Just that really.
How old were you when you found your person and found real love?

Just interested....

18 and still together 24 years later!

I don't think you can say it was your happy loved up ending until your at the end of your life. It's more happy loved up now. Things change, people change, relationships, life happens.

I found him when I was 40, he was 33. I did not know I was capable of loving someone as much as I loved him. We only had three and a half years together when he suddenly developed cancer and died weeks later. I have never loved anyone since. That was 25 years ago.

Greatmate · 03/07/2024 18:26

I met my husband at 30. We are currently 45 so 15 years together. I love him but is he my happy ending? If he cheats, changes his political perspective, suddenly become very religious, wants more kids, I will divorce his arse. There are things that are deal breakers for me. I love him but love isn't enough.

  1. I'm 42 now we are getting married in 11 weeks
Sunnytwobridges · 03/07/2024 18:28

I thought I had at 18 but alas he obviously didn't as he ghosted me 4 yrs later. 53 now and still haven't yet.😞

Muffin101 · 03/07/2024 18:29

Met now-DH when I was 21. I bloody hope he’s it for me, I absolutely adore him still, a decade later.

pikkumyy77 · 03/07/2024 18:30

30 and married at 35, children 36,38. Just celebrated 29 years of marriage and 34 years together. Wait for what is good. Don’t jump at things that won’t last.

Yea. This.

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 03/07/2024 18:34

Just after I turned 18. I was a lonely teenager and I’d wanted a relationship for a while but I’m too socially awkward to meet anyone the usual way and I was previously too young for dating apps. Started joining apps on my 18th birthday and my DH popped up as a 96% match based on questions about our personalities. We’ve been together for 8 years now and have a son.

flipflopsandsun · 03/07/2024 18:35

I was 33 he was 35, been together 10 years married for three.

RosaBaby2 · 03/07/2024 18:35

If you haven't ended yet then you can't really say whether you've found that one person yet! Like pp says ANYTHING can happen, even if you're convinced it won't.

Can tell I'm single and a pessimist 😅
