ok, so Im new to this forum, i'm not real sure of how the tone is on your board but i really needed to find somewhere to get some opinions and this seems like a fine way to do it. Well then, that said I'll begin the story:
Five months ago I found myself demolishing the already weakening remains of a 6 month relationship in a way that made me somewhat uncomfortable. You see, I really liked the guy, but no matter how many times I told myself that I still liked his girlfriend this much more...
We've been together since then... and needless to say we had a rocky start but its made things develop very fast, the "i love you"s started about 2 months in and as much as we've been through already (its been a rough year for us both) we have yet to look back at how hard its all been... and nothing makes me happier than hearing her voice on my voicemail on my break at work, she makes me cry for the joy of being whole with her in my arms, somewhere along the way we both decided this must be that forever kind of stuff. And a marriage proposal is still in the works but its verymuch understood to be coming (so much so that we sometimes refer to each other as "my fiance"). i dont ever want to be anything but this happy...
What I haven't told you is that I'm seventeen, she's sixteen, and she wont let me change my plans for college, she'll be commuting to FIT in two years after she graduates highschool, I graduate at the end of next school year and all my most suitable colleges are not within home-for-the-weekend distance... this i've decided will be our most important test, if we can survive my first year of college then we will get married.
She and I both have settled into a "MAKE THIS WORK" mentality and its serving us well so far. so I plan to propose before i move away for school and lately as sure as I am that i want to spend the rest of my life with her I just can't see how this will make life easier right now... well i think i can...
I guess what i need is someone to talk me out of it or someone to encourage me, or maybe just someone who likes the story... I dunno but thanks for your time...
