Do you have a romantic history?

Or are you a one-man woman? (Something in another thread prompted this post.)

I had one high school love whom I saw one time a few years ago. I loved him dearly and still think about him.

I had two husbands, one of whom just died this past January. He was the father of my four children. I was only married to the second one for two years and we had no children.

Then I dated a lot (almost all casually) from 1975 through 1982 when I had a long relationship for ten-twelve years. After that ended in the early 90s, I never dated again and never missed it.

I only think of three of them these days. My first love, my first husband, and my last relationship.

How about you?

I never had a huge interest in dating; I saw it as time wasted that I couldn't get back. On my first date, I slapped the boy, and was back home within an hour. I knew exactly what I was looking for, and married him when I was 19. We are polar opposites, but get along very well and have been married 41 years.

One of my favorite movies, A Bronx Tale, a character says that we get 3 great ones. Meaning 3 big loves of one's life. This is true for me.

I do, because I don't 'kiss and tell'.

Wow! I guess that's true for me too!

I've been with the same guy since I was 15 and I'm going to be 60 this week. Been married 42 years next month. Boring I guess, but we've been happy. Not romantic at all. LOL

No, I guess I went on a few dates with other guys but my husband is the love of my life. I knew on the first date that he was exactly the man I wanted to spend my life with for a lifetime. We are married now over forty years and I love him more now than ever. I am a one man woman.

Thanks, Lilac. I have had my share of adversity in life but I have been blessed with a good marriage.
