Anyways, LPM, please keep us posted.

I'm sorry, but people can beat the 'odds', both ways. Example of the opposite way- my parents are unhappily married (they have nothing in common, etc). They were married in their early 30's. I think something like 33 and 31? They are now in their mid 50's and my mom is bored (she doesn't work and has no interest in my dad's hobbies) and my dad has job burnout.
And FOR young marriage- nwlinkvxd's parents have been married since they were 16 and 18. They have been able to stick through taking in her siblings when they first got married (they did this so that they wouldnt go to a foster home), through bankruptcy, and through many hard times. They are now just about in their early 50's and are still married.
Kevin and I are not planning on getting married right now, as I have said several times. The date has changed so much, it's ridiculous, but because I am going to move in with him in two months, we have postponed the date to after graduation from university. This puts us at around 2007/2008. I will be 21/22, and he would be 22/23. Sure it's not 25, but what's the magic number, eh?
Acetylene, about the whole masturbation thing- I have nothing really against him masturbating. I masturbate too. It's just, when he has to go into the bathroom with his laptop to jack off because I didn't give him anything, I feel bad.
I'm going to my doctor- anyone have any advice as to how I should present this to her? As many of you know, I'm 18 (going on 19 in April), and because of this, a lot of people don't take me (or any young person) seriously. I want to make sure my doctor does take me seriously, and doesn't just brush me off because of my age.
