Divorced at 21 after my third deployment when I learned she slept with my former stepdad. They\u2019ve been married for 15 years now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d turned 20 less than a week before, and he&#8217;d just turned 19. We stayed married for five miserable years and had two kids before I asked for a divorce. It truly was misery the entire time. We&#8217;ve been divorced for over 10 years, and there&#8217;s an ocean between us. We have a great sibling-like relationship now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Married at 22. I was too immature to make such a decision. I woke up one morning and looked at my sleeping wife and said to myself,\u00a0<em>Who is this person, and how and why am I even here?<\/em>\u00a0We divorced, and I&#8217;m happily remarried.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I got married at 18, decided to leave at 19, then found out I was pregnant, so I stayed. I tried to make it work, had another kid at 23, then asked for a divorce at 25. It was finalized in 1992. I have not remarried because that one was enough for 10 lifetimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was less than three months from my 25th birthday when I got married. I was too young emotionally and didn\u2019t listen to my gut or pay attention to the red flags. We divorced 16 years later. It should have been sooner, but I had to grow up and realize the issues and then get the nerve to leave. That was seven years ago, and I love myself so much more than back then. Still single, and I\u2019m not settling for less than I\u2019m worth.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We met at 21, had a daughter at 23, got married at 24, and divorced at 29. I had two more kids and am currently remarried. My ex-husband and I were both very young and not ready for what we did. After years together, we grew apart. I changed and he didn&#8217;t. That was part of the problem. He is a 21-year-old in the body of a 37-year-old.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We got together at 18, and we lasted for 10 years. He wanted to live a single life, and I gave it to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-29371\" data-postid=\"29371\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-29371 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casual dating is the way, the truth, and the light &#8212; in a world where the divorce rate is over 50%, we find it pretty crazy that barely legal couples are tying the knot before they can legally get a drink.
