How old did you meet your husband?

[marie78280]

Currently 28 and single again after a failed relationship.
slowly losing hope.
when did you find your hudband how old were you back then?

11! We went to school together. But didn’t get together until 20, 15 years on and now married with 2 DC!

Met when I was 18. Dated when I was 23 and he was 28. Married at 24, he was 30. First child for me at 26, him at 32. Second child for me 30, him 36. 29th wedding anniversary this year. Still the best thing I ever did.

Met him when I was 17, but didn’t officially get together until I was 24, he was 26.
Married at 32 & 34. Been together 30 years.

28 is not old to find love.

29 (he was 36)
Moved in together at 31 (38)
First child at 33 (40)
Married at 33 (41)
Second child at 35 (43)

I was 22 when we met, married at 25. Know plenty of people who met late twenties/early thirties too though.

21 but we’re an odd couple in many ways. (Now both in our 50’s).

16

Met him at 17, married at 18, still married to him age 54! But I do think that's quite unusual to get married so young and it's lasted - more luck then judgement really 😂

28 is still really young, you've got years yet to find the one!

31! Now 40 with 2 kids. Don’t stress 🥰

Met age 18 at university, got together 19, married for seven years, together for 14 years in total so far

I was 26, he was 34. Together 11 years, married for 7.

ETA - and had our first child together last year.

19, married only in late 30s though!

we were both 25 when we met. Married 7 years later and been married for 29 years

Met when I was 24 (he was 30); started dating at 26; married just before I was 30; (DDs at 36 and 39); 22 very good years of marriage; now a widow.

33. We moved in together literally on the day after our first date, married three months in and still together now at 40. You've plenty of time!

I’m intrigued by this. I’m 35 and have spent most of my adult life single and I honestly love it. I worry that I’ll get married etc. but ultimately miss my natural state of thriving singledom and the partnership will all unravel after a few years. Is that more or less what happened for you? Are you co-parenting / is he still part of your child’s life?

34. Been married 30 years.

Those of you who met your partner after 45: did you reach a point before that where you honestly thought you’d never be in a relationship again?

I was 21 - in 1987.

We’re not divorced yet so still very much living together. We co-parent equally so that won’t change when the divorce is done and we sell up but we have another 6-9 months in the same house I expect.

Our relationship just broke down but there’s been no specific reason, no cheating or abuse or anything awful. It’s amicable (although still sad). I loved living on my own though so not in the least bothered about being single
again, but I am sad for DD that she will have a split home set up. We are 47 and 52 and I don’t imagine either will rush to another relationship- I don’t want to live with a man again anyway and especially not while DD at home. Ex feels the same although I appreciate things can change.

Met my partner when I was 17 and he was 31 😬 now 35 and 49 with 2 children.

29

Met him age 21. Married age 25. Kids at 27 and 30. Separated age 33, divorced age 36. Sometimes it’s best not to marry young 🙃

First husband 20 lasted 8 years.
2nd husband 30 lasted 6 months and annulled as he went awol directly after the wedding.
3rd husband 38 lasted for 20 years.
