How long have you been with your SO/spouse?

[Shell Beau]

My 4th wedding anniversary is coming up Feb. 2. We've been together since 1993! :o

[MissMillie]

1. I've been without companionship for more than 6 years

:(

[Shell Beau]

2. Well that is okay too! Sometimes we are better off

by ourselves for a while! :hug:

[raptor_rider]

11. That is how it was for me

with my daughter. Split from her dad when she was 4 months old. I too was by myself for just over 6-1/2 and then I met my husband. We have been together a little over 2 years and married almost 1-1/2 years. Guess we didn't waste anytime. :blush:

[Strong Atheist]

30. Sorry, if that is not what you want

(as your smiley suggests). Don't give up, keep looking!

[MissMillie]

34. At my age

all that is left are those that have already been married once, and now have the "never again" attitude.

[Strong Atheist]

54. Well, I don't know about that.

My Mom (a widower - 65) in Sept. remarried another widower (71), so people are out there, if you push it.

[MissMillie]

83. Older widows and widowers don't have that "never again" attitude

But people my age do.

[Strong Atheist]

86. So you are younger than that. Good, that makes

it even easier to find someone ...

[kick-ass-bob]

48. Actually, I would suggest to not look.

Be content with yourself, and then the right person would just be attracted to you.

:thumbsup:

[kick-ass-bob]

3. We met in college

1991.

And married in college: 1993.

:o:o

[Shell Beau]

6. You were getting married when I started dating my hubby!

I was 15 when you got married! :o



:7

[kick-ass-bob]

8. I was only 20.

:o :o :o :o

[Shell Beau]

14. So, you are 32-ish?

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

[kick-ass-bob]

20. yeah?

why so many :o 's?

Do I not look that old?

:)

[Shell Beau]

22. I was just playing around b/c we both

kept doing this :o!

You don't look old at all! But then again, 32 is young. :)

[kick-ass-bob]

27. I'm getting a shit load of gray hair already

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

but it's not so noticable since I have blonde hair.

[Shell Beau]

33. I have seen a couple in my head!

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o


My brother will turn 30 next week and he is already balding A LOT!! Good thing I was born with lots and lots and lots of hair!

[kick-ass-bob]

44. I'm not balding - I probably won't.

My grandfather had a head full of hair.

:thumbsup:

[Shell Beau]

50. My dad has a head full. I take after him. My

brother takes after my mom's side, and they are a little thin on their heads! Wait, you know what I mean. Their heads on their shoulders!!! :o

[kick-ass-bob]

60. men should look at their maternal g'ndfather for their hair loss potential

I don't know why, but that seems to always work.

[China_cat]

95. Male pattern baldness is genetic through the mother's

side of the family. Which my sons never let me forget.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. 9 1/2 years married. together for 14...met him 23 years ago. He sat behind

me in 7th grade. My stomach still goes all weird when he walks in the room. :hi:

[kick-ass-bob]

7. y'all move slow.

:D

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Just a bit...If I'm gonna make something forever...I've got to think

about it, and then rotate it and think about it again...that and we really enjoyed driving all the "So when are you two going to get married" people insane. :hi:

[Shell Beau]

10. Awww! My husband sat behind me in 10th grade in American

Government!


That is so sweet!! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. He remembers the day I first transferred in...He thought my turquoise

cords made my butt look big. :eyes: Love...

...a few months later I gave him the rest of my pizza during a classroom pizza party. :hi:

[Shell Beau]

29. I transferred too! And my husband was after me right away!

My husband says he remembers that I said "I am very forgiving" and trust me, he has tested that damn saying plenty of times!! ;)

[mwdem]

We always short change our anniversary. After the holidays and our youngest child's birthday on Dec. 30, we are just exhausted by the time our anniversary roles around.

[Strong Atheist]

[Strong Atheist]

56. Well, we disagree a lot. Neither one of us is

sure marriage would work... we will see...

[Mutley]

17. Eight years on June 22.

We'll also be getting married on June 22nd. :D My parents offered to either pay for the wedding or the honeymoon, so I said to hell with the wedding, we're going to Ireland! Courthouse, here I come! :bounce:

[Shell Beau]

26. Awww, good choice!

:bounce: Congrats!!
