The 15 year old might be 'above his age' and less innocent than his peers, but he is still a child and he is still going to wake up one day & realize that he's missed out on a LOT of life experiences as a result of all this. It won't be happily ever after for either party.
I agree with you completely. These are life choices they they are making and will have to deal with, unhappily ever after as they may be.
