Did anyone marry their first BF/gf?

How often does this happen?

[Anonymous]

Yep, I did. Met in middle school. I was 13, he was 15. 23 years and 4 kids later, here we are!

NOTE: We did break up for a year when I was 18. I wanted to experience single life.

Sort of. Dated one other person, but not seriously, so can't say he was my BF. I was 30. Yep, 30, when I started dating DH.

[Anonymous]

Yes. She was my first real relationship and I was her first bf.

It didn't work out.

[Anonymous]

My parents, married when she was 16, he 19, 55 years now.

Yes. Still going strong 28 years later.

DH was my first and only serious relationship. I was 29 when we met. I dated/slept with a few other guys but nothing committed.

My husband did! Met 30 years ago, monogamous dating for 8 years while we did college and grad school, married at 24, kids at 35. Still going very strong!

Similar story here. Dated for 4 in college, married at 25, kids at 32. I cannot imagine being with someone else.

Yes. Still married.

Married my first crush does that count? We never went out in HS but I had a huge crush on him (he had no idea). Met again after about 13 years (both dated seriously but never lived with anyone). And clicked and got married. I love how we knew each other as awkward teenagers and can see how far we have come.

I met DH my freshman year of college when I was 18. I had never had a boyfriend before, and while he said he'd been on a few dates, he had never had a girlfriend before. That was 29 years ago.

I do think that a lot of people marry their first sweethearts, especially if they met in college.

I see that a lot in the NY Times wedding section. They met in college and then marry late 20s. My parents married at 21 and were married 55 years until my father died.

Sort of. He was my first kiss and boyfriend when we were 12. Then we broke up and reconnected 13 years later. Kind of cool to marry my first kiss
