I Married My High School Sweetheart And Couldn’t Be Happier!
Being high school sweethearts means that your relationship withstood high school, and that is saying a whole hell of a lot. It means you’ve been through every immature, infantile aspect of a high school romance. Your relationship has probably endured its fair share of jealousy and insecurity too. But you got through it all, your relationship still strong and intact.
Of course, high school had its fair share of fun and adventures, and you carry that into your relationship until this day. You remember what it was like to sneak around, to find those stolen moments when one of your houses was empty so you guys could hook up (Note: This becomes very handy when you have kids). You have probably stayed out way past your curfew just so you could spend a few more hours in each other’s arms.
You know what it’s like to fight for your relationship because, in all likelihood, there were people along the way who didn’t believe that your relationship would last. There were probably people who advised you not to stay together, to branch out and experience other relationships. But you knew in your heart that this relationship was special, something that would last. You trusted your gut, and you were right.
But what I think is maybe the most incredible aspect of being partnered up with a high school sweetheart is that you know them — I mean really know them, inside and out.
I have seen my husband through all kind of stuff — times that he’s messed up badly and times that he’s done the most amazing things in life. And he can say the same for me. I know his history. I remember when his baby sister was born, and when his parents split up. He remembers when I stopped talking to my dad for a year, and he accompanied me on a trip when I was 18 to visit my dad and reconcile with him.
