I’m 17. Ive been with my boyfriend for two years. He’s my first love and we’re still going very strong. He’s two years older than me, so he graduated before I did. I lost my virginity to him, I feel very safe and he constantly and consistently supports and respects me. He’s not all about sex either- if I don’t want to for a month then he won’t (just as an example). We barely argue and when we do we talk it out and find a solution instead of yelling and just spiraling down a rabbit hole. He’s genuinely the best man I’ve ever met. I dated one boy before him who I thought I loved but it was abusive so I was blind and ignorant. My whole family loves him but they say we’re not going to last because A. High school relationships don’t last and B. Most people don’t end up with their first love. What do you guys think? I’m not going away for college we’re both staying in the state so there won’t be any long distance. Can our relationship last past high school?
