GTKY: how long have you been with your partner?

meredithcarole · January 2015

We have been together over 9 years and married for about 4.5. I am older than MH, too @Nikolie93‌. I noticed there were a lot of October anniversaries, too

@Nikolie93‌ that. Is. Awesome. @meredithcarole‌ we had our first date in October

we wanted to get married in Oct. too, but then pushed things up (I always wanted a fall wedding, but oh well!)

We have known each other for 5 years, married for 2. I hope that when we get to the 11 year mark we are still as mushy as you! @ hooligans4

H and I have been together over 10 years and married for 4 in May. Man did we go through some rough patches!

He had a different idea on what his lifelong partner would be like and I was not it........he had to reconcile that a little. He is very logical, extremely intelligent, responsible.....the kind of person with a near perfect credit score and a college education and a corporate job. He is also very much a guys guy. Watches and plays sports. I was a young, broke, low income single mom. I was a stripper...left the business months before meeting him. I have ADD and awful credit....or no credit really now. Im a bit of a dreamer and my job....well it aint steady. Im not athletic but I love dance. I also suffered from Depression and that was hard for him (and his family) to understand.

At the 5 year mark he broke up with me. I moved out. He was never really gone though. He was always checking in on me. Would bring groceries sometimes. Bought us a christmas tree so we would have one (i was a poor single mom still) He would stop by every 2 weeks or so (no funny business) Eventually i started dating again cause even though he was coming by...we were not getting back together. I started to workout and get healthy again (i was already thin....just not healthy) I started to just enjoy my life more. I was having so much fun. At the year mark we were apart he came back and said he wanted me back. Wasn't happy without me. Had some major realizations about his expectations. Realized he couldn't change who i was but loved me and decided he could change his expectations. I almost didn't go back. He really convinced me....i decided 5 years was to hard to just thow away with him coming back with promised he had never made before and i had no reason to not believe him.....he wasn't a promise breaker.

Somehow we are still together.....lol. Pretty happy except when he opens his boneheaded mouth.
