@BeautiyRose96 My closest friend got married at 18 to the first guy she dated; he was 19 and she was his first girlfriend. He died recently after they'd been happily married for almost 50 years. This kind of thing is rare but it does happen. By the way, mid to late 20s is not really that young for marriage. In general, people tend to become more confident and assertive as they age. And they get better at sorting out the bullies, too, because taking advantage of someone more passive and less assertive is a form of bullying. Also, guys mature and many get to the point where they appreciate women who are not bratty and demanding.

@BeautiyRose96 Not stupid, just less experienced. It takes time for some of us to learn we have the right to speak up and be our own friend. Meanwhile, relationships can still be fun, but remember you do have the right to say what you think.
