Senior citizens: Is it true relationships with the opposite sex don't work out in your 20's? If so why?

[Cal Fuzzyhead]

I was married the first time at age 18 (he was a cradle robber, 24 years old - he had his master of arts degree and I had barely started attending college). The second time, I was 27 and he was the same age. In between those marriages, I had one serious relationship which ended when it became obvious that all he wanted was to play house. I don't regret any of those relationships, but I barely remember them, either. They seem SOOO long ago. There are some people who meet and marry when they're young, and it works out - they have their ups and downs, but they are able to sustain a loving relationship for many years. Just didn't turn out that way for me. I did some really stupid things when I was in my 20s. I did a few smart things too, like keeping a steady job and having a beautiful and smart daughter.
