My friend who's getting married, as stated in post before, has been with his girlfriend since early college days. I'm always curious about people who find love at such an early part of their life. How does it keep on? How does it not fail? Aren't there roadblocks, impediments, jealousies, and what-not getting in the way?

And then there's gay people: I rarely see young gay people who've been together for such and such time. Obviously it has a lot to do with the whole coming out, getting through your own life crisis issues. But still. Are gay men doomed to doom and gloom in love?

My mother married my father at 17. 17! How does someone get married and not have heartache and love problems when they began at 17?

And why am I 31 and still asking these questions?
