miss_jaclynrae Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Title pretty much says it all. Just wondering what peoples timelines look like. When you first got together, when you moved in together, when you got engaged, when you got married, and when you had kids. If you haven't reached some of then, do you have a time that you want them to happen? I'll start based off of my last marriage. Moved in together after 6 months, engaged after 11 months, married after 1 year, no kids, divorced after 3 years marriage. Edited June 7, 2013 by miss_jaclynrae
dichotomy Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Current marriage - engaged after 1 year, married 6 months later, moved in after wedding, instant kid (step), biokid 3 years later. Although I work and yearn for a better marriage (is my focus at the moment).....all my major life accomplishments have been fulfilled. Is that strange? Kind of wondering whats next on the timeline.

Ninja'sHusband Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Met at 18 Dated at 19 Married at 22 (moved in together when we married) First child at 27 Separated at 36 Divorce will probably happen while I'm still 37. She's almost to the day a year older than me, so +1 for her ages.

sunshinegirl Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Met: May 2009 (me 35, him 36) Started dating: Oct 2009 Engaged: May 2010 (about a year after we met) Moved In: June 2010 Married: Oct 2010 (a year after we started dating) First Kid: Apr 2012
ThomasD Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I was about a month short of 22 when we started writing to each other (sight unseen; no previous acquaintance). She is just a few months older than me. Met in-person about 3-1/2 months after first letters. Neither of us was dating anybody else at that time, and didn't have anybody we were interested in dating so never had any discussions about being "exclusive" (is that what used to be called "going steady"?). After first meeting there was still a distance problem but within a few weeks we were spending most weekends together. 3 months after first meeting we were engaged but didn't make a general announcement for another couple of weeks. One year plus two weeks after first meeting we married. Double-virgin wedding night. Moved in together. We were both 23. First kid arrived almost 6 years after marriage (about age 30), though we lost one about 2 years earlier. Almost 40 years after first meeting: 2 kids married; 3 grandkids; youngest kid is unmarried but a grad student half a continent away. And still married to each other.
melodymatters Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Met at work May 2011 Became good friends, were attracted to each other but I wouldn't go there because of age difference ( I'm in my 40's he's in his 20's) August 2011 I kissed him, but then said that was it, no one could know, it was " wrong" etc. I owned a 2bdrm place and had just lost my roommate, he had a terrible roommate situation so he moved in two weeks later just as friends. That night he asked where he should sleep and I said well, the guest room, the couch or I have a queen sized bed...:D We got married October 2011, and have been through a lot: job loss, moving out of state, death of a close family member of mine, his family disowning him ( not because of me) and yet, here we are, in a truly happy, supportive best friend relationship, nearly zero fights and looking forward to our 2 yr anniversary this October ! Life is crazzzzzyyyyyy, but FUN !
