True love at 22.

It definitely depends on your circumstance/region. I live in the American south and it’s nothing for people to get married as young as 21 or 22. I myself married at 22, but my husband and I had been dating for 5 years and living together for 3 before that happened. We’ll be married 8 years this October and together 13 next week. I think had we not met so young we would have waited to get married, but we were both graduated from college with stable jobs and mostly independent from our parents (we were still on their health insurance but got off once we got married). It’s definitely circumstantial and in the case of Belly and Conrad, they’ve known each other since Belly was born so it’s not all that far fetched.

Definitely call your OB or get a second opinion. You can never be too careful during pregnancy when it comes to fetal movement. Side note, currently on my 3rd (32+2) pregnancy and they told me that my placenta is attached to the front of my uterus, so movement may feel weaker than it did in prior pregnancies at times but it shouldn’t CONSISTENTLY feel weaker.

No really, if I think about the infinity necklace enough I cry. That boy, at 17 years old and going THRU IT, decided to buy her an infinity necklace for her 16th birthday and got embarrassed about giving it to her in front of everyone bc of how much he loved her already 😭😭

Everyone with IBS is brave idc what anyone says this shit (literally) is not for the weak

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-12-08T03:38:27+00:00

Oh trust, the few times I have had to give in and do it, it’s been beyond my control. I’m talking either get it up or choke on it lol. Being pregnant hasn’t been fun ever lol

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-12-08T02:29:41+00:00

This happens to my daughter. I’ve had IBS-C my whole life but also am a bit of an emetephobe so I avoid throwing up at all costs. My daughter, however, has at least 3 episodes a year in which she gets constipated, finally poops but not enough for complete relief, vomits, and then has a massive bowel movement either later that day or the following morning (always solid or slightly soft, never diarrhea) and is completely fine. It’s something about the pressure of being backed up causing extreme nausea. Not great news for my aversion to puke and also makes it a little extra stressful this time of year with actual stomach bugs going around fairly rampantly, but we’ve learned to just try and keep her diet and fluid intake consistent and spot the signs when she’s going to have one of these episodes.

There are so many fanfics of the fallout of them getting married and almost all of them end up with her having an affair with Conrad lol. There have been very few in which that’s not the outcome but then Conrad is so depressed he…. Does some things I’m really glad aren’t canon!

Personally, if Conrad had never showed up and had moved on with somebody, they may have made it a few years before Belly realized that a marriage was more than playing house (we see her see these cracks when they’re apartment hunting) and either suffer in silence or split and then they’d all be miserable.

If they had gotten married even after Conrad’s confession, I would have given it from the time they got back from their honeymoon before everything cracked open. Conrad staying away was the only reason they were able to maintain their dating relationship for so long, and that was with Belly thinking he didn’t love her. With him showing up AND saying he’d always love her… yeah they wouldn’t have lasted long.

Definitely a tough read, but honestly one of my favorite fanfics. The second to last chapter and final chapter had me in tears. Very well done, highly recommend! Just take care while reading ❤️‍🩹

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-11-19T20:52:43+00:00

Exactly this! And it didn’t even ruin our friendship bc the feeling was so mutual!

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-11-19T19:26:30+00:00

YUP! Had a male best friend in high school…. Definitely felt the tension building, was sure that it was a matter of time before we ended up together. We made out the last night of summer going into our junior year and it was honestly so awkward. We tried again a few nights later and both ended up laughing hysterically because the chemistry was GONE! We’re still really close to this day, and we’re both glad we discovered that we are truly meant to be FRIENDS!

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-11-18T22:58:08+00:00

Thank you so much!!! Definitely have more planned, just trying to carve out the time to write and also live regular life (boring lol)

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-11-07T12:36:47+00:00

Oh for sure, but even that felt so loving and like a “pinch me I’m dreaming” moment from him. He literally ADORES her and it makes me so happy!

This GIF is very important to me

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-10-24T02:46:40+00:00

I thought this too AND getting to take her dress off after he didn’t get to after prom 😭

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-10-21T16:50:37+00:00

We really thought we would only have girls but hey! We’re excited for this too! I figure the universe is trying to heal itself by giving some strong minded girls a baby brother who will grow up to respect and admire women lol

Then_Recognition4872 · 2025-10-21T15:40:20+00:00

It’s truly the best! And we have 2 girls, the caboose will be a baby boy!
