Have you been with your spouse or partner for a long, long time? Maybe you were high school sweethearts? Or perhaps that marriage didn’t turn out so well, or your spouse died, and you met someone else later.
We know that for many RVers, their current spouse or partner was someone they met only in recent times, perhaps after the loss of a long-time partner, even after many years of being alone, perhaps not ever expecting to fall in love again.
Many RVers are surprised to come across older couples in campgrounds and assume they’ve been together a long time, raised a family, all that. And then they start talking and hear “Oh, we met two years ago on Match.com.” It is not uncommon.
For today, we’re just curious how old you were when you met your current partner? Only answer if you are in a relationship, okay?
We first had to get our “practice marriages” out of the way. Been married 36 years now.
I met my Sweetheart when I was 18 married her the day before my 20th birthday, 61 years ago on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. 2 children, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. They said it would never last.
17 in Oct of 1967, senior in HS putting my books away after last class. Donna, who was 16, sees me, pushes me out of the way and starts pawing thru my locker. Much later she told me that she wanted to meet me. We married 27-months later in March 1970. She’s my life.
I first met my wife in ninth grade, we started dating our senior year, was engaged at 17, married at18, and had our first child at19. We’ve been married for 51+ years.
Re-met at 20, married at 21, and have remained together for almost 46 years so far.
I was 31 years of age and we married 16 months later, which was 34 years ago last month.
We are 1% res, as we met in our 70’s after both our spouses passed away, our only regret is we didn’t meet sooner. Lol
20. Today is our 50th wedding anniversary, and yes, we went tent camping far from home, all the way into the Rockies, on our honeymoon.
Happy 50th Anniversary, Diane and spouse!🍾 We wish you many more happy and healthy anniversaries to come. Have a great day! 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Met in the winter of our fresh(wo)men year of college. Married 2 years after graduation. 44 years and counting.
Took me a while to find the right gal. She’s a keeper! It’s been 19 years of her aggravation but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
We met in 6th grade. Got married 10 yrs later. Still married. Both 80 yrs young.
Congratulations, we started much later but we are octogenarians also, been married 7 years last June.
My husband and I were born in the same hospital a day apart and were in the hospital nursery together. So, I guess we were 1 day old when we met!🤣 Been married 46 years this weekend. ❤️
How cool is that…we meet as babies as well….very happy life together…
We were both 12 now 76.
Better question, how old was spouse?
Met on the day before I went overseas. Got married three years later. Married for 48 years. Of course, there’s more to the story.
Met and married in our teens, and have been go’in at it like rabbits ever since!
We’re both in our 60’s now.
I don’t think I would’ve posted that, ever watched rabbits go at it, about 15 seconds and they’re through. Lol
Love it 🐇❤️
