Question - (7 June 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 June 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hey,

I'm 19 + have been with my boyfriend for 2 years.

Just recently a few people have been saying that I'm too young to be in such a long term relationship + to be honest, it's making me starting to doubt us a little bit. I love him to pieces but as we live quite a distance away, whenever we do meet up I'm tired or stressed because of work + I end up being a bit mean to him..

I guess I'm a bit confused. Maybe our relationship has changed too much since we first met? :(

xxxsoulsistaxxx agony auntDon't listen to what other people say. If you're having fun, enjoy it: letting them make you doubt it and losing him will make you resent them in the future. I personally think you may need some time to experience the world on your own, you only live once of course. But if you've met someone who makes you happy, why throw that away because other people have a problem with it?

However, the fact you're doubting yourself makes me think you have some worries despite what people say. Do you feel you need some single time to find our who you are? Do you want to see more of your friends and do more stuff? Are you sick of all the drama of being with him? If so, maybe some time on your own will be good for you?

But only do this if you want to. Stop worrying about what everyone else says, they were young once and need to remember what it was like to be in love for the first time. Don't let then ruin this: it may not last forever but you'll learn some important lessons and probably have some great memories from being with him. Good luck.

If you are in love then age doesn't play a part. I've been with my girlfriend for 1 year and 8 months we met when she was 17 and i was 20. She nearly 19 and i'll be 22 soon, i would have to say that we are deeply in love and it gets better the longer your with someone.

When you first meet someone its new and exciting and when you have been together it can become old but!!!!! what i do is add new thing to keep the interest.... Give yourself things to look forward to such as holidays or travelling... getting a home together or just sharing a flat.

If your having doubts because someone said "your too young to be in a long relationship" then ask yourself why?

Who are these people telling you this? are they friends who dont have anyone or keep relationships short because they can't find the right person?
