An 18 year old that has a curfew, sounds like someone wound the string too tight. If I had to guess, the guy treats her better than her family so she went with it like a moth to flame.
The guy will most likely end up in prison and the kid will write this off as something that happened when she was young and stupid.
Shakespeare with a little Facebook thrown in for good measure...
I had a friend from HS who married one of the teachers (I think it was the summer after we graduated). When I heard she had gotten married (I think it was while I was at the beach), I thought she had married her HS age boyfriend. Yes, I was clueless in HS (and probably still am :p). They were married for at least 20 years. I didn't see her much and eventually found out they were divorced (he probably found another young wife), so I can say how long they'd been married, but I'm pretty sure it was after her first child graduated from HS.
Now what's different here is, as far as I know, he was already divorced from his ?1st? wife.
I had a curfew when I was 18, too. Didn't seem unusual at the time. It was also flexible, and was relaxed for special events like prom. Then I went off to college, and we had curfews in college, too. Man, those days seem long ago!
This girl is going to find out pretty soon that the reality of living with a 43-year-old man is far different than the thrill of sneaking around with this "experienced" older man.
Most colleges don't have curfew anymore, especially Gallaudet University.
Oh, I know. I'm speaking about way back in the late '60's, early '70s.
My mom and most of my friends' moms enforced a curfew as long as kids were in high school, but it was reasonable - 10:00 on school nights, midnight on "date nights."
Curfew at my university (Michigan State) was 12:00 on weeknights and I think 1:00 on weekends. If your date brought you back to the dorm after the doors were locked, the Resident Assistent would let you in but you got docked "late minutes." If the guy was a gentleman, he was supposed to give you, the following day, one rose for every late minute he had caused you.
If you got more than 15 "late minutes" in a term, then you were grounded for a weekend, couldn't leave the dorm at all.
Almost unbelieveable now, thinking about it, but at the time, universities typically had parental-type rules, especially for freshmen and sophomores.
Of course, some of us smarter ones did figure out that you only got in trouble for coming *back* to the dorm after curfew. If you stayed out all night and didn't come back in until after the doors opened again in the morning (at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m.), no problem, because the RAs didn't do bed checks. This came in useful a time or two for me.
By the mid-point of my sophomore year, things began to change, and eventually the whole curfew/late minutes thing was dropped.
There usually is a pattern of behavior with these creeps. His has now been revealed.
Nope, I grew up in Mobile, Alabama and I still know the state law. A male/female 18 years old or older can marry regardless of the parents permission. A 18 year old in Alabama is not a child.
