That would be fiancée :). Two e's.
Oops. XD This made me really laugh at myself.
How long have you and your girlfriend been dating? When did she propose? If you don't sharing, how old are you both?
Our story is long, complicated and emotional.
I see. I guess that means it wasn't really a boy meets girl kind of story then. Have you considered publishing your story?
We spoke marriage even before we started to date though, considering our special circumstances.
if you don't mind sharing, what do you mean by that?
More living with friends like my wife and I did
What was living with friends like? Wasn't it a bit crowded especially as a married couple?
Work. I don't need to and once married she won't either.
How is that possible in this economy.. (Assuming you're both from the US?)
They all think they're original and funny, saying stuff like "so you're a criddle robber, eh?"
Was there a film or some sort that popularized this term? I rarely hear people use it but it seems you know quite a few?
Does she act older for her age? Is she still like any other teenage girl in her class?
I did some kendo but not nearly as seriously and it is an individual sport anyway.
I've seen kendo and maybe would like to try it someday. Would you recommend it? Did it really help teach how to fight and wield a sword (albeit wooden)?
You seem to be a big fan of Japanese culture. Are you still now? What does your username "kumesana" mean?
More rational points have been made and rationally answered, either in the face or between she and I.
Like what?
whether she knew of being in different places in life.
How did she answer that to her counselor and coach? How would you both answer that question now?
Have you considered keeping the relationship a secret
Hell the fuck no! Total dealbreaker, just no! That's the path of isolation, of shaming, of getting in dangerous situations, of losing ways to get out of a relationship you shouldn't stay in. No way in hell that can happen.
By secret, I meant not freely telling anyone about the relationship and being casual about it except with close people like family to avoid possible future issues. Do you still feel like the above though?
I'll just make us go our merry way to defuse a situation that seems on the verge of making a scene.
Has that almost happened before?
Yes. Again, people will get emotional when their berserk buttons are pushed.
What was the worst reaction like?
There was an universal reaction of surprise at the implication we weren't already in a relationship.
By this, you mean that people thought you two should date already and were surprised you hadn't?
It depends entirely on their approach, but mostly they are just distressed at the idea that at their age/when they were my age, they consider a teenager a child and being in a relationship/sleeping with a child horrifies them.
So do you think teenagers are able to date adults?
Where are you both from and what is life and people like there? (If you don't mind sharing)
What is your girlfriend's family like?
Thank you for taking the time to answer all of my questions.
