How long were you together before marriage/living together?

[Schema]

Probably been done before but ...

How long were you and your OH together before you a) got married and b) moved in together?

Just curious

in bed after 2 hours, engaged after 2 weeks, married after 10 months, still together after 29 years!

Met in May and had weekly Saturday night smooches.

Took things a little further in August.

Became a couple in September

Moved in following April.

Married three and a half years later (last July)

First baby due in eight weeks :)

One night stand Friday night, woke up Sat morn and he went and got his stuff and moved in.

12 weeks later I was pregnant.

3 years later (and 3 days after getting my decree abs) we married.

5 years later we still haven't had a night apart.

Loves him, I do

Monkey face take it you were recently split up.

I'd been split up from ex partner of seven years two weeks when I met DH?

Last thing I wanted, but when you know, you know....

met on Saturday, he moved in with me on Tuesday. We decided to get married immediately but waited 3 weeks to announce it Had a joint mortgage three months later & were married 5 months after that.

Still together nearly 15 years & 4 children later :)

We married a year to the day of meeting. I wish we'd married sooner - we both knew straight away. We were driving past Gretna Green the day after our first date, I do wish we'd have just married there and then! :)
But we lived miles away from each other, so he had to find a job down my way. He moved in three weeks before the wedding, would have moved in after, but the new job came up, and he couldn't commute to it from his old home.
Our toddler is our honeymoon baby.

Got married just under 2 years after meeting, both had our own houses before so spent time at both, then moved into one after we got married. Together 4 and a half years now and about to have first baby. Have also just moved into our 'family home' as the other two always felt more like they belonged to one or other of us :)

Rowanhart, had split from exH 10 days prev.

He was an arse.

I make no apologies. I had a young dd too, but still make no apologies. I just knew

Me and my dp have been together for 6 years.
He moved in with me within the first month. We were pregnant by 4 months.
We're still not married.

Slept together first night, moved in after four years, married after another six.
Amazed at the speedy-marriage stories on here, I must be built differently.

Moved in together after about 7 months, and married after 5 years.

We were together for nine years before we got married. I wanted to be completely certain .

We had been together for two years when we got engaged and moved in together. We've been together for 11 years now, married for two.

Maybe age is a factor, igsis. I was 34 when I met my husband, I didn't have six years to wait for starting a family.

I know what you mean, though we met when I was 30 so not much in it! Didn't wait till I was married for the kids though.

Met in May 83 when she arrived, aboard her Peugeot bike. in the YHA group I'd been in for a couple of years. We circled around each other for a few months before getting together on bonfire night.

Split time between each other's bedsits until getting a flat together in Feb 85. Couple of houses later and a move out of London before DD was born in 92 and DS in 94.

Thirty years next year but still not married.

moved in after three months, got engaged after a year, married @ 2 and the baby arrived circa yr3. when it's right it's right.

if I had existing children though I'd be MUCH more cautious - I've been on the receiving end of that.

Pretty much moved in from day 1, I just never went home. Eventually got my stuff and moved in officially after a month. Got married 4 years later.

Three years after we got together we got hitched and I moved in with DH.

My job and where I lived was 50 miles away so a sort of mid distance relationship. Spent weekends together from week 1 though.

Dp and I are moving in together next month which will be 9 months of being together. Discussed marriage and "our wedding" lots so I hope he gets on it soon!
