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

Just interested....

27 - together for 13 years and been married for the last two of them. We’ve had great times and terrible times and now just quietly adore each other (occasionally adore the idea of murdering the other too 😂). He’s a bit weird, geeky, incredibly smart, generous and one of the most caring guys I’ve ever met. And he puts up with me! I lucked out (and so did he 😎)

I met him at 18 married at 20 and still together 52 years later. We have had our ups and downs but definitely more ups. I wouldn’t be without him.

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/07/2024 19:29

I haven't, I'm coming up 55. I won't go there again.

PatchworkElmer · 03/07/2024 19:29

Met at 22, got together properly at 24. Still together now, very happily married.

Moier · 03/07/2024 19:29

I was 16.. he was 17.
Would have been together 50 years this September.. but sadly he's in the Spirit world.

I was 18, he was 24 and we just had an amazing whirlwind romance for a few months falling in love over one summer and still now over a decade on we are married with two kids and still so loved up!

31, he is genuinely perfection, it’s like I’ve used a spell to make the perfect person for me, sadly he didn’t have access to the same spell 🤣

However 26 too, I personally don’t believe in the one, I believe in one at a time, but lots of people could be your person.

That's how I feel about my husband. Ooh I love him so much. We met when I was 31.

frozendaisy · 03/07/2024 19:36

Just turned 30 still together with two teens, happier as time goes by, 20 years and counting

25, he died of cancer at 37. Been on my own 7.5 years, don’t expect to marry again.

so sorry. Mine died 13 years ago but at least we had longer

perfectcolourfound · 03/07/2024 19:39

Thought I had at 19. Realised it wasn't. Found 'the one' at 38.

Babbahabba · 03/07/2024 19:45

I haven't and I'm 44 and divorced but I have been in love/been loved a few times. I don't subscribe to the concept of soulmates/one true love though. I think there are many people we can potentially be compatible with, a lot of it is luck/timing/circumstance.

TimPat · 03/07/2024 19:57

23 when we met, been together 16 years and I'd say our relationship now is the best it's ever been.

Howareu · 03/07/2024 19:58

IMustDoMoreExercise · 03/07/2024 20:11

protectoroftherealm · 03/07/2024 20:15

I was 18, he 24. We married when I was 21 and now I'm 40! Gets on my tits quite a lot and I get on his but we laugh about it and have a lovely life!

VirginiaGirl · 03/07/2024 20:24

I thought I had at:

24 But he did not want to have children so I could not marry him. I adored him.

27 I married him and we had children. Married 20 years. Will always love him for all the fun we had and our amazing children. Amicably separated.

50 Meeting him felt like someone had gently placed a warm, fluffy blanket around me. He healed so much pain for me.

Lots of time spent on my own over the years, too so I know I can be content alone with my cats and my books.

crackfoxy · 03/07/2024 20:31
  1. Still together 29 years later
avocadotofu · 03/07/2024 20:34

I was 20. We met 20 years ago.
