    Met my boyfriend at work in 2007, he flirted like a school boy, throwing paper at me and just being silly. He made me laugh and had a crazy weird sense of humour like me. I had a crush, but he was in a super long relationship (nearly 20 years). In 2009, they split up and he came to see me and told me that "this is it, just you and me". We've been together for just over 3 years, living together for a little over 2 years. Can't imagine life with out him.

    I know a lot of people don't believe in love at first sight, but we'll just say I had never reacted to the mere sight of someone in quite the same way before or since.
    The first time he approached to talk to me, I was giddy, ditto the second. He knew he wanted to marry me within two weeks. I was the holdout - it took me a month (I was afraid I was just infatuated.) We were exclusive from the start, had a secret engagement after 5 months, just to see if it would stick, announced our engagement after six months and married 5 months after that. That was 30 years ago.

    WARNING- I AM VERY JADED!

    I kind of have a different philosophy on life, so please bare with me.

    With my First Husband I knew the day that I met him that I would marry him. It was not love at first sight . I can't explain the feeling other than a knowing. No matter how hard you avoid them you can't. A deep need to be around them (mutual of course) It was this person has been sent in to my life because I need to learn something from them. I was 16 he was 20. I married him when I was 19 and left him when I was 26. I learned that being a punching bag is not fun, how to manipulate someone who is manipulating you, patience, and bravery.

    I met my second husband when I was 28 he was 19. Again I knew the moment he spoke to me that he would be a part of my life. We were married in '09. We divorced January 2012. We are Catholic and technicaly we are still married in the Church. We share four amazingly beautiful children. I learned from him to
    NEVER trust anyone ever again especially with your CHILDREN!

    I met my husband to be when I was 16 and he was 28. We were friends until I was 19. We dated for 2 months before he asked me to marry him (I thought he was joking and laughed; he didn't think it was funny). We were married 1 year and 2 days after our first date. We've been married almost 11 years now


    Wow, that's a big age difference! Glad you're happy!

    I've been married 10 years and I'm still not sure he's the one!!! Not that I want to get married again, but the real love of my life was before him, and my husband was a rebound relationship, I think. Still, I love him and we get along good, but I always wonder if I did the right thing. Hmmm... I know he knows how I felt about my ex.Still, my husband is my rock and I wouldn't ever want to hurt him .

    I love all you're all like: I totally met THE ONE and he screwed me over.
    And then I met the OTHER ONE and he screwed me over too.

    I was out of one relationship and with my husband three weeks later. (Prior one was only three months long anyways so quick recovery!). We hit it right off... I was friends with him for a month... dated for a few months... engaged... married probably a year into the relationship and have been together since. Going strong still on almost 4 years. No kids yet. Wanting to graduate first before we consider that.

    My husband & I met through eHarmony back in 2004 & had our first date on 06/27/04. He was there for me when I lost my mother to Cancer in August 2005. He moved in with me in October 2005, got engaged June 24, 2007 & married on 06/28/08. We seperated in February of 2010, but we are getting back together now. We've both been in relationships while apart, & just recently realized how much we are still love with each other & both agree to work harder to correct the issues that made us part ways 2 years ago.

    The day after I met her, I told her that I had a question for her but it probably wasn't a good time yet... She asked me, "What month were you thinking?" I said June it was October and she asked if that was going to be soon enough... Got married 6/7/2008...

    oh, that is so cute!!!

    Started Dating 16 years ago. I knew he was hubby material after a few months. We got married 2.5 years later. It will be 14 years married in March :) We are still together BUT the hands of time have rocked the foundation several times. Marriage is a partnership and one that both people have to be engaged in at all times in order to make it past those quakes stronger.

    Been with my husband since 1996, and we were married in 2008. We met and started dating when we were 16. We both knew at 16 we would stay together.

    I was with my ex partner for 6 years and I knew pretty much straight away we would be together for a while if not forever :) Just that connection of not wanting to leave each others side is what we had.

    I was in another relationship recently which was for a while... that started all guns blazing.. and then it was kinda going nowhere there wasn't that chemistry or connection and we kinda ended up sitting around with nothing to say to each other haha so he broke it off with me.. which still hurts because I've never been dumped before so my ego has taken a hit... being dumped is pretty embarrassing actually but I'm doing my best to move on from it.

    Not quite ready to date again yet, but will probably soon.

    I met my husband in highschool when I was 14, he was 17. We started dating when I was 15 and he was 18. We had our first child when I was 17 and he was 20. Got married when I was 19 and he was 22. We have had 2 more children. We are now 32 and 35 and still married. I knew the first time I saw him in the hallway at school that we were going to be together.

    I met my husband when we were both 6 years old. We were taking karate classes together. We went to school all the way through high school together and dated other people. It wasn't until I was 23 and he was 22 that we started dating. He'd just left for Basic and we wrote letters, talked and grew very close during that time. We started dating in July 2011, were engaged by December 2011, and married in February 2012.

    Here we go...

    I met my husband online when I was a senior in highschool -1998. He graduated 2 years previously from a different school. He was very persistant! We talked a lot before actually seeing one another. We finally met and he told me he was short (I am 6'0" and I was thinking like 5'10"...no he's 5'6"). It took him several years to get over the height difference. We moved in together after 4 months and we broke up a few months later. I told him that we were going to get married and he had made a mistake. Sure enough he came back to me after 3 weeks crying and begging for me to take him back. I did of course. We had our first son in Sept 2001 and got married in Sept 2002, had our second son in March 2004 and our third in June 2008. We are still happy. But our very different religious preferences make it hard and his father was an alcoholic (his addiction killed him nearly three years ago) and my husband has alcoholic tendencies and I (at times) question where we will be in the future. I truly do love him with all my heart but I think that sometimes that is not enough. He needs to make some changes and I hope with all my heart he does.

    Time will tell...

    Apparently my husband knew the first night we met when I was in college. He asked me what I was doing for the rest of my life and I thought he was joking. Here we are 13 years later and still going strong. <3:love:

    Ten years ago we met and started dating & we have broken up for a couple months 2 or 3 years in a row..he doesn't want to get married ever to anyone. I love him madly but I want kids and pets and marriage and he wants none of that so you see it is never easy in the game of love.

    I met my boyfriend my junior year of high school (his senior year of high school). Not log after that I started going through a rough patch with my dad moving home again and having to quite sports due to knee injury. that's when I knew he was was more than just a guy to date because of how he stuck around and comforted me. 7 years later, we are almost settled in our first apartment. I await patiently for the proposal due to wanting it to be official that I'm his.

    My husband saw my walk into my new job and told his friend that he was going to marry me. Met when I was 19 and felt like we had always been together. We were engaged within 2 months and have been married just over 24 years now.

    It took my husband a while, but I knew pretty quick! Back then I had dropped a hundred pounds the year before so I had great confidence and was loving to have fun. I met my husband at McDs where we both worked. I knew him but it wasn't until one afternoon while I was working and he was off work, he had gotten his hair cut and come in to check his schedule and I glanced at him and literally did a double take to stare at this gorgeous man. I was still in highschool and he was in college.

    I think that timing is really important, not so much how long you have known each other or been together. For example, I had a rough childhood and grew up quickly, not so interested in playing around much... so I had no issue imagining being with him forever.

    When I finally got his number we talked on the phone a couple times and he took me out on a date bowling. I beat him. :)
    He broke up with me via email that sunday (low!!) and we didn't talk for a while. My best friend started working at McD's and he became smitten with her right away. Although I didn't see it then, I see now that she completely led him on. We would all three spend time together and he and I became good friends, he would come over and hang out with my family. Eventually my best friend broke his heart, and I patiently picked up the pieces until he saw me where I always was.. simply being there.

    We began to date around a year after we met, and it progressed quickly. He proposed 6 months later, then we found out a few months after that we were expecting a baby. So we got married and had our wonderful little family and life was good.

    Fast forward a few years later and marital bliss has begun to wear off and realities of life set in. One affair, several drunken nights, and even more nights of not coming home later I filed for divorce and I thought my marriage was over.

    Fortunately my Dad and his wife were smart and told me to attend church while I was living with them again, so I did. My husband and I began to go to counseling (and not in the usual sense but literally being preached to for an hour) which ended up saving our marriage. We did that for a year, but didn't move back in together for another 6 months. It didn't take long for baby number 2 to follow.

    Now we are coming up on 5 years married, 1 year dated, and 1 year friends. I love our story and I love my husband. Sorry that was so long but rock on if you read the whole thing.

    Knew him for about 18 months before our first date in January. Knew I'd marry him by April. He proposed two years later. Engaged for a year (I wanted counseling - everyone in my family is divorced). Been married for 18 years.
