What was your life like when you first met your partner?

[OneUmberJoker]

I was a mess , single for 12 years

6 years post separation from ExH (short marriage, uni boyfriend). A couple of happy short relationships and plenty of fun meaningless flings in the meantime. I’d reached a high point in my career and had just bought my own flat in London. I was 36 and he was 41. We got married and had a baby when I was 38 and another baby at 42. Now approaching 20 years together and 18 years wed
