It was a shit show of Russian hookers and absolutely mentally ill (absolutely) women.
We’ve been married 15 years now and have two children. And it’s going great.
Not married, but I started dating my current girlfriend when I was 35. Met her on Hinge. She’s a year younger than me, and we are doing great.
I met my wife when I was almost 50, she’s a couple years older. We both deal with environmental emergencies and I happened to be responding to the same incident she was responding to. It’s been a fairytale romance and we’re still madly in love.
I was 39, she was 42, she slid into my DM’s because a mutual friend of mine was on a video call with her and I said “tell her I think she’s cute”, he was the worlds worst wingman and took entirely too long to set us up, so she took it into her own hands and started the conversation, then I asked her on a date and we’ve been together for over two years and she’s what I’ve been looking for my whole life. We’re currently looking for a house to buy together so it doesn’t have to be at “mine or hers” anymore and we can spend every day at “ours”.
Blind date. We’re divorced and she’s broke. Moral? Date them and if you are serious.. do formal premarital counseling.
I was 36 when we met. She was the only match I ever got on Tinder. She was three years younger than me. We dated about a year about a half and then moved in together. Got married about 4 years later. Still loving being with her 4 years after that.
My wife and I met when I was 35 and she was 30. We were both reluctant app users, but that’s where we met. I’d been in a bunch of long term relationships and the one hallmark with them was that I was always looking forward to the next time I’d be alone. To such an extent that I sometimes didn’t enjoy good moments. I thought I was just broken and would always be that way. I didn’t want to be alone for life, but did kind of expect to have a series of 12-24 month relationships for the rest of my life. But I met her at 35 and within a few dates realized I was only thinking about spending more time with her. It was a pretty easy indicator for me, given that I’d accepted what I thought was an unstoppable antisocial flaw. She washed it away, which made it a no-brainer to propose within a year. Easiest decision I’ve made. 10 years later and we’re happy as ever. Kids haven’t materialized (and probably won’t at this stage), but we’re not the couple that freaks out over that. We have very solid accountability with one another, just based out of our general obsessions with each other. Case in point, our careers have both gone really well since we got together because we’re both so motivated to take care of each other. We are admittedly weird and probably too codependent, but whatever. We’re happy and having a great time.
Let’s see…. I was 36, she was 34. Her brother had gotten married two years prior, and her now sister-in-law’s best friend was also a friend of mine. During the planning and events of the wedding, they decided they needed to set my wife up with someone, and our mutual friend suggested me. It was about a year and a half, maybe more, before she actually mentioned it to me. We started messaging on facebook, met for our first date about a month or two later, got engaged a year after that, married the next year, and just celebrated our 7th anniversary.
I was 50 and never married, she was 45 and recently divorced after a 25 year marriage. My buddy kept insisting i meet this lady his wife worked with (and he barely knew) because “we were both tall!”
They were all from my hometown but i had moved an hour and a half away for work. They all came up to go to church with me one night and we went out for dinner afterwards.
She was a hoot and had a little bit of edge, we hit it off immediately. We switched numbers at the end of the night and started chatting the next day.
Much to the surprise of our friends and our families, we married about 100 days later. Still happy as can be 15 years later.
We attribute our success to being older and understanding our expectations of each other. And we talk lots. Short term has worked great for us, but we don’t recommend it to anyone else.
We have had some string discussions but nothing i would call a fight. She is everything i had ever hoped for in a life partner.
My wife and I met when I was 40 and she was 35. We have been married for 5 years.
We met through a dating app. Talked exclusively online for about a month, before meeting in person – which allowed us time to get to know each other without the pressures of physical contact.
Our relationship is stronger now than it ever was and I believe it will continue to grow in strength.
I was 36 when I met my fiancee through Facebook dating of all places, she was 30. Best relationship I’ve ever had but that doesn’t mean it’s been perfect though. We each had some issues from our pasts, but we’ve worked through them together which was very different from my previous relationships. We’re not married yet but engaged and planning the wedding. I’m excited and she’s my person
It’s really good. We don’t stress the small stuff. We’re on the same team. We don’t let others interfere with our relationship.
I was 37 never married, She was 33 divorced, no kids we both had been single and on our own for several years. I buddy of mine had been trying to hook me up with people he knew for months, each and every one worse than the last. I was about to be over with it when he suggested someone who was the ex-wife of his cousin… I was certain this one would have been the worse yet. But, against my better judgement I let him invite her along when we went to the gun range. She was hot, funny and a no shit no games attitude. Meeting her that afternoon changed my life and I knew she was someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
It’s now 14 years later, been married for 11, have a wonderful daughter and son and I am a better man than I was back then.
Met my wife in my 40’s while on a group hike (meetup.com). We’re great.
Met her when I was 44 and she was 39. Married and now have a kid. I’m 47 and she is 41. My life is fucking amazing.
I met her on tinder. Easiest relationship I’ve ever had. Both of us are over the bullshit and just want the kick ass for the next forty or so years. Zero games or nonsense, one fight in three years, enough honesty and communication that we can just pick up where th other one is getting tired, especially with parenting. We spend 75% of our free time out in the woods. Minimal TV or other brain rot. We also both are happy to go do our own thing. For example she refuses to come inside until it is dark out. Sometimes I’ve had enough and crash out with the kid.
Met when I was 44 and she was 22…..divorced that one. Met when I was 50 and she was 45….still married happily after 12 years.
I was 36. She was 24. We both went to the same muay thai classes. One day the muay thai gym has a BBQ / drinks get together. We talked. Hooked up. I figured it would just be a short or casual thing.
A year later we were married. Shortly after that pregnant. Now we have a 14 month old and 4 months pregnant again. Both boys.
Everything is fine and cool. We moved right across from the beach recently. She is a SAHM and I work from home.
