Help me with my relationship, life changing question...?

Question

Okay so my boyfriend and I have been going out for almost 11 months, he is 18 and I am 17. I honestly love him so much , he is my everything, and I am completely in love with him. My family adores him, and his family loves me, everything is just about pefect, in our romance. There is just one problem, I ALREADY feel like we are married, and that my whole life is planned out ahead of me. According to both of us we do want to be together forever and have a family, and yes it does seem kinda crazy that a 17 year old and 18 year old already know this, but we are different than most couples. But that is besides the point, as I said I already feel as if we are married, and thatt's not good for a 17 year old to feel, as if my whole life is planned out for me. Sometimes I want to break up with him so I can explore other things, know other people, and finish up my youth a little bit more, because If I never do and we do end up getting married I may feel trapped or bored cause my whole life was just with him, and everything was kinda repetive. On the other hand I do not want to break up with him, not only is he my boyfriend, he is my best friend. I dont know what I would do without him, I would be depressed, sad and go crazy, it seems like I will never meet someone as great as him. What should I do see other people so I can experience my youth, or stay with him, or be an open relationship?!

Answer 1

why would you want to date other people if you love your boyfriend? yes, you are very young but if you found the one then you can spend the rest of your lives together. there's a lot of things you guys can do. you guys can party together, travel, go to school...whatever you want. Maybe you're just not 100% sure if he's the one you really want to be with and if thats the case, then you guys should have a good talk and come to an agreement - how about some time apart to see what you really want? its just that you're so young right now and you probably havent really experienced heartaches and pain.

Baby girl.... You need to seperate!  You are never too young to know what you want sweetie. You have every right to feel overwhelmed. If you need your space... then you need your space and you boyfriend (hopefully) is mature enough to understand. Who knows.. he probably feels the same way and is hesitant to tell you.

On the other hand... if you have a good guy... you have to be prepared to lose him. But that is life. Sometimes you have to lose a good thing to know what to look for on your way back around to a serious relationship. You need to do what is best for you baby girl. If you need your space, take it. You don't want to have any regrets in this area.

PS Don't go too crazy there kiddo. Be safe and smart above all things. Stand out from the crowd!!!
