Back in Feb 1983 I had a MASSIVE crush on a lad - I knew my mum wouldn’t like him even back then as he’s working class ! 😮 - and she was a snob!!

Anyway I’m pleased to confirm that we got to know each other, made a connection, and now in 2025 I’m pleased to say he’s the most important person in my life 😊 - my raison d’etre !!

we overcame the odds - I love my ‘Working Class Hero’ ❤️❤️

Just for context in February 1983 Kajagoogoo were no 1 with ‘Too Shy’.

So what were you doing in Feb 1983??!

I can’t believe that me, the shy, awkward unhappy girl in Feb 1983 - well my dream came true ! ❤️

Did your Mum know you ended up with him?
If so, what did she think?

MugsyBalonz · 25/01/2025 22:22

So what were you doing in Feb 1983??!

I was an infant so some combination of sleeping/shitting/feeding, I'd imagine.

Congratulations, OP.

I was rolling around in my mother's womb.

But congratulations, hope you're very happy.

fourelementary · 25/01/2025 22:26

In 1983 I was in my first year of primary school.
My husband was working in a Bank and 18. I always find that the weirdest thing about an age gap marriage- thinking about him being an adult when I was literally an infant!!!

But he is a wonderful man and my dream came true as well. Albeit not one I had in 1983!!

Ah. Long time then !delighted you are still together .

Whachamacallit · 25/01/2025 22:31

I’m grinning from ear to ear for you op.

I was in love for the first time in 1983 - we were 6 and he didn’t even know I existed. Grew up to be a knobhead though so no regrets there 😂

MrsMoastyToasty · 25/01/2025 22:41

I was studying for my O'levels....and wondering how I could get Simon Le Bon to marry me....

PollyCreo · 25/01/2025 22:41

Aww 🥰 My brother had a crush on a girl in his badminton club in the 80s. Many years later (after their own failed marriages) they met up and got married last year 😍

Blownupblowndown · 25/01/2025 22:41

I was being born (09/02/1983)

Puppydog83 · 25/01/2025 22:46

I was about to be conceived!! I was born in Sept 1983 but my Mum only went 7 months so that makes it around Feb 83.

How has 41 years gone so quick! I still feel like it was only last week I was writing 1994 in my writing book at primary school.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/01/2025 22:48

I had just started secondary school and was dreaming about marrying George Michael. My periods had just started. I’m really surprised that you had a crush on someone older when you were primary age.

TheLargestToblerone · 25/01/2025 22:53

Congratulations OP! I am sorry for the loss of your mum, and hope she was happy for you in the end.

I wasn't yet around, but as a massive horse racing nerd the first thing I think of hearing February 1983 is that Shergar was kidnapped. I'm glad there are happier things for you to remember 😂

cafenoirbiscuit · 25/01/2025 22:59

I was 15 and practicing my signature for when I got married to Curt Smith from Tears For Fears 🥰🤣
ironically I did marry a man who was a Smith so the practice wasn’t wasted !
