I don’t think age played a part in our marriage deteriorating; I think maturity did. He lived with his parents until we got married, I’ve lived mostly on my own since I was out of high school and moved to Atlanta by myself on a whim. He never wanted to leave momma’s side. He never wanted to grow up and act his age…he wanted to be a teenager, partying and using illicit drugs even after I finally convinced him to join the Air Force. I was expected to put up with everything he did, because that’s how his parents treated him. I think he got married, not necessarily because he WANTED to, but because he saw he was getting left behind by all his friends.

My Fiance is younger than me, but is very responsible and mature for his age, trust me, it took some convincing for me to even consider more than 1 date with him. He WANTS a family. He WANTS to take care of me. I know he will make an amazing husband and father. I know many may think we are rushing things, but when it’s right, it’s right.
