Regarding the Poll

It is crazy how many of you ladies have been with your DH for more than five before you married him.  YesI thought I was the only one who dated my husband for a verrrrryyy long time.  HaHa.  People use to always give us a hard time about dating for as long as we did and not being married.  LOL Now I can say there are a ton of girls who date their man for a long time.Big Smile

Re: Regarding the Poll

  • I used to feel the same way. I thought DH would never propose.
  • We started dating when I was a sophomore and he was a senior in HS so we had to date a long time, lol, we were way too young to get married. I insisted on waiting til I graduated from college. Even now, people think we're super young to be married and own a home.

    He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

  • We have the same situation as Katie. We have been together since I was a sophomore and he a senior in HS. I refused to get married until after I graduated college. IMO, right out of HS, and during college isn't the best time to get married due to age, stability, etc. We got married 1 month after I graduated college. Even that only put us at 22 and 24, which is still young.

  • I also had the same feelings, that i was the only one. We dated for 9 years before getting married.

    Us too! High school sweet hearts  :) Although we decided to take a break to make sure what we wanted and it only lasted a year. 

    Now a days I see some girls wanting to get married after a few months of dating. I always believed in moving in first before getting married and we took our time.

  • Us too.  Dh and I met when I was only 19, and we were still in college.  We wanted to first graduate, and settle in to our first "real" job before taking the leap... besides, we didn't have any $$!

  • Yeah, DH and I have pretty much the same story except we officially started dating during my first year of college. We got married right out of college (well, I was right out of college and DH had finished Johnson and Wales the year before). I have zero regrets! He had a very stable job and I found one right away, where I've been working since.

  • Yeap, I was a senior and he was a freshmen in college :).  We probably would have gotten married sooner actually, but we weren't ready career-wise. We definitely got a lot of crap for waiting so long!
