High school sweethearts

lurkergirl · September 2014

This made me think of @JCbride2015 and @larrygaga CLICKY Cory & Topanga 4EVER!!!

Do y'all (or any other knotties who are with your hs sweetheart) relate to any of these, or are there other ridiculous things you hear?

My parents are actually HS sweethearts. They just celebrated 44 years.

I'm not a high school sweetheart couple, but my parents are. Well, less "sweethearts" and more one of them accidentally got pregnant (with me!) and holy shit they somehow made it work.

I've heard people say "Isn't weird that your parents haven't had sex with anyone but each other?" and I'm like...why are you thinking about my parents having sex? I don't think about that. Ever. At all.

FI and I are HS sweethearts. We hear those things all the time and I just roll my eyes.

My DH graduated high school when I was 7 months old. LOL

On the topic of having sex with only one person.. because we aren't HS sweethearts..

DH has only been with me. We've never had anyone say anything to our face (well, maybe his friends said it to HIM, but not me). But really, what IS wrong with having sex with just one person? If you enjoy it and love it, why would you believe there is better out there?

One of my friends made the mistake of asking my mom something like that. "You've been married since you were 17? Isn't weird that you've only had sex with one guy?" And she was like "...who said I only had sex with one guy." That shut him up.

Yeah I am in a similar boat.. when my FI got married the first time.. I was 5

My parents have been married 40 years. Started dating at 15. Oddly enough, they have a circle of friends who all did the same thing and are still married. Def not the norm, but I like having good relationships as an example! H's parents got married at 20 and just celebrated 45 years.

We're high school sweethearts and have fortunately never had to hear any of those comments!

Maggie0829 and her DH are HS sweethearts!

I think that is AWESOME. I know I wish I had waited for my husband, and he has said the same to me.

SO and I aren't HS sweethearts but we've been together since a month into our freshman year of college. I hear this crap fairly often. I mostly just roll my eyes and try to resist the urge to flip people off. Especially with the sex comments. 1) My sex life is none of your business 2) If I'm happy with the sex I get why would I need to go and try out more? 3) I've found open communication solves a lot of issues with sex. We're honest with each other about what we like, don't like, and what we want in a a sex life and do our best to make the other happy. Anyone can learn to improve in bed not everyone can be the amazing life partner that my SO is.

JCbride2015 · September 2014

Yeah, I hear ALL of those comments constantly.

Funny thing is, we are not a typical HS sweetheart couple because we actually went to different high schools. We always had independent groups of friends and our own lives going on.

And seriously people, STFU about the only having sex with one person thing. First off, don't assume shit. Second, we have had LOTS of time to practice and get really good at what our partner likes. We know what we like and if we weren't "sexually compatible," I think we would have figured it out by now.

CMGragain · September 2014

I can't relate. DH and I dated in high school, and then I dumped him (stupid me!) and shopped around I found out he was the best thing out there!

l9i · September 2014

H and I aren't exactly HS sweethearts. We met the end of my senior year, his junior year, and went to different schools in the area. I hear some of the comments but it doesn't bother me too much. I actually had some of the opposite comments! Peers my age are just settling down for the most part and some have said they wish they had someone they've been with for awhile and not just meeting. As for the sex with only one person. H and I are the only for each other and I wouldn't trade that. However, people don't assume that we've only been with each other. I few college friends were shocked about that fact - not sure what that means?! haha

falsara · September 2014

Me and FI aren't HS sweethearts, but we did start seeing each other when we were 19 and I have known him since HS.

I am FI's first, though most people don't know that, and he and I have gotten all the comments about sex and everything.

It really bothers me that people assume that meeting so young, means that you haven't had enough other experience to know what you want. Even though we consistently tell people that by the time we get married we would have been together for over 4 years and known each other for 7.

I remember going to our 10 year HS reunion and being totally shocked by how many couples there were that got married from our class. I remember one of them was one of the varsity cheerleaders and one of the popular guys. They never dated in HS, but they both went to the same college and their friendship grew into more.

There was another couple that dated all through high school and were on-again, off-again in college. He was the football jock and she was super involved in student government. It was one of those couples that you wish you hated because they were so damn perfect, but they were just too nice for you to hate.

I'm from a very rural area. Everyone I know from my graduating class, except for me, is married to some one that went to our high school. Some are HS sweethearts, some didn't get together until after graduation. When you don't leave the small town there aren't a lot of dating options beyond people from HS.

Yeah, I went to high school in a suburb of Houston. There were 700+ people in our graduating class. We weren't exactly in a small town.

“Isn’t it weird that you had sex with him/her when he/she was a teenager?”

We have had all the other questions asked before, but I never heard or thought about this one. I guess it's not gross because I was also a teenager back then? Our sex is very comfortable because we learned from each other, so I am very happy with not having it with anyone else. I just wouldn't be comfortable at this point.

I was 5 when FI graduated and 10 when he got married. At one point he told me he wishe he had met me before his ex it would have made things so much easier. I almost spit my wine out I was laughing so hard. That's sweet babe, but really you wish you met a 9 year old before your ex wife? I guess jail may have been better than being married to her.

DH and I had a similar conversation. I'm thinking it was wise to wait instead of being arrested as a sex offender/pedofile, even if that seemed like a better scenario that being married to his ex!

BreMR · September 2014

I have heard all of those things, since my fi and I have been together since 15. My mom actually is one of the people who questioned why I would want to have sex with only one person my whole life (she has had a lot of boyfriends).

Seriously, I don't know if it gets better or if it's worse, all I know is I really fucking love it and that's enough for me.
