I completely disagree. I think its quite the opposite...whenever I broke up with a boyfriend, I was encouraged to stay single, because people in college are supposed to party, "live it up", all that good BS.
However, now that I am almost 21, met and am engaged to the love of my life, its usually met with the "aren't you a bit young?"and similar comments that are a complete waste of my time. Turn on MTV or most sitcoms and you will see a portrayal of the single life as a more glamourous one, and usually show the married male as unhappily tied down and constantly searching for other outlets. Really sad, if you ask me. I say, whichever way you are happy
I also beg to differ with the age indicates maturity comment. I was more mature in high school than many of the girls I attend college with. They are insecure, unsure of what they want, and many are reckless with their bodies and their safety. I really feel that maturity is something you can only measure on a case by case basis. Of course not every college girl is like this, but neither is every older woman necessarily more mature. If you do choose to part ways, keep your mind open and hopefully you will eventually meet someone that will treat you a bit better then your current significant other. Good luck!
