Went the same path. And though I doubt it would have been a bad decision---She's now a doctor, I just was not ready for that. We dated junior/senior year in HS....Frosh/soph year in college. I left school, enlisted in the service. She wanted to get married. I actually almost committed. BUT----When I got to AIT, got to go on a weekend pass? Yeah---I was like----Naaaah.....Waaaaay to much furburger to get after.I had a nice girl try to get me to settle down with her at 21 years old. Looking back I can say now that I hadn’t even begun warming up yet to my crazy years. Haha. She was already talking about children, buying a house, etc. That surely would have ended poorly had I committed to her (which I had to tell her probably 10x times that wasn’t happening with me anytime soon). She tried though.
Great girl, though.
