anyone had a 'whirlwind' relationship?

[frazzledfairy]

just being nosey!

dh and i met in sept 05 (i already had ds1 aged nearly 5), moved in together jan 06, had ds2 in aug 06, got married in oct 06 and are expecting no 3 in nov!

Dh and I had known each other for years and we very good friends, but:
July started going out in
August got engaged
November got married

... and that was 15 years ago and we are still ecstatically happily married

Yesterday we were chatting in the staffroom and I made some comment about something dh had done for me, and a colleague remarked "Oh, I bet you haven't been married long, have you? It won't last!" Which made me chuckle, as I've been married longer than her.

met Feb 01, got together Jul 01,

married Oct01,

pregnant with dd1 Nov 01, Dd1 born Aug01,

dd2 born Nov 04,

babe no3 coming Fri.

got told by a few people that it would not last - one woman in particular said it would end in tears..... strangely we are still together and she and partner broke up a few years ago.

We met May 2000, he moved in to my house in the July and found out I was pg in the August.
Dd1 was born the following year, then we got marrioed in 2003.
Dd2 was born in 2004.
Still madly in love!!

We met end of August 2000, moved in together (him moving half way down the country) in October 2000, we got married in December 2000, had DS1 March 2002, DS2 December 2006 and we are still happy and together and hopefully will be for a long long time to come.

On top of that, we have a 13 year age gap and I was only 17 when we got married!

Met on holiday in June, Engaged the next April, married the next March.

Then it all slows up and we had ds shortly before our 6th wedding anniversary.

Met Sept 28th, first date Oct 8th, engaged 16th Dec, brought flat & moved in together 1st July. Married the following June. 9th wedding anniversery coming up.

We didn't move in together (well apart from me spending 3/4 nights a week at his and hime spending 3/4 nights a week at mine as we were both in 'house shares' and didn't want to waste money renting a flat while looking for somewhere to buy.

Still very very happy

BTW my parents were also engaged within three months and married three months later, still together 42 years later

I met my DH o/s in May05, got engaged 3 weeks later, married in Feb 06. Another friend had similar experience, still happily married, 2 kids, 25yrs later. When you know, you just know.

Whoops time flies, thats met in May04, married Feb05! Crikey, I thought DH was bad at dates. Expecting first DC in June.

met DH in Feb 2002, engaged by June, pregnant by November, married 6 months after DS1 was born and when DS1 was 8 months concieved DS2! We have not been without our problems but we are really great together and we make fabulous children!!

Me and DH met mid May 05, moved in together end of May 05, married in July 05, having a baby together next month (took a while to conceive). It can and does work, you just know when you've met the right person for you

Indeed, peace.

As my grandfather said, 'When you know it's right, and she/he knows, why wait? No one can be sure of the future, why not embrace what'll make you both happy now while you've the chance?'

what a lovely thread

dh and i are going strong but have promised ourselves that when this baby is a few months old we will go on a few dates together, something we have never done!

my husband and i met in aug 01 spent 2 days together then he was back to the army for 8 weeks, the first day he got back (october) we got engaged (after only spending just over 2 days with each other but much more on phone) we moved in together 2 weeks later (november) i fell pregnant in the febuary and we got married in the april, we had been together 7 and a half months at that point, things were great between us until a few months ago and have now gone a bit pear shaped (actually a huge bit pear shaped) it will be out 6th wedding anniversary in 2 weeks time.

i am kinda hoping that we can work things out, i spend so long thinking he was my soul mate and i loved the bones of him but got diffrent feelings now.

im not sure if things would have been any difrent had we waited a while before getting married etc. suppose you never know what the future will bring no matter how longyou have been with someone.

He proposed 7 weeks after we met, we would have maried immediately but I was still trying to get a divorce sorted. It seemed that natural thing to do. Lived together a year after meeting and married 14 months after meeting, as soon as divorce came through.

My mother thought I had gone mad - in all fairness she hadn't met him when I anounced I was getting re-married.

DH is my longest one night stand !!

I had just come back from working in the US (AUG 98), went out for a drink with some girlfriends that evening - met a friend ( bloke) who was out with DH we were introduced - I went back to his for "coffee" and met again the next Thursday for dinner - he gave me a set of keys to his house - I moved in by the end of Sept 98, engaged Oct 98 and married May 99 !!!

I met xp in Oct 96, moved in with him in Nov 96 and had dd1 in Nov 97.

Would have married sooner but I forgot I was still mmarried

We met in the January, told my kids in the March/April, fell pregnant in July, miscarried early August, got married mid August.

I have to point out that we grew up in the same street and both had major crushes on each other but only went out for a few months. When I fell pg with DS1 by somebody else (when I was age 16, 1993), he left town and I never saw him again until January 2001 completely by accident. Still married now, have had a few ups and downs but are deeply in love and pg with our own baby now.

My story is soooooo much longer than that but its a snapshot for you!

My parents got engaged after 3 mths and married the next year.

I, on the otherhand, was with dh for 5 years before marriage, 2 years of which we were engaged. We were married for 5 years when I got pg with ds.

My mother still told me that she was worried I was "rushing into marriage" (even though she loves dp) just because I was 23. From Mrs Three Months? WTF?

Got together July
Moved in August
I was pg by November (would have been sooner, but took 3 months to conceive)
Bought house together the following June
DD born July!

Married 18 months later.

DH and I had been friends for 8 years. It was as if the scales suddenly fell from our eyes...

Me and dp worked together for almost a year and both fancied each other but we were in relationships.
Both split with our ex's in June 05,went out a couple of times and ds was conceived in july05.
We moved in together in August 05 and are now ttc #2.
The first time i met dp's parents was like...Hi im....by the way im having your grandchild {blush]

We met beggining July 04, got together Sep 04 and were engaged by Dec 04. I moved in with him and his parents Jan 05 (had been swapping between 2 places, decided 2 lots of rent was silly!) I then fell preg April 05 m/c July, started renting a flat aug 05, found out pg again jan 06 had a wonderful DS Oct 06. We are now looking wether to buy a house or get married!!!!(can't afford both)

We met a week after he came to England. He planned to be here for 3 months and he has never gone back!!!!
