me I love him, and nobody is perfect.

Remember this don't worry over the little things, don't fight about the tedious stuff. "you know the station on the radio or the temperature thermostat, he won't pick up his socks... ect." Save it for the big stuff...when it comes along.

Dont know if i can give the advice you are looking for but i too am goin throught he same thing i met my boyfriend when i was 17 i am now 22 and he is 27 we have been living together for about 2 1/2 years. I am so scared that i am ganna be 30-40 years old wishing i would have lived my life to the fullest and not settled so quick. I love him sooo much hes wonderfull but I have this thought in the back of my mind " what if hes not the one" i was so young and have yet to experiance a lot of things and im worried i never will. Its so hard to see myself with out him though.
I say if you love him and you know In your heart that hes the one and only then liston to your heart. Even if things don't work its a wonderfull experiance and hopefully he will always be apart of your life. It does seem like you are looking for a reason for it not to work enjoy it while its there.
