How long have LIW''s been with significant other?

[MermaidKelly]

Just wondering, how long have you and your SO been dating? If you live together, mention that too!

I have been with my guy a year and 5 months

 

[princesss]

Four and a half years.

 

[musey]

Can non-LIWs play, too? If it's not just a get-to-know-you thread and more a survey-style thing?

We dated for 2 years, 4 months before moving in together (looking back, I can't believe it wasn't longer)... another 9 months before engagement (at just over 3 years). We've been together for 5.5 years now.

We dated (well, with some rocky periods) for 8 years to the day before he proposed.

 

[MrsHToBe]

We''ve been dating just over 8½ years, have lived together off-and-on for 7½, but permanently since ''05, and have an almost 5-year-old DD.

 

[merrymunky]

Not an LIW but I''ll play:

I have been with my FI for 7 years and 5 months. We moved in together after just 6 months, got engaged after 2 years together and will finally be tying the knot in just 18 days time.

 

[PrincessLily2009]

We''ve been together just about three years-the end of September will be our third anniversary. We''ve talked about moving in together, but I''m still undecided about moving in with him without a ring.

[*Danielle*]

Been together almost 3 years (8/18!). Lived together for about 2 1/2. Engagement pending.

 

[stepcutgirl]

Dating for a little over 4 years. Seriously dating for about 3 and a half. Living together for three and a half.

It is hard to pin point exactly when we formally moved in together because it was a slow progression. We both own our own houses and it just seemed that with in weeks to maybe months after we started dating we were just always at his house (I had a very portable dog-him...not so much). I didn''t rent my house out until last year but I don''t think I had slept at it a single night for over 3 or so years.

 

[heather318]

Dated for 2 years and 8 months before we got engaged.. Engaged for 2 years (we wanted to wait to get married until we finished college).. And finally got married in June of this year after having been together for 4 years and 7 months!

We started dating 2 months into college and have been together ever since..

 

[LilyKat]

Umm... five months.

I was "efficient" about calling myself a LIW

Although we have discussed marriage seriously and he has voluntary given me a timeline, so I'm not as crazy as I sound.

I''ve known SO since I was 11. We always moved in the same social circles but we were always dating other people. We officially started dating at the beginning of 2007. I think we both felt like it was about time!

We don''t live together.
