My family all got married at age 16-18. I waited until age 22 and am still married nearly 20 years later while they are all divorced. Nothing wrong with waiting.

I'm kind of sad that you haven't changed enough to be incompatible with that person. The people I was into at 22 are not the people I am into now.

way to respect other people's choices, man.

I respect their right to make that choice, even if it's a shitty choice. And that's more important.

I meant more the other direction. Marrying anyone under 30 is crazy. I'm glad it worked out for you but 22 year olds are children that sometimes get blackout drunk for fun. I remember myself and my dating age cohort at 22, any of us making any permanent decision is kinda crazy.

Speak for yourself, I was pretty responsible by 22-ish and got married around then. I'm still happily married.

Good for you little buddy, your brain wasn't done and you were uneducated and severely underexperienced in all things but you picked the right choice. Congrats. Sometimes chicken entrails predict the weather, more often than chance even. That doesn't mean meteorologists are at risk of bird flu.

Is that strange where you are from?

Indeed. Here most people are still either getting their education or just starting with work.

I got married while in school and just before starting my internship. Going through school married is awesome.

In Lesotho that’s practically middle-aged.
