[midgetonadonkey]

I'm 27 and my girlfriend is 24. We have been together for 6 years.

How old were you when you got married or been together?

We met when I was 21 and she was 18.

How is the relationship?

It's great. We have our tough times but we are strong enough to get through them.

Any kids?

No kids just two dogs.

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

I like her a lot. She is hilarious.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

Of course. What relationship doesn't have obstacles.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

Her family is amazing. From day one I was accepted into their home with open arms and I am now closer to them than I am with my own family.

first marriage

Give your age too.
43.

How old were you when you got married or been together?
I was 31 she was 30. We had been together for almost two years when we tied the knot. Eight of those months were spent engaged..

How is the relationship?
Divorced for 6 years.

Any kids?
None of our own but she had a son who was 8 when we were married. We got along great!

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?
Oh sure. You have to let things go. Glad she was in my life.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?
We had many, many ups and downs. Ultimately we couldn’t work out the downs. The experience matured me – I hope!

Do you get along with the in-laws?
I didn’t have a problem with them. But then again, we didn’t spend much time with them either!

Current relationship

Give your age too.
(She’s 39. I'm still the same age)

How old were you when you got married or been together?
We’ve been dating almost 1 ½ years. She asked ME out. '

How is the relationship?
It seems like it’s coming to an end, unfortunately. But it’s been the first serious “possibly marriage” relationship I’ve had since I was divorced. Everything else had just been dating or shagging.

Any kids?
I’m still hoping to have kids one of these days. I’ll be an older dad like Jack Nicholson I guess. Kind of runs in my family.

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?
Yes. We had an instant “at ease” connection. No BS.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?
Not until the last couple of months.

Do you get along with the in-laws?
I don’t have a problem with her family. But then again, we don’t spend much time with them either!

[implacable44]

I'm 33 and my wife is 24. We have been together for 5 years.

How old were you when you got married or been together?

We met when I was 28 and she was 19.

How is the relationship?

It's a challenge - the age difference factors into things but more than that the PPD is a huge obstacel. We have 18 month old twin daughters and she suffered serious trauma - emotional and mental with them- PPD later to post traumatic psychosis. slowly getting better but it was a nightmare and still can be at times.

Any kids?

3 daughters - why can't I have a son ? what the heck is that about ? anyway - a 3 yr old and 18 month old twins.


Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

I like her a lot. She is compassionate and wonderful - when she is on her meds.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

aforementioned - some slight rage issues and biggest of all - family.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

her family is terrible - brother is a felon with a gun crime on his record, father beat her until the age of 12 when she ran away to be with her mother who mentally manipulates her to this day ( mom has been divorced 4 times going on 5) she has two half-sisters that are both into drugs and promiscuous behavior. I have to put up with all of them all the time - NIGHTMARE~

having said all that -I wouldnt trade her for the world - love her / like her through the good and the bad.

[tlongII]

What a horrible thread!

[Ballcox]

How old were you when you got married or been together?
Got together when I was 28 and she was 26, dated for about two years and then married when I was 30 and she was 28. Have been married for six years this summer, but together for going on 8 years now.



How is the relationship?
Overall the relationship is great, my wife has really helped me to become a better overall person. I think I'm more honest, responsible, self-less, and humble than when we first met. On her end, I think all I've done is help her to become a more knowledgeable and intense sports fans, particularly of the Spurs and Horns!


Any kids?
She had a 4 year old daughter when we got together who is about to turn 13 later this year (God help me during the teenage years). I adopted her due to the father being a no-show from day one, I consider her to be my oldest kid. We also have boy-girl twins who just turned 3. Trust me, you haven't really challenged yourself as a parent until you've had two (or more) at once. You also haven't really challenged the foundation of your marriage until kids have entered into the equation (imo).



Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?
Yeah, I like her more now than when we first met. We seem to really compliment each other very well. I'm glad I didn't marry some of the women I dated who I thought I had a lot in common with, would have gotten boring and predictable in a hurry. With my wife, we come from such different backgrounds and have such different personalities that there is always a spark there, someone who challenges you to consider situations from a different perspective, it's really helped our marriage grow/mature.



Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?
Obstacles, road blocks, storms, whatever the you want to call it there have been plenty of them. However, we've learned along the way to communicate more effectively with each other and even more importantly (I think) how to listen to each other, really listen in an objective manner-that's helped a BUNCH. The other part I always try and remind myself of is that I made a vow in our marriage to respect and honor my wife, I try to keep that in my thoughts every day.



Do you get along with the in-laws?
Well enough, I wouldn't say were best buds, but we enjoy spending time together here and there. Now, my wife and my mom....DAMN! That was some explosive for a while there. Felt like I was playing the referee between those two for a couple of years! But, they get along great today (mostly because they've come to the realization that they're very much alike) and that's nice to see.



These questions I've thought on my own, any other questions you think of post.

[lilmads]

Great to see so many happy couples

[Old School Chic]

[DieMrBond]

Both my wife and I are 25.

How old were you when you got married or been together?

We met in School (around 14 years old), got together (finally) at 21, got married when we were both 23, and just had our 2 year wedding anniversary!

How is the relationship?

Awesome. Still fun, still laugh at each other, and exciting things happen all the time!

Any kids?

Yeah, 2. Tahlia, (girl) aged 19 months. Ajay, (boy) aged 4 months.

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

Still love.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

Definitly! Inteferring 'friends'. Want us to get together, when we do get together, don't want us together. Go figure!

Do you get along with the in-laws?

Her dad, i wish was dead, and hope he is. Never met him, hope (for his sake) i never do. His mum is pretty cool (if a little odd!) but we see a lot of her. Her brother is a drop kick, and should be in jail. The rest of her family that i've met are crazy. Not a fan!

[Carie]

First marriage for both

John's 34, I just turned 33

How old were you when you got married or been together?

We met when we were 21/20. Moved in together about 4 weeks after we started dating It's not so bad really, I had to get out of the dorms and stayed with him temporarily until I could find a place of my own . It's been almost 13 years now. Oops.

We were married 2 years after we started dating/living in sin (thanks granma). That was 10 1/2 years ago. Around Christmas 1995.

How is the relationship?

Amazing and getting better all of the time. Not to say that we don't drive each other crazy sometimes, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean it when he tells me he has picked the location where he will bury my body

Any kids?

Do cats count? No? Summers suggested that I get a t-shirt to wear in front of my mother-in-law that says We're working on it!

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

We're best friends. We can have as much fun together laying on the couch watching The Sopranos as we do on vacation. For one of our trips he wanted to drive to Florida instead of fly so that we could spend the time talking.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

WAY too ing many. Mostly health, mostly mine. (Implacable we can definitely relate. Not PPD or PPS, but bi-polar. I'm so sorry you guys are having to deal with that. It is so hard on a relationship. You must be a very strong person and love her very much). I can honestly say I wouldn't be here without him. He's been so good to me through all this he's pretty much earned the le Saint with me and my mom.

Plus the typical neat-freak/clutter-collector type of problems.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

Yes, they are wonderful people. They didn't know what we were going through for so long (his decision), so we enjoyed each other but weren't really close. But now that they do and I can be open and honest with her we are really getting to know each other. Also, it's helped that after 10 years I'm finally starting to feel like it's okay that I'm not the type of daughter-in-law I'm sure she envisioned for her son. To say that they're conservative and I'm not is an understatement. But I think she finally realizes that he's truly happy and that his happiness is a top priority for me too. Just because I am not June Cleaver doesn't mean he's not happy.

[CAGE]

How old were you when you got married or been together?

I was 20 and he was 23

How is the relationship?

Awesome!

Any kids?

None, but we are working on it!

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

I love my husband with all my heart... He's my best friend.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

Of course. What couple doesn't have any but my hubby and I have gone through so much together that nothing phases us anymore...we both know we can overcome anything good or bad that comes our way with Gods help.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

I have to admit that at first my In-laws gave me a very hard time about me dating my hubby but as the years have passed I have proven to them that I am the one.
Now, they can't stop bragging about what a wonderful daughter in law they have.

My husband and I dated 7 years before he we decided it was time to be Mr. & Mrs. on the 30th of this month is our 6th wedding anniversary.
We have gone through so much together but we learned that the 3 main factors to stay strong in a marriage or in any relationship are: Love, Trust, & Communication...

I'm very happy and very much in love with my wife as the first day I met her
and on May 30th of this month is our 7th Wedding Anniversary not six ^^^

I already have something real special planned for us

[ObiwanGinobili]

Awesome! Cage & OSC got married the same year as me!!
Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!

[kobe_bryant]

next question

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

im happily married

next question

Last weekend, I met this girl named Kate from Denver...you don't know how much I had to catch myself from calling her Faber.

[kobe_bryant]

kate? kate who?

i dont know whom you speak of

[SpursWoman]

My current significant other....hmmmm.....

Give your age too.

I'm still 34, and still turning 35 in December

How old were you when you got married or been together?

I was almost 33, he'd just turned 26 ... it's been 1 year, 5 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days since our first date.

How is the relationship?

Very good.

Any kids?

I still have a daughter who is almost 11 ... and a 9 year old son, none together.

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

Very much.

Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

Mostly my dysfunctional family issues, some pretty significant. He's been incredibly patient and non-judgemental.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

I've only met them once ... they seem very nice.

As for him, my mom got to meet him before she died and she adored him...the rest of my family loves him, too...but like I said, they are dysfunctional.

[2Blonde]

How long have you've been married or with your significant other ?

We have been together for 9 years and 2 months and have been married for 8 years and 8 months.
We got married 5 1/2 months after we met. It was 6 weeks after my divorce was final. ( We actually met the night after I filed my divorce papers. I was out celebrating and a friend introduced us and played matchmaker)


Give your age too.

I'm 44 and he's almost 46

How old were you when you got married or been together?

I was 35 and he was 37

How is the relationship?

It gets better every year. We have grown so much stronger as a couple.



Any kids?

Yes, a 14 year old daughter from my first marriage. But she has been raised in this marriage since she was 5 so it's all she knows. I tried for years to keep a relationship with her real father going but he killed that himself by showing his bad temper and now she won't have anything to do with him.

Do you like her/he still, not love, but like?

Oh yes. He cracks me up on a daily basis. He is smart and funny and patient with me. We have so much fun together and really enjoy each other's company. We also each have our own interests and give each other the time and space to pursue them. I think that helps us respect and trust each other. He is a real "life of the party" type of guy and I'm more of a watcher and an "OMG did he really just say that?" type girl, so we complement each other. And...The sex is still amazing after 9 years together.


Has there been any obstacles you had to work through?

Of course. The first 2 years of marriage were the hardest to adjust to. Then after that it got easier. We don't fight very much but when we do we try to not to say things that are disrespectful or hateful. I think our faith in God has helped bring us a lot closer through the years. We are both happy and content with what we have built together.

Do you get along with the in-laws?

He loves my Mom and has called her "Mom" since the first time he met her. He adored my Pop too. He took it really hard when he died last year.

I don't have a mother-in-law. His Mom was murdered by an burglar when he was 19. He was away in the army. I just met his father a couple of years ago. He hadn't seen him since he was 5. He lives in Kerrville. We see him a few times a year now. He's a pretty nice man.

I also didn't have in-laws with my first husband. They died before I married him. One of bridesmaids told me I was so lucky. So I have never had to deal with crazy interfering mother-in-laws.

[Old School Chic]

Awesome! Cage & OSC got married the same year as me!!
Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!

Really?

We got married May 30th 1999

The year the Spurs won their 1st Championship. In fact on some of our wedding pics you can see signs in the background that say Go Spurs Go, and no they were not part of my decorations. The hall already had them up.
My husband woke me up this morning and said "Hey you posted on the forum that we have only been married 6 years and It's actually 7"
Oh well, old age is finally kicking in. I don't even remember how old I am anymore


Obi,
Congrats to you & your Hubby on your Wedding Anniversary and may God bless you many more years together

*knocks on wood*

[T-Pain]

[makedamnsure]

Cute thread.

I love how I'm young enough to be everyone's daughter though. lol

[2Blonde]

I love how I'm young enough to be everyone's daughter though. lol

75% of the people on this message board are young enough to be my children.

[Mrs.Tlong]

Been together almost 2 years.

Great so far, no kids tho. He's just not mature enough for that kind of responsibility.

In-laws? Tlong says they've bene too busy to visit.
