dreamer- One could have guessed that you are a trained psychologogist just by watching you post. Almost no one takes any interest in what anyone else is really saying (not the details, at least). You really listen to other people''s stories. It''s almost fightening ;-). It was a planned meeting.

Hugs,
Deb/AGBF

We''ve been together just shy of three years, and will be married in 3 months! He''s officially my longest relationship. It''s silly, but I always get jealous of people who met their SOs earlier because I feel like I missed out on a lot of his life. But in our case, it probably wouldn''t have worked because we met when I was 25 and he was 35, and if I had met him any earlier, the age difference would have seemed like a bigger deal I suppose.
 
DH and I have been together for 19 years and just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on Monday.

! You are a tease with the scanty details AGBF... how did you even meet him in the first place to plan the meeting-up? Feel free to remain vague, of course it is none of my business anyways.

Your story reminds me of modern day internet dating, where you meet online and then meet up in person some time later. That is how my husabnd and I met, actually, on an online dating site. But of course those did not exist in 1977.

I can relate, but I also know DH and I would not have worked if we had met that much earlier! When we met we were both a couple years out of some long-term common law relationships and had each undergone a lot of individual counseling following those relationships ending and some pretty big personal transformations and were quite different than we had been many years before (a lot more self-aware, understanding, compassionate, communicative, laid back and overall excited by life!).

We were 29 and 34 when we met. We have both talked about how if we had met a few years earlier, I would of been still quite insecure, a bit needy, a pretty poor communicator, and hugely unable to accept responsibility for my own feelings, and he would of been ego-driven, trying too hard to conform to what he believed a "man" should be, also a pretty poor communicator, and a bit of a jerk to boot....

. We both would of had a pretty poor understanding of the makings of a healthy relationship overall as we just would not have been healthy people! We were still trying to play the game and tick the boxes we thought made up life. He likely would not have gone for a redhead back then either (it was only after his life transformation stages he recognized he needed to broaden his horizons a bit past his usual type...ha!).

I feel blessed instead that we met when we DID.
 
DH and I have been together sixteen years, and married almost three.
 
We''ve been together for 3.5 years, married for 3. We didn''t waste any time, we knew it was the real deal. We''re very happy.
 
We have been married 23years(in April), together 28years(met in college)...
 
This year will be our 21st anniversary!
 
AGBF/Deb -- I was wondering the same thing about meeting your husband in France. That sounds romantic!

Allison/Alj -- Thank you so much for giving me your thoughts. I didn''t mean to make myself sound like the Grinch or anything, and I hope I didn''t give the impression that things aren''t great. They are, I just like to be a tad more in control of things than I probably need to be. I''ll definitely keep your advice in mind. THANK YOU again!
 
We've been together for 4 years and 2 days, married for 2 days under 4 months.

I think he's pretty cool.

ETA: When my parents had their 27th wedding anniversary my dad gave my mom her first diamond ring (her response was, "Is that real?!" hahahaha). They went to church later that morning and somehow my mom's friend found out it was their anniversary, and came up to them after the service, and told my dad that my mom deserved a medal of honor for putting up with him for so long. My mom stuck out her hand and wiggled her fingers saying, "I got one!"

We''ve been together for almost 14 years and have been married for a little over 9. Prior to him, my longest relationship was about 2 years.

My and FI have been together 3 years (we met in late April). Getting married in September. He has been my longest relationship.
 
We''ve been together for 7, married for 4 years. We''ve had a bit of a struggle more recently and almost called it quits, but things are looking up after a bit of counselling and some work on both of our parts.
 
My husband and I have known each other since childhood (7 & 8). He has been married once before for 4 years. We are celebrating our 13 year anniversary this month!! It has been a really good ride.
 
This June my husband and I will have been together for nine years, married for two of them, couldn''t be happier!

No, there was no Internet in 1977! One could not yet even put a telephone up against the wall to which it was tethered and get a dial up connection for a non-Windows line in 1977. At least I am pretty sure of

that. Maybe one could do that from inside a computer lab in 1977, but not from inside a house! I remember that my husband had on his résumé that he knew Fortran and Cobol. But I digress. I met him, "in the

first place" because he put an advertisement in, "The New York Review of Books". He was Italian (although I did not know that) and had been a Fulbright scholar in the United States and, under its terms, he had

had to return to Europe to spread good will about the United States. So he was obliged to spend at least two years in Europe and he was stuck in a tuna packing plant (for reasons into which I will not, now, drag all

of you) in Sardinia (Sardegna), an island off the Italian coast. It was hard for him to meet educated women where he was, so he placed the ad...and one thing led to another.

Really?! That''s awesome! Do you mind me asking how your relationship began?
 
Married 7 years.
 
I have been married since december, but my DH and i have been together since early 2004 - so about 6 years.
 
DH and I have been together for 7 years and married for 8 months. My longest relationship prior to him was about 2 years.
 
DH and I will be married 10 years this December.
 
FI and I have been together for just over 9 years. Before that, I did not have any relationships longer than about 6 months.
 
Longest relationship was w/ my ex husband. We were together for 6 1/2 years. Married for 3 1/2.
 
I am married to my longest relationship ever. I''ve spent 6 yrs as his GF, one year as his FI, and we''ve been married for 3 months so far.

I never have a long relationships before DH because I got bore so fast. DH never bores me because he always let me do whatever I want to do (well, not always but I always comes first). I just adore my husband.

I have been with DH for 17 years...only married for 2 of them.....yes, we dated for 15 years. If I am not the "longest dater" I''m sure that I am in the top 3.

Why, oh why, if I was in the top 3 of anything couldn''t I be in the top 3 PSers that own the largest diamonds...LOL!
