Hi, My boyfriend and I are always arguing but we always get everything back together. We've been together nearly six months and he's started talking about a flat and jobs he could get.He knows that I want children and has started talking about that. He doesn't realise that i'm sixteen and that i meant i want children in a few years when im at least 18. Is he moving too fast ?

Hmm , Maybe not too fast , perhaps , he is just careful about his future. I think he loves you a lot , and sees a happy future ahead with you in his life . I am sure you love him too , and if you have decided to be with him all your life , then enjoy his planning and be happy , as you have a guy who is not just living for today , but planning a safe and sound future for your tomorrow . When the time is right , you both can settle down and enjoy life with kids . I know building castles in the air aint right , but I personally feel that planning and working for a good and happy future is actually a good thing :) and wouldn't do much harm . Cheers

Hi Its just that, After 6 months ?!?! And i mean he's not the most faithful person, or the most true, So i'm thinking that if he thinks we could live a happy life while he kept on doing all those things that hurt me, i'm afraid i'm going to have to bring him back to reality ! thanks for your response =)

OOOh hi jess again,well now I understand your previous problem also,dear you two are too small and his behavior is too kiddish actually its influenced by books and novels and movies.so try making him understand that you two are too small for all these things and you should both concentrate on your studies first now.all these things have a lot of time.Tell him that you love children but now you want to concentrate on your carrier first.

oh to be that young again! You both are moving way too fast. I first fell head over heals madly deeply in love at 16. I planned my whole world around this guy. It all fell thru just a couple of months before I graduated high school. Then I got engaged to the next guy I dated. I married him right out of highschool. You can't see it then but you change so much between 16 & 21 and onward. What is so very right for you then may be the most wrong thing for you in a year or two. You can't possibly think that far ahead or imagine it....it happens. Your feelings are so real...they really are. They just change. You are going to grow and experience new things. You may luck out and grow in the same direction as your boyfriend and you very well may not. I know you won't listen to me but if I could go back & do it all again, I would not make any life long commitments during these years....getting married ...having kids... or even living with someone. I wouldn't and didn't listen either. I learned by experiencing it. I imagine you will too but since you asked, i'm telling.

Be honest gurl and be transparent in what you truly feels. I bet he would appreciate you more for that. After all, this is your future you are talking about. Whatever you decide would change the course of your life. Good luck!

Yes, it's a little fast. Don't rush things. Let him know your true feelings on this set up. Tell him that you're still not into it. Two years (you're 18 then) can still make a lot of changes.

Hahahahm your bf is so cute, he actually thought you wanted children now?? Of course it's too soon...You're only sixteen my dear...And six months isn't nearly enough for you guys to decide to move in together, much less get married...You two should concentrate on having more fun together rather than worry about such things that you'll have time to worry about when you guys are much older and fully prepared to start a family. I hope you'll realise this too ^_^ with love, mira. Happy mylotting.

Hi jess07, when I was young like your age, I do have a girlfriend but we rather talk of finishing college and the future what will become us. But in your case it's still early to discuss those things. Your only 16 and you have a lot of things to do for yourself, and enjoy life. Love is ain't everything! For 6 months you should know each other more, and enjoy each other company. Time change, and constant change. Have a nice day to you!

Everything could happen in a relationship you're both in the beginning of your relationship. You are too young to have a baby. Even 18 yr old is still young. Have you imaging your self taking care a baby for about 5 yrs or so. You wont be able to go our with your friends and enjoy night life with them. Are you really ready to have a baby. Think over and over again before u make a decision. You have to enjoy ur teenage life. Don't waste ur time. When you got 21 or 25 and you haven't enjoy ur teenage life. You'll miss it for sure. You have to enjoy your life being a teen. Having a baby is a big responsibility and its not like your just playing a toy. I just want you girl to enjoy your life. Dont rush things up. There's a lot of time when you got 21. =)

i understand your position. for mee 6 month is a short period to make a decision like that futhermore you are still so very young. is your boyfriend are 4 to 5 years older than you? if yes it should be no problem with him. but he should understand your position.talk to him wisely and try to make him understand that you are not ready. he should understand you if he really loves you...=) all the bess to you jess..=)

Hi, My boyfriend is only a year older,I think six months is too shorter perionde to think about this and further more his attitude towards our relationship needs to change before thinking of any of this ! Thanks for your response ! Jess =)

how old is him? if he is ready and 21 an above should able to. but you should tell him honestly about your age. and 6month is really fast if you'll in good relationship so far should not be a problem. but since you are saying you'll have argument on and off.. if too much argument is really not good .

If you're in a relationship with someone and they sincerely don't know your age you're on the road to disaster, it's deceitfulness if he asked and you told him something different. If he's never asked his age and you've never volunteered it, you both have a LOOONG way to go before you should be thinking about any kind of future together, Im sorry if that's rude and boorish but yeah.

Hi, I'm sorry i haven't expressed myself properly he Knows my age ! He's 17 and I'm 16 we're at the same school,lol. I've always been true and faithful to him it's on his side that the lies and unfaithfulness came from . That's why I think he's moving too fast ! if he thinks we can have a wonderful life if he keeps that up i'm going to shatter his dreams ! Sorry again ! Jess =)

hey jesse u should think in a more mature manner......having kids and about buying flats and jobs may sound simple but its very difficult to achieve...even your plans of having children at 18 sounds very strange before that be well educated and settle with a godd job and then plan to start a family...and if your boyfriend loves you then hw would understand your decision....

hi Exacly ! I don't mean that as soon as i'm 18 i want a child.Don't get me wrong,I wont my child to have everything he needs a good life,and the only way to that is a good income and life before the child comes into this world. I may be sixteen but i've been through a lot, i've never known my father and my mother abandonned me when i was fifteen! She had me when she was sixteen,i'm not going to put my child through that i know how much it hurts ! I know life isn't easy money doesn't fall from the sky.Thank you soo much for your response ! Jess =)
