To alll marrieds (smug or otherwise)

AmandaD28

I'm 29 now had a couple of boyfriends not really serious in my teens then met a man who I quickly fell in love with (in hindsight I was flattered because he was older than me I think) I was 18 and he was 25 had been married before I hadnt quickly set up home and had DS1 I later married him and again with hindsight should never have done so it seemed like the right thing to do at the time though we had a child together and I didn't really know what life was meant to be about I thought being miserable was part of being married ! Sad but true lol

we divorced 2 and a half yrs later when I was 25 and he'd cheated twice ! Met my current (and last ever) OH when I was 27 and now I know what it is to be happy I now know that being in a long term relationship isn't about just being happy its about having your soulmate and best friend by your side whatever happens we had planned to get married this November but have now postponed as we are expecting a child together I look at him all the time and wonder how I was so lucky to meet him and have him with me he treats me like a pincess and I would marry him tomorrow (which is a big thing coz after the mess of my last marriage I swore I'd never ever do it again it means nothing and all the rest of it) can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him !

That sounds very smug doesn't it ? Its not meant to be I just know he is the one he'd never do anything to hurt me I am sure of that ! I thought i'd have trust issues but I don't I trust him implicitly. Hee deserves my trust though he is a good man he has taken me and my two kids on and gives us way more than I could've dreamed of

I believe the right person is out there for everyone now and it's just a case of meeting them I met my OH through one of those flirting applications on facebook believe it or not ! He lived around the corner from my university and it took ages before we agreed to meet up and I did so against the advice of all my friends but I am so glad I ignored them, had I listened to them I would probably still be on my own I'm painfully shy when it comes to blokes I don't think I'm a minger or anything I'm normal tall (5ft 10") slim (size 12) blonde hair curves but don't really attract much attention when out coz I don't ooze confidence so doubt I was ever gonna meet anyone conventionally !

I only really had one boyfriend before meeting Hubby and we only went out for 5 months and I didn't even really like him that much and definately didn't love him. In fairness I think the feeling was mutual

I then met Hubby. We met online (on a friendship website, not a dating website). We were both quite lonely at the time and initially it was just a friendship thing although I think we both very quickly realised we liked each other - like that. I know it sounds crazy but I honestly thought I loved him before we even met - which made meeting for the first time very scary (what if we realised we didn't like each other).

Anyway we met in the first week of 2006 (I was 21 and he was 27) after about a month of talking on the phone ALL the time and the rest as they say is history. We got married in 2008 and we’re now trying for our first baby.

I had a number of disastrous flings and semi-"relationships" when I was a student (age 18-21), one of which was pretty serious (at least on my part) but which would never have worked out - the guy was freshly divorced and was an emotional mess, and wasn't in any position to settle down with anybody least of all me (age 19-20 at the time).

I then met my husband at age 21, married him age 22 and we've been together 9 years with two kids.

I'm 34 and had 2 serious relationship before DH. Each were for approx 3 years, 1 of which we lived together.

DH and I have been together for just over a year and married for 4 months and now I'm 7 weeks PG we both "knew" very, very quickly.

I'm female, and 30. I had four long-term relationships, ranging from 9 months to two years, between the ages of 18 and 27. All of these relationships, after a year or so (apart from the 9 month one, obviously) felt like they ran their course and fizzled out, some took longer than others for me to build the courage to break them off. I just realised that this wasn't the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and have always been the type of person who moves on quickly (mentally I mean, there was always a period of time between relationships, I didn't jump from one to the next).

I then met my now husband at work, we got together December 2008, married January 2011 and I'm now 13 weeks pregnant with our first baby. If anyone had told me when we first started seeing each other that it would turn into a forever thing then I'd have thought they were joking, but now I can't imagine being with anyone else!

None at all.

Met my husband when I was 18, got engaged 4 weeks later.

vesper

Not quite married yet but only another 7 weeks to go.
I had only had one relationship before I met my OH, it wasn't even a serious one, it was just a normal teenage fling.
I met my OH when I was 18 and he was 26 (he had already had several serious relationships including being engaged once), now over 8 years later we are getting married.

My OH's parents married after knowing each other for 2 weeks and were until OH's mother's death last year after 35 years of marriage.
