I met DH when I was 18. The only other relationship I had was for 2 months before I met DH. I ended the relationship when I met my now DH. I knew he was the one for me.

I met my OH when I was 21, started "going out" one year later, and married three years after that. We have now been married 18 years with three children.

No previous relationships whatsoever.

(not a married, so sorry to come in uninvited!)

I'm just recently out of a long relationship, ages 17-23. Though we were very happy most of the time, it wasn't meant to be and I am sure ending it was the right thing - for timing and many other reasons. I have no regrets.

For a big part of that time, though, I was telling myself that we couldnt go on to get married because no one marries the first person they were with and it would be daft! Glad to see that I was wrong and lots of happy marriages can come out of staying with the person you meet so early.

Kissed plenty of frogs before having one serious relationship. Then met hubby and that was that. Wasn't exactly love at first sight, dont believe in all that to be honest. Always thought id be blown away by 'the one', but it was a gradual thing. Been together 15 years, married for 10 of those. I am getting way to close to 40, hubby is already there

Not married but engaged.

I am 27, for me its 2 serious (4 months for one and 3 years for the other).

In many respects I think I needed my heart broken as its made me part of who I am today.

True you never really get over a broken heart. The impact lasts but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Three serious ones.

1st - I met the week I left school aged 16 together for 4.5 years, broke up when I was 21. I regret that relationship, there was so much I missed out on during my teenage years.

2nd - aged 22, together about 15 months, with a 6 week break in the middle. After we got back together, it wasn't the same the 'spark' had gone. He was younger and looking for different things from a relationship than I was.

3rd- This was the 'love of my life' so I thought, Together about 15 months, he was in the Navy seperated with a dd. he broke it off out of the blue and for a very long time I was devestated. Later I found out he'd been married with a baby son as well as his dd, and had met the woman who become his 2nd wife during his relationship with me!

After #3, I totally changed what I was looking for in a partner, and went on a night out with an old schoolfriend. Her older brother was there, I'd met him when I was 16 but hadn't seen him since. We started dating when I was 30 and married 2 years later. Our 12th wedding anniversary was last month.

Its complicated lol
First bf from 16 to 18 resulting in number one son.
Second bf at 19 but only for 5 months.
Third from 24 ish for 2.5 years resulting in daughter.
Fourth from 28 for 12 years.
All disasters in one way or another except 2nd one which was just short.
Then at age 40 bf number 2 got back in touch and I knew instantly
We got married in January this year when I was 42 and him 44 and are sickeningly happy.
I'm female by the way.

The bit I have made bold made me chuckle. Thought you might be female seeing as relationship with 1st bf resulted in a son and relationship with 3rd bf resulted in a daughter. Would have been a mean feet to pull off if you were a bloke
