'It’s hard to tell what type of 30-year-old you will be at 19.'
"We married during the Vietnam War. My husband was in the Navy. Between multiple deployments and training schools, we were actually under the same roof for 18 months out of seven years married.""I was 19 when I married my then-husband. We were each other's 'first loves' and felt like we had to get married. The night we were married we didn't even spend our night together — he took off with his family and left me home alone. Should have been the first red flag.
"Now that I’m out, I see that he was emotionally abusive, narcissistic, and was systematically erasing my personhood. Any time that I had an opinion that wasn’t his, he said that I was being a disrespectful wife.""I was married at 18, my husband was 22. I was pregnant and back in the late '80s, it was the right thing to do. We were together for 10 years and had a second child in that time. By the time our seventh wedding anniversary came around, I was done.
"Of course, that did not last. It was freeing to get divorced after years of therapy and growth and now I am feeling more in control of my life and know myself better and what I was looking for. Currently happily married and with two children with my chosen husband. I feel bad about what happened with my first husband but we didn’t know any better at the time.""Started dating in 2015 and got married in 2021 and filed for divorce in 2023.
