BellaOnline Forums Relationships Marriage How long have you been together?

8 years together - 5 years married - but it feels like i've known him forever! That's a good thing

We just celebrated our 14 wedding anniversary. We've been together since 1991. My husband and I met in college, then lived together for a year then we got married.

DH and I have been together just over 20 years. We've been married 13.

To be fair I believe men also treat women differently from when they date them. Time, comfort level, experience etc also have an effect. I think a couple can live together for decades and still treat one another like husband and wife.

Yes! True! It does go both ways. Comfort level definitely plays into how we treat each other. Sometimes, being comfortable with your spouse is a good thing. A wonderful thing.

And then...sometimes, being "comfortable" can take on negative tones. Taking each other for granted, for example.

This is a good thought for another thread!
