He was on a different continent until then so would have been difficult.

Technically ‘met’ at 12 as we were at the same secondary school but didn’t speak a word to each other. I was 22 when we re-met 😂 It was the first actual conversation we’d ever had though. Then he was a bit of a plonker and was just a silly boy, didn’t want a relationship etc so we went our separate ways for 3 years. Finally at 25 we met for the third time and this time it was the right timing! Moved in together, got married and have a child (second one on the way)! I was always the single one so at 25 (haha!) had ruled out ever settling down, until he reappeared 😊timing is everything

18 but we only dated very briefly before going out separate ways and dating other people. Got together at 26. DH is 7 years older.

Catlover1705 · 03/02/2023 20:02

18 & 19, now 57 & 58, 2 daughters and 2 grandsons.

thaegumathteth · 03/02/2023 20:04

ChilliHeelerFanClub · 03/02/2023 20:07
  1. We’ve been together 14 years now and he’s still my best friend.
TwigTheWonderKid · 03/02/2023 20:08

BertieBob · 03/02/2023 20:08

LittleBear21 · 03/02/2023 20:10

Met and started dating at 19. Engaged at 27 and married at 28. 35 now, having welcomed our little boy home last summer.

Kenworthington · 03/02/2023 20:12

I was 21 and he was 23. Now 47 and 49

my ds1 was 18 when he met his partner. Now 24 and they are marrying this summer

my dd is 18 and I suspect she might end up staying with her bf too. His parents also got together same age as us and still married. My kids seem to view this as being completely usual due to us being together from young I think

CuteCillian · 03/02/2023 20:12

22 and he was 20.

larkstar · 03/02/2023 20:12

Got together when we were 12. Remained together all through school and university, married, kids... Now 61. Very happy.

Hbh17 · 03/02/2023 20:16

Got together when I was 24.
