Radagast Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 How old were you when you married your first partner? Are you still with them?? If so, how long have you been together??? When we got together I'd just arrived at university, she was an older married woman enrolling for postgraduate study to escape the tedium of married life. We moved in together and set up home soon after her husband discovered the affair. After her divorce she had no wish to remarry and we continued to live together. When the tax laws changed it made financial sense to marry and she reluctantly agreed. We were married for about 30 years. No we are no longer together.
SoMovinOn Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 How old were you when you married your first partner? Are you still with them?? If so, how long have you been together??? 18 Thankfully, No! We were together 8 years.
123321 Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Married in mid-20s, lasted almost 20 years, divorced when she discovered I wasn't going to allow myself to be manipulated any more. Almost paid off that mistake.
standtall Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Married at 26. Been married for going on 16yrs..yes, I love her much more now than when we got married.
The Blue Knight Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 1st Time ___________________ Had just turned 22 when I married. She was 23.No, she filed for divorce after 14 years of marriage and a couple of affairs. 2nd Time ___________________ I was 37 and she was 26.Just celebrated our 15th.Still seems to be on track. 3
The Blue Knight Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 The first one was a cross-dresser who - after almost three years together - never could say the "L" word... The second one hid the fact that he was functionally illiterate. When we started dating in my late 20s, it wasn't a big deal that he only wore jeans and a t-shirt, had long hair, and didn't have a driver's license. As I approached my 40th year, he was only capable of getting a job as a night stock-clerk at Target, still couldn't drive, didn't have a GED, and had done nothing to improve himself whatsoever. I was the breadwinner (working three jobs) to keep us afloat. The third one is what brought me to LS; although well-educated and intelligent, he is/was a narcissistic alcoholic who kept prostitutes on the side and preferred the bottle to a stable relationship. We traveled the world together and now he lives on skid row. THIS one is essentially Prince Charming to me: Ivy League-educated, speaks nine languages, a well-regarded surgeon, sings in several choirs, has a pilot's license, loves to travel, loves classical music and opera. And is kinky like me.... Nice to see you never settled for less than you believed you deserved Carrie. I assume Prince Charming can say "I love you" in all nine languages?
zengirl Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 How old were you when you married your first partner? Are you still with them?? If so, how long have you been together??? 1. 26. He was 29. 2. Yep. 3. Together one year, married five months. I guess those numbers sound crazy to some, but our engagement was about 2 weeks long because neither of us wanted a wedding and we both already knew this was 'it' -- or so we hope, of course.
Mutant Debutante Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 1. 26. He was 29. 2. Yep. 3. Together one year, married five months. I guess those numbers sound crazy t:love:o some, but our engagement was about 2 weeks long because neither of us wanted a wedding and we both already knew this was 'it' -- or so we hope, of course. I love it that you are even crazier than me. We've been together about a year and a half, we've been married for a month. Yep, still together. I'm 25, he's 30. Honestly I never thought I'd get married, but I guess I just couldn't let this one get away. We were also only engaged for a couple weeks , we just had a small ceremony with family in a garden. 1

Saxis Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Met and worked together when I was 18, her 16. Started dating at 20 and 18, married at 22 and 20. It lasted 5 years (with 2 years of separation). Divorce was final 2.5 years ago, but we still parent our daughter together. Finally starting to consider marriage again, but that has mostly to do with the amazing woman I found only 6 months ago.
NoReallyThatHappened Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Married at 25. He was 24. Divorced at 26. He was 25. lol (Total nutjob he was.) Married again at 32. DH is 37. We're a whole one month into this whole marriage thing. It's so much better this time!
HHC Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 How old were you when you married your first partner? 25 Are you still with them?? Yes If so, how long have you been together??? Over 10 years Strange that you ask about when couples get married and not actually when they met. Once might take from that you assume all people get married early on in their relationship
Sadwife37 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Started dating in high school -age 16. Together since 16 and married after finishing university - age 26 Been married 10 years last July. 6 months ago discovered he was having an affair that has being ongoing for 3 years. We are trying to work through it and will hopefully stay together. My belief is 16 is way too young to start your forever relationship . Lesson learned the hard way.
