My best friend popped the big question to his girlfriend last night... - Comments

Crazy, dude.

Fun fact: 80% of the population meet who they'll going to marry by the time they're 16. ^^

I think if it is really bugging you, you should just let him know. Tell him practically everything in this journal, and let him know that you will support whatever he chooses but you just wanted him to be completely sure because you don't want something bad to happen.

Weddings and divorces are pricey x.x

Personally I believe that this relationship needs some serious mending before they ever get married. My boyfriend and I are around the same age as this couple and we've been dating for almost 14 months and we both believe that even we, who barely ever fight at all, aren't ready for that sort of commitment.

I mean, I believe you mentioned that they've been together around 8 months? That's too little time to really get to know someone. I'm still learning new things about my boyfriend every day! And I also believe that you should live with someone before you marry them. Living with them gives you a real idea of who they are, how they will react in certain situations, everything. I mean... what if this girl is a complete slob?

I don't know, there is just a lot he should think about before going through with this....

Superman53 At least you're trying to make it work, that counts for something. I've seen a few of your journals around here but haven't commented. I know a little bit about your situation from them and I wish you the best of luck. It's hard dealing with things like that in today's world, or any time really. I fully agree with you that it's best to be prepared than not, because even when you are prepared, well...things still go wrong.

vv. Awww haha :) It really is difficult. I personally thought my last ex and I were going to be one of the lucky ones, and other people thought so too, but we've been broken up for about a year and a week now :/ I still love him too...but I doubt it'll work out. I'm a hopeless romantic and I still have eyes for him, but I think I've lost my chance.
Thanks, I do think he'll make the right choice but she will make it more difficult for him to do so.

I'm to screwed up right now to know if I believe in young love. I know i'm trying to make it work though. It doesn't sound like your friend and his girl are ready for the commitment yet. And it's 10 times better to be ready than not ready. Trust me on that one.

v. (,: Thanks. I actually feel extremely giddy whenever my grandma
tells me the story of how it all began. She was such a heartbreaker. haha.

It definitely is, and today it's more difficult to find it because of distractions and deceit.

As long as nothing happens that will force you to intervene, he will be
able to make his own decisions and hopefully those will be the right ones.
I'm glad you have some semblance of hope for him.

v. Awww, that's great for your grandparents! I do believe that young love can last as well, it's just rare. I think he deserves all the happiness in the world but like you said, it's too soon. He might realize that on his own though, I hope. I don't want to meddle.

I believe that young love can last as well, seeing as a prime example
resulted in myself. (My grandparents fell in love at a young age.)

But although he's your best friend and you want him to be happy,
from what you said about both him and his girlfriend (well, fiancée),
they aren't emotionally ready for that commitment just yet.
