did you marry your high school sweetheart??? (dating, wife, boyfriend)

[hlsess]

I am just curious how many actually marry their HS sweetheart

[Stac2007]

Well my wife met me when she was in high school and we got married. Does that count?

Yes We have been married 22 years this November. I was 15 when I met him. He was 18 and a senior. Best.Decision.Ever.

I did. I was 16 when we started dating, 22 when we got married, and 29 when we split up. I think it's great that some people can marry their high school sweetheart and grow together, but in my case we only grew very far apart.

I did. She cheated on me and left.

I didn't marry mine, in retrospect it was a good decision. While I'm glad it works out for some, I think it is wiser to wait a few yrs longer.

JMHO.

Is there such a thing as "High School Sweethearts" anymore? I think that they pretty much died out in the 80s. I mean really, I cant imagine anyone having a high school sweetheart in this day and age anymore.

Having a girlfriend/boyfriend the last semester of senior year I think hardly qualifies as "High school sweetheart".

As sad as it is, you're probably right...

We dated for 3 years, he was drafted, went awol - that ended it for me.

Interesting- my daughter has a bigtime BF and they think they are the "ONE" for each other-I did not have a BF in high school but many guy friends- I was just "curious"...
