Ring you can take out versus permanent inkage on my lower back, when I was SEVENTEEN. Yeah, it will never make any real sense to me either.

You're extra special lucky if you can grow with someone, instead of apart. Not saying it's impossible, just might be a tough road. Bad decisions, of course, are not age specific. The older I get, the easier that is to see.

No matter what crap ass programming they throw at us, we will watch it. In some ways the greater the train wreck the more we are willing to watch. <BR/><BR/>While we enjoy for the shock value - I wonder if it encourages these behaviors in the younger generations. Do they think they can act slutty because of Laguana, or spoiled because of Sweet 16? Or now get married? I am glad I am not the only late 20 something who hearts MTV. I can’t get enough of it.

(Super Sweet 16 makes me want to <BR/>weep for the future, however.)<BR/><BR/>I first met J in college, reconnected a few years after, and got married fairly young. In any event, I completely agree with you; I don't think age *alone* is indicative of a marriage destined to fail. People are getting married later, and the divorce rate continues to remain steady, you know? <BR/><BR/>(What an uplifting little comment! I'm a bucket of sunshine today!)

Like, about to graduate. MTV is older than you are.<BR/><BR/>And to comment on your point: I got married at 22 and left him 12 years later. Now I am with a man who's 13 years older than I am; we are soulmates. :) Okay, I kind of feel really old, because the first season of The Real World aired when I was in college.
