so my friend says to me, i need your advice on this guy. she has been dating this guy for a few weeks and says that he has been talking about wanting to marry her. but she did not know wether or not she was ready for that commitment. here is what i said exzactly,
- well to tell you the truth, you are not. no 16 yr old is. you both have a lot of growing and changeing to do, plus both of you are not ready to support your needs when it comes to buying a place to stay and what f you two decide to have a baby? are you ready for someone to depend on you 247? and what about school? how would you juggle school, trying to live on your own, a job and living expenses? you see what i am saying is that majority of teenage marriges do not last, plus you may think you made a big mistake later on. all i am saying if it was truly ment to be it will last, marriage or not. plus if you were ready you would not be questioning wether you are or not.
-then she says, ok, i do like him tho. even when we split up for a weekend he is the only person i ever wanted to talk to
-then i say back,
ok, well all i am saying is to slow it down and really get to know him on a personal level. ask him about marriage, like if we were married what would we do for jobs, kids, living, school, etc. but do let him know where you stand and where the line is drawn.
its ironic how my friends come to me for relationship advice, when i havent even had my first bf yet. rofl!
was i way to puishey on my opionon that i drounded out her feelings? was i to firm? should i even have said it like that? did i give her the right advice? please tell me what you think.Did i give my friend the right relationship advice? was i to pushey? %26amp; more questions.
you gave her perfect advice! they've only been dating a few weeks and they are 16! it sounds more like they want to play like they are adults instead of acting like them!Did i give my friend the right relationship advice? was i to pushey? %26amp; more questions.
I think you gave her awesome advice - what a great friend! The majority of young marriages don't last. People do change, and then they realize there are thousands of fish in the sea. I think she needs to hear this from you, as well as from other people. That way she will think twice and slow things down.
I think you gave great advice besides the fact you should have questioned why he is talking about marriage so early in the relationship...kinda creepy....but as far as your approach on telling her...it was straight to the point and accurate, most teenage marriages don't work....but at the end of the day its her decision...so if she chooses to be bound by marriage so young...her decision...goodbye freedom and youth hello bills and rent!
