Did you do things the typical way in life?

My husband and I didn't.. We are probably the most nontypical couple there is lol.

We started dating in highschool when I was 14 and I very quickly fell in love with him. His parents at the time did not support our relationship (I came from a rough family background as I have mentioned in previous post) But we were determined to be together so we snuck around alot lol we were each others first everything.. The fact people tried to keep us apart only made our relationship stronger. I got pregnant at 17 with a boy that we unfortunately lost at birth on my 18th birthday. This pregnancy caused alot of tension because his parents absolutely did not want me to have the baby since we were so young. We did make it past that and we ended up getting married when I was 20 which I have mentioned previously lol but what I didn't mention was that I was 3 weeks away from having our oldest daughter and we got married without telling anyone. Kept it a secret for a whole year 😂

Now 5 years later we have 2 daughters and unfortunately have been forced to be done having children due to secondary infertility. But I truly love my life now and I love that we aren't the "typical".

I’m so sorry about your loss and your infertility I wish I could share mine for you also did you plan on keeping it a secret?

@MommaBear We planned to get married in secret but we didn't plan to wait so long before actually telling people we were married. We ended up waiting that long because we thought there would be backlash and we didn't want to deal with that but people found out and confronted us about it so at that point the secret was out.

@Maple that’s understandable I wouldn’t want to deal with backlash either

@AngelUnforgiven I'm so beyond happy with my life now. 18 was a very hard year for me for sure but I'm thankful for where I am now.💚

Absolutely not. My marriage and life are far from traditional or typical in any way. It’s a long story, but many are aware of it. Just trust me, it's very different from what you might consider "normal."

@HumanEarth you can try if you'd like. I'm pretty understanding and have seen alot in my lifetime. I'm 25 but feel like I've lived enough for 3 lifetimes.

Maple, I am not here to compare war stories or anything. I am almost 60 years old and been married most of my adult life and I will say this. For me being married is the best thing for me and I love it

Maple · 22-25, F

@HumanEarth I completely agree.. my husband and children have saved me in so many ways its truly the best thing thats ever happened to me.

I mean you can see my post about how all relationships are not meant to be fulfilling and it will become more and more of an "ah hah" moment far far in your future but nobody will ever be able to make you understand that until you are old and grey.

What matters is both of you are together and knew it from the beginning that you are for each other

Maple · 22-25, F

@Popobandar4 I'd do it over again and again.

@Maple a few women and men have such strong preferences

TurtlePink · 51-55, M

Heck no!

Maple · 22-25, F

@TurtlePink I personally feel things come to us at the right time so the "typical" is irrelevant.
