How old were you when you met your husband? How did you meet and how did you know that they were the one?
coming from my newly single 28-year-old that is feeling like she’s running out of time

thanks a lot

Met him at 11. Started dating at 15. Felt like I knew before we started dating but of course I was 14 and just a silly girl, but I was right, still together at 42.
