My aunt, actually. Married her high school sweetheart. And just because a majority of people don't do that doesn't mean I can't choose to be that way. I am not predicting the future.. I only know what I am experiencing now and for the last 2.5 yrs... so if I believe Peter is the one I am going to marry, then that's my perogative. I can't predict, as I said - but I know what I feel and I am very thankful that I have as open of a relationship as we do. Luckily, he's older and learned a lot from his past and just having more experience overall.
But either way, why laugh at me and basically predict the future yourself and tell me that it's never going to work when you have no idea.. you don't know and that's pretty nasty to do. If someone was in my position I'd say more power to you and I hope it works out...
