That depends entirely on the situation. The question ‘If you had to choose between your parents or your lover, who would you choose?’ does not have enough information to make a recommendation. What are your parents’ objections to your lover? What are your parents like? Are they abusive? Racist? Totally unreasonable all the time? Or are they generally reasonable people who have your best interests at heart, and have some objection to this guy? My general advice is that at 18 people shouldn’t be making any life-altering decisions. That means that they shouldn’t be getting married, having children, and things like that. Although legal you are an adult at 18, you will not believe how much you will change in the next 5-10 years. Your goals, interests, values, and so on may be very different then than they are now. If you make lifelong commitments now, you will signifigantly limit your opportunities and choices in the future. In my own experience, I was in love at 17 with the man I thought I wanted to spend my life with. My mom advised me to wait to get married at least a few years – until I finished college. She said that if he really was someone I wanted to marry, then in 4 or 5 years he still would be there. And if I changed my mind in that time, then I wouldn’t be stuck in a marriage to a man I didn’t want anymore or be divorced in my early 20s. I took my mom’s advice, and within 2 years this man and I had grown apart. I realized that what I wanted out of life what not what he wanted and that in the long term, we were not compatable. I still think he’s a great guy and everything, but he just isn’t who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So I moved on. I realized that taking my mom’s advice was one of the best decisions of my life.
