Met at 18. Married at 21. Now aged 72. We're not perfect but it works. 2 adult children.

Both age 12. Together 4 years. Couldn't say together for reasons that couldn't be changed, Still dream about him now. He told me the same. No regrets.

I was 34 when I met him, frankly I can’t wait to get married to him when he eventually asks. He’s my life partner and my everything.

We met at age 18, 20 years ago, he will always be the love of my life, life has moved on and our circumstances have never aligned since but I still think of him, we are still friends and I will never forget him. He will always be my favourite what if and and my hardest goodbye. I believe I will love him and think if him my whole life.

Met him at 21, got married at 27, divorced at 35....alone until I met a wonderful man in my 50s. Been together 8 years so far and couldnt be happier. I cant see us ever breaking up. Think sometimes.you known yourself better later in life and can make good relationships..

Bonjovispyjamas · 22/06/2025 22:55

35, he was my cat 😹

Flamingoknees · 22/06/2025 22:55

21,he was 26.
Now 56 and 61-even though it's only 5 years, the age difference is a lot more obvious now.

What happened?

Dita73 · 22/06/2025 23:47

Actually met him when I was 8 and he was 15 but we got together 10 years later. Now been together for 33 years

SumUp · 22/06/2025 23:50

42 - he’s my soulmate.

boccaallupo · 22/06/2025 23:53

46 😊

Thisshirtisonfire · 22/06/2025 23:55

I met him at 21 but we didn't become a couple until I was 27. We were friends for those intervening years.
I'm 38 now and we are married with 3 children.

elm26 · 23/06/2025 00:12

13, met at school and lived in the same village. Married at 21, our first was born when we were 29 & 30 now expecting our second at 32 & 33. We’ve been through hell and back together, 13 miscarriages, a mental breakdown and starting and running a business but somehow we seem to conquer it all and I love him more than ever!

user593 · 23/06/2025 00:13

26 but it didn’t settle into a stable relationship for very many years.
