At this point in your life you should be trying to figure out who you are. Believe me, who you are right now will be pretty different than what you will be like at 30. Not to mention that your wants and needs may be completely different. Keep in mind that if you do get married at such a young age, there is a huge possibility that you could grow apart into completely different people. Think long and hard on this whatever you decide. Good luck.

I'd just like to say that my parents got married at 18 and it's been over thirty years since, my sisters both got married young and are still with their husbands.
As to the original post, you have to decide what you want to do. It may take alot of thinking but you need to figure that out before you bring this up to your girlfriend because once you say something like that it is hard to bring it back. You are young to be in a serious relationship but it happens and people have made it work. I can tell you that if you decide you need to be independant and you tell your girlfriend that, you cannot expect to get her back when you are ready to commit.
