You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life? (lemmy.world)

If we make it to 24 that'd be 8 years of dating and id feel bad not marrying her by then. My only caveat is I want to be out of college by the time we marry tbh

I'll probably still go to grad school but I'd atleast like my BS

That's what we did, it just turned out that we were together for 7 years before everything fell in to place. We got out of college, got our careers in order, and bought a house. Then married the next year.

Good luck with that, in a positive way. That sort of thing is the exception to the rule and when it works out it’s awesome! But it’s important you manage expectations to some degree because if you don’t the end of said relationship can be crushing.

College especially is a place that transforms who you are in many ways. It’s not impossible for couples to stay together but as people change so too do their interests and relationships.

Just don’t have your heart set on the goal and simply hope you land there at some point.
