Having a boyfriend at any age can (and will) be a very trying experience. It certainly doesn't help that no two relationships are alike, and figuring out how to make it work with your boyfriend is a new experience every time.

What your priorities were at 15 are definitely not the same as they are at 18 -- and they could not be more opposite of those in your 20s.

But regardless of age, there are some concerns that you can't help but harp on -- the anxiety of meeting the family, trading sweatpants in for actual under garments and what to buy him for the holidays.

Life is never easy even when you have what you think you want, so it's no surprise these 53 things will cross your mind at one point or another...

2. Is that why they're divorced?
