In before the poll.

Married the first time at 24. She couldn't handle my jobs, so we split when I was 34.

Met The One at 35, she had a cancer they didn't know enough about to treat. Lost her when I was 45.

Married this one at 55. So far, so good.

15 and 34.

Here's a secret: There's more than just one person out there for you, and in my experience, they get better as you get older and more weathered. Hang in there, OP.

I'm 55. Still haven't met, "the one". As I grow older, I realize the chances of finding, "the one" diminish.

I was 17 and she was 16 in Feb 1985 when we met had our first date. Been together ever since. I'll be 50 next month and its hard to believe that we're that old, ha,ha...time flies but really I'm the luckiest guy in the world that I have had this great women with me since I was just a kid. We grew up together and now have 2 kids and life is incredible. She is totally suportive in all my hobbies as I am hers. God blessed us well!

12.

We didn't date until 15 years later, I used my teens and early twenties having fun learning about what I didn't want.

Ran into her one night after she moved back to our hometown, got her number, went on a date, and just knew.

Thought I did, now I'm in my mid 30s, alone and I'm pretty much done.

I have a 3yr old and have no idea how I'd meet someone and foster a relationship.

Really young. We've lived in the same township, our families have been members of the same church for generations, and generally lived near each other our entire lives. When we really got to know each other she was 21 and I was 29.

Me 16, her 17. We were in the 11th grade in Mrs. Weaver's English class. We were best friends and young lovers. Had a bad breakup at 19 and I went off to college. We both married others, but thought about each other for 27 years without any contact. We saw each other this past April, had an immediate, intense connection and were fucking 4 hours later. Three weeks later we both started the divorce process. Mine was final 11 days ago, hers should be this week. If someone would have told me that this was going to happen after 18 years of marriage I would have laughed. I'm an analytical, logical engineer type who never believed in that soulmate shit; but apparently it's real. Our only regret is that we waited so long. Some of you may remember me posting here about this a few months ago. This is your update!

2000 - I was 22 and she was 23. She was a consultant working for a company I was working part time for while I was still in school. The company decided to sell off it's line of business, and she was tasked with determining when people would be let go. Effectively, she laid me off. We didn't start dating until a couple of years after that, but for pay back, I married her and got her pregnant 3 times.

Been happily married now for 11 years.

Several years ago, I built some cabinets for an elderly couple. They'd lost their spouses a few years a few years earlier, married in their early seventies, and had twenty good years together - another whole life - before passing, a few months part, in their nineties. Damn, I do love a love story.

And another world compared with people who never met a partner. Beeing alone when most other people have the time of their lifes makes a lot of damage.

I've got a friend who was happily married for 40+ years when his wife died, he was devastated.

A year or so later at 66 Years old he hooked up with a widow. She also lost her husband, she used to say he was the ONE.
Now Like school kids they both gushed " OMG she/he is the love of my life. I've never connected with someone else like this. "

My point is " The ONE " is just a myth, remember "Perfect is the enemy of good enough."

I knew within 2 months of meeting my wife that I was going to propose to her.
