How long have you been married/together with your current partner?

[jeaniefish]

Good Morning All,
As we sit here having our coffee and discussing the latest crazy happenings in the world, I feel so blessed to share this time with a spouse who looks at life the same way I do, has the same values, morals, beliefs,etc, that I do. I cant imagine how challenging it must be to being “isolated” with someone who doesn‘t !

Missy, your poem was beautiful and such a priceless gift to your DH.

Queenie60 and Junebug17: Thank you for your sweet comments.Much appreciated!

Love all these sweet replies y’all! My hubby and I have been together for 4 years and will celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary this June. I never envisioned myself getting married and was a happily single professional into my early 30s.

Long story short, we lived in the same apartment complex on the same floor and had seen each other around the building and downtown. I happened to be casually dating another guy who had flowers delivered on “Sweetest Day” (i.e. a midwestern Valentine’s Day in October ... how bizarre). In a twist of fate, the flowers were accidentally delivered to my now husband’s apartment. I had to track them down and ended up knocking on his door! We exchanged awkward conversation and I left after retrieving the bouquet. He subsequently messaged me on LinkedIn asking to take me out if things “weren’t serious” with my current beau lol. I waited to respond, stopped seeing my casual acquaintance and 6 weeks later we went on our first date. We were inseparable afterwards.The rest is history!

We met at work in 1993 but had to keep our relationship a secret from our coworkers (work policy forbade it). Breaking the rules turned out to be worth it: will celebrate 26 years of marriage this August! We both now admit from date #1 we just KNEW.

Married for 43 years the 21st of this month - knew each other for about a year before the wedding but in that year, we were engaged and planning the wedding. Guess we got it right!

i got it wrong - somehow its over 20 years and somehow neither of us has killed the other during lock down stress

Together for going on four years, including a two-month road trip together and several month-long vacations. I spent the first four weeks of our shelter-in-place time with him.

Sweetie came along after I’d lost three of the most important people in my life - my mother, my closest brother, and my best friend - In pretty quick succession, and was there for me when I was responsible for my dad’s care. I’m not sure where I’d be now if it weren’t for him!
