<p>Have been married 7 years to the girl I broke up with (kinda mutual) first semester of college after 2 years. Only took 35 odd years to get back together. I for one think HS loves can be very real.</p>
<p>Barrons - I love your story. So cool.</p>
<p>I wonder how many of us are really with the ones we loved as teens? I am not.</p>
<p>my daughter mentioned this [QC](<a href=“Questionable Content”>Questionable Content) in her twitter along with cynical comment about not being happy but not sad either & I thought that meant she broke up with her BF
luckily- I all I said was confused and she explained by posting the link ( which at first confused me more) 
( however she didn’t even meet him till out of college- they are now both in grad school and happy otherwise-she had just been following the comic for a while- she was only commentng on the characters-?)</p>
<p>I met my H when I was 18- but didn’t know him in high school he lived in the big city.</p>
<p>My DH and I started dating in h.s I was a freshman. He was a senior. We broke up when he left for college. We got back together when I was a freshman in college and he a senior. We got married after my soph. yr.(yes, I continued to attend college and graduated) Been married 28 yrs.</p>

This is my d’s situation, only she hung out with “his” friends most of junior and senior year. They attended different high schools, and for the past 2 summers they spent all their time with this group, which was based around his hs. </p>
<p>She just broke up with her BF last month (she’s 700 miles away at college, his college is near home), and was unpleasantly surprised when it turned kinda ugly and friends began taking sides - and they pretty much all took HIS side. She thought it would be an amicable split, remaining friends, with the possibility of re-uniting at some point in the future. But he was sad, which turned into hurt/defensive, then angry. He put his feelings on his FB, while D kept her mouth - and her FB - quiet. So since only his side of the story was public, and they were HIS friends FIRST, she got the boot.</p>
<p>I had warned her back when she transitioned over to his group of friends two years ago that they were HIS friends FIRST, and if they ever broke up most of the group would remain HIS friends. So her bridges are pretty much burned. On the plus side, we don’t have to share D with anyone when she comes home any more…</p>
<p>My daughter continues to thrive since her break-up. She has met another boy who is very much her type and is taking things very slowly to nurture it properly. They have a date after the Thanksgiving holiday and are communicating a lot until then. The ex-boyfriend is still communicating with my daughter, but still doesn’t want to recommit. He wants to date other girls, but hasn’t started yet. His mom has stayed in contact with my daughter and she will see her tomorrow. I am actually very impressed with how my daughter and her ex have put aside their differences and have adjusted to the break-up. They are still friends and they still care about each other. I am sure they will get with each other and all of their old friends during the winter break and I won’t be surprised if they do just fine as just “friends.” I was never as mature with my early break-ups.</p>
<p>When I drove D today to meet her ride back to school, she seemed very “Pleased” that she did not run into her Ex during her Thanksgiving break. (which is tough because everybody knows everybody else & there is lots of socializing over Thanksgiving)</p>
