Why in the world should the OP respect a person who automatically assumes things about her and degrades her because she was born at a certain time? Mother or not,she shouldn't expect respect if she's not willing to respect her daughter,especially not because of such a dumb reason such as her age. How is that a fact? Do you know about every teenage relationship to say that all of them are meaningless? Or is my love somehow not existent because I came out of a ****** after someone else did?

My Aunt and Uncle just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. They have been together since my aunt was 14. I would LOVE to hear you tell them that teenage relationships are meaningless, you overgeneralising idiot.

I have to agree we don't know the circumstances of of the divorce and of course the mom is going to get mad. To throw it in the mom's face is disrespectful. Most teenage relationships don't last that's why adults don't take teen relationships seriously. Meeting someone in HS and staying together through college & getting married is rare. Most teens don't really understand relationships/commitment look at half the stuff on here. You date and you learn that's part of it finding out what you want and how to work out problems in the relationship.

OP's mom sounds like she might not have hit adulthood mentally speaking. I'm all about respecting your elders. But first, she deameaned OP purely based on age, and then resorted to what sounds like pretty harsh violence when the irony of the comment was pointed out to her. Who's the adult in that relationship? Certainly not OP's mom right then

Age has a lot to do with it. Most people at a young age aren't ready for serious relationships or aren't aware of consequences. Commenting on the mom's divorces was her snapping back and was wrong. Just because she had been divorced several times doesn't mean the OP knows or understands what the circumstances were. OP YDI

#129: Considering that OP's mother has divorced three times, it's quite probable that OP's mother is the common denominator.

Wrong, #90. About everything. What annoys me most about your post is your assumption that all teen relationships are meaningless. My parents met when they were 15 and are still happily married and are celebrating their 35th anniversary this year. Just because you couldn't keep a partner, doesn't mean that no one can.
