Do high school sweethearts last?

Question

ive been with my boyfriend since a year ago. im a senor at highschool and im 17. ive had 2 previouse relationships and im concerned were not gonna make it. he was my bestfriend before i met him and i love him so much. and hes always there for me. all he thinks about it me. ive heard the expression of a relationship working best if he loves you more than u love him...i love him...but im 17 i want to experience more of a relationship and go out again...yet when im with him i cant imagine beeing with anyone else. my two older sisters keep telling me its not gonna last and that as soon as i go to college its just gonna die. im worried because i love him but lately and for all i know and have experienced and seen others experience...nothing last forever. he was my first (sexual partener) i know its nevr healthy to stay with the first boyfriend or person u fall in love with...but i just wanna know love exist.

Answer 1

if the love is real, then yes. they may go through a few separations due to getting settled in life, but end up in each others arms.

if its just temporary romance, it dies like a rose.

Answer 2

i'm 21 and i've gone through this a lot. my high school boyfriends and i didn't last because they weren't honest with me. see, the thing is honesty and communication really is the key. if your boyfriend and you are very honest with each other and communicate, then you could last. but if there isn't honesty and communication, then forget about it. some high school relationships dont last cause of the drama of these teeneagers, but try to make it last if you really love him.

about going out... talk to each other and see how the both of you could go out and have fun and trust each other.

Answer 3

Who ever said it isn't healthy to stay with the first boyfriend or person you fall in love with?    That's rubbish!

It probably doesn't happen as often as the other relationships that break apart, but it most certainly has happened!

Nevertheless, because you think you want to experience more and go out again, you shouldn't count on you relationship lasting....and there is nothing wrong with that!

Good luck in you future, whatever you decide to do!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

sadly it probably will die, im sorry to say but if you try really hard you can make it last

Answer 7

They can. My friend has a boyfriend and she is saying she knows they will get married. (She is in tenth grade and he is in eleventh)

Answer 8

Yes I married mine and we were together for 17 years.I never wanted anyone else but he changed and ended up getting into trouble and now we're divorced,but I don't regret the good times that we had or marryingng him.He gave me alot of good memories but then at the end,I was heartbroken and had some sad ones too.People change and so does life.Nothing ever stays the same but My parents married from high school. My dad was 17,My Mom 19 and they stayed together for 40 years until my dad died,then mom alittle later.They Had some tough times too but stayed in Love always.Their are no guarentees in life.We all have to live with our own choices whether good or bad and so You have to decide what you really want for your life.As too,we sometimes let things pass us by that will never come our way again so whatever you decide,You must realize that a man,any man or woman will never be able to give you complete happiness and the fact is the fire does wane with time so that that strong attraction that you now feel will subside if you stay with him for years to come.Like anything,the newness wears off but that is what marriage is.You must work at it and decide to commit yourself for better or worse and accept going in that there will be some worse to have to deal with and live with.Otherwise a surprise when things don't turn out the way that we plan.Love takes work and often in the beginning of a relationship,It is mostly ease and romance and the high sails you both along.If you are not ready to settle down then be honest and don't plunge into a commitment you can't keep that will cause your friend to be unnessasarily hurt and bind you with resentments for having made a commitment in fear..Love exists when you care more about the welfare of the ones that you love before your own.Being honest is the best love that you can give him and yourself.

Answer 9

ok first let me say that i do know of several high school sweethearts that have lasted.

HOWEVER.

my sociology teacher explained this to us...

you really don't become the person you will be until around 24. so you don't want to wake up someday to find out that you really don't enjoy living with the person you are with.

secondly.

studies have shown!!!

that if you wait until you are 23 to get married.

you have a 95!!! percent more likely chance of staying together.

hope you guys make it.

best of luck.

Answer 10

one yes highscchool sweathearts DEF. last

my boy friend sister has been with her highschool sweatheart an they have been going out for 7 years!

dude i am a senior and have been with my bf a year ago and he is 18 in college and hasnt cheated!!! dont worry and just be happy with what u got!  

Answer 11

wel statistically speaking, 2% of high school relationships will end in marriage. 50% of marriages end in divorce, so your odds of staying together are 1 in 100.

if you both want it to work, you both do your best to make it work, and if you both love each other, then i think you could stay together forever.

and who cares if he's the only one you've ever slept with! s*x isn't everything and anyone who thinks that it is needs to re-evaluate their relationships.

i may be overly romantic or full of c**p, but i think that your first love is your best love.

call me crazy, but i think you should give it a chance.

Answer 12

If you want it to last i'm sure you'll do all you can to make it last! Don't let anyone tell you that it won't, as they don't know the ins and outs of your relationship as well as you and your boyfriend do.  

Answer 13

They rarely last. My parents are a rare exception.

Answer 14

It's never healthy to stay with the first person you fall in love with? Really? Well then I guess I'm screwed! Oh well! I'm fine with that.

Answer 15

u cant leave him then go back and i think it will probley last :)

Answer 16

Some high school sweethearts do last, my friend just married his! I thought that my relationship in high school would last forever, but College does change things. It is tough, there are many temptations. Ultimately only you and him can decide if your going to make it. If you feel like you want to be with him and nobody catches your eye or heart better than him, then don't throw it away. But if you feel like you want to experience different things then do it, life is to short to have regrets. I hope whatever you do your happy doing it, don't look back with regrets!

Good Luck

Answer 17

s*x is good.

stay untilll he needs viagra.

then ditch him.

:)

Answer 18

i promise you love is still here! i know you love him, and right now you think he is perfect and you want to love him forever.  but let go, and explore everything else! enjoy college, the parties, the new ppl, the learning.  find out about yourself, who you want to be and what you want to do.  do things you have always wanted to do, travel, enjoy life! put yourself out there! date a guy you mite not normally! a broken heart makes you stronger! i promise! and then after college if you still think you love him more than anything else, he will be waiting right there for you if it was ment to be! but who knows wut will happen by then! :)

fairy tale happy endings are still there! go and find yours!  

Answer 19

Love exists, but it lasts longer if you're mature, which it sounds like you aren't yet.  A good friend of mine married his high school sweetheart, and they're still going strong after 30+ years.  I didn't know them as teens, but met them when they were in their 20s and they were mature even then.

Answer 20

absolutely NOT, people are around to have fun at that age really, nobody will bother about commitment or anything like that.

Anyway, nothing in life last, things come and go, appreciate whatever you have before its gone
