You Two are Like Married!?

For any of you have been in a long term relationship before, you will know exactly what this blog is referring too. For those of you who haven't, your probably one of the people I am talking about. As most of you may know from previous posts (or the sheer fact that no one other than my mum, auntie and possibly a few close friends read this) I have been in a relationship since I was 15, which makes it 5 years in fact. I like this, I like this a lot. As the years rolled on and I have become older I have started to notice the reactions people make when they find out this little piece of information about myself. There are two categories of reactions which I regularly receive. The first response is what I have come to name the 'marriage' response. It goes a little something like this: Random: 'How long have you been with your boyfriend for?', Jade: 'Uhhhmmm 5 years', Random: 'OHHHH MYYYYY GOODDDDDDDDDD you two are like married', Jade: 'Haha uhm yeah nahhh', Random: 'OMG when are you going to get married? Are you going to get married? Obviously your going to get married. Can I come to your wedding?'. The second response is the 'are you an idiot' response. It goes like this: Random: 'How long have you been with your boyfriend for?', Jade: 'Uhhhm 5 years', Random: 'OMG really?! What is wrong with you, what since you were 15? Wow your crazy?!?!'

In reference to the first response (it's actually my personal favourite) it's it hilarious people assume a 20 year old should be married if they are in a long term relationship? Yes we have been dating a long time, no we are not engaged. Why? Because I am 20 years old! My question is, what should triumph age or time?
