    ashley's MP3 N/A N/A


    I was only 16 years old when i started to date this guy that was 24 years old and he was a good friend of my dads. my parents were not too happy about it. I ran away and did many things and finally the state of AZ pressed charges on him because we got caught. He had several court dates and finally his trial came. Because of the fact that my parents didnt show up at court he only got 2 weeks in jail. I am still dating him and infact we are engaged but before our marriage date i have to go through the court to even get a chance to see him and if the law doesn't let me see him i have to wait until his sex offender classes are over which could be up to 7 years or more. talk about unlucky. all because i fell in love with a man that was older they had to mess my whole life up. i hope every one that dates an older man just keep it safe. After 2 years with him we are still together but im still having to go to school and work and live ALONE all because of this and fighting trying to talk to his judge and probabtion officer. girls watch out if you love the guy the one feeling that you will never get rid of is you put the love or your life behind bars and charges on his record, but dont stay with them because you feel guilty stay because hes the one.

    I agree with Alee. Age is just a number but at a certain age your goals wants,and opinions of the world change.I assume you're 18 you have your whole life ahead of you, college,clubs just doing new things as a legal adult. Statistically speaking if you got married at your age your marriage is going to fail. Don't rush married life because in a few years kids will come and its bye bye freedom.

    I'm glad to hear that someone else is sticking this situation out in the face of so much legal trouble. Love is not as blind as the law is. I am currently 24 guy and mutually in love with a 16 year old girl who I feel rises above her age. Having a relationship like this based on compatible values and not simply sexual relations is excellent REGARDLESS of age. Many people say, "That's stupid. How do you KNOW you love him?". Don't push your extroverted insecurities on others. Teenagers are immature because we MAKE them immature. Rise above your childish thoughts and start thinking like adults.
