I love my boyfriend, but we aren't compatible in the way we view relationships. I think he's jealous and possessive, he thinks I don't take "us" seriously enough.
But c'mon, who wants to be married at 16?

Oh man, I could have written this. Last year my now ex-boyfriend proposed.
And I don't think anybody should want to be married at sixteen. People change a lot in their teenage years, and feelings change. I wish I had wise words for you, but I think you would know how to handle this more than anybody else.
I don't want to be married at 16. But I think I've found the person. Waiting six more years? Not a problem. Not a problem at all.
Can't say that I'm through changing and growing, but I think that if I start whipping my personality about any more, I'll just snap it off. I've experienced most of the sides of life that there are, and I've picked the best one (for me, personally). Strangely enough, it's just the place I was when I started, and I'm just the person I was when I started.
Only with a quart or so of messy experience, a few cups of wisdom, and a few teaspoons of age tossed in.
That was a very long-winded way of saying: I found myself, and soon after, I found the one. Yes, you can be sure at 16.
^Except for the fact that you can't.
Sure you might get lucky and marry a person that you will remain compatible with, but it's inevitable that both of you will change (drastically believe it or not) in the next few years, and chances are on the other side of the tunnel you might not be as perfect a match as you once thought. Move in with them, sleep together, but why bother getting the law involved when it's obvious things are going to change.
My biggest question: what's wrong with waiting? The only thing I can think of is you want to do it quick before you change your mind. That's no way to start a lifetime commitment.
Knowing who you want to marry is different than actually going out and doing it. I think anon2 noted a desire to wait.
