Are you marrying your first love?

[amc80]

No, thank God. I was totally in love and wanted to marry him. The funny thing about love? You tend to overlook/put up with a lot. I am so happy that he broke it off. Obviously I was devastated at the time, but, as it turns out, it's one of the best things that he ever did for me. Now I'm with the person who I can honestly say I am meant to be with.

No. I had a high school sweetheart that was some form of love, though not the type of love i experienced after him, after high school I had my first true love and now fiance. Fiance has always felt very different from the others. I never felt like I had to be something or prove something to him. From the get go he liked me with no make up on and we could just be and enjoy each other. Some of our first dates were spent at my house watching iron chef, not out glammed out at the clubs like the previous love.

I was 25 when we first started dating.

Though I have only had 3 serious boyfriends I played the field plenty between them. I know I'm not missing anything.

1. NO! Not even close!
2. I was 33 when I fell in love with her.
3. Nah, I played the field enough for my taste, on both sides of the field

I was 15 when I met my first love. That was about a year of my life I'll never get back. Then dated a guy and got engaged and were together 7 years. Then met my ex-H, together for 8 years (married for 5).

I haven't played the field much in the sense that I was in relationship after relationship pretty much since I was 15. I haven't had "wild child" time where I went clubbing and hooked up with dudes. But I obviously don't regret it. Now that I'm "out" as gay I also haven't played the field much-- pretty much fell in love with the first girl I dated. But I wouldn't want to play the field either. She is beyond amazing and I couldn't luck out like this ever again.

No. I am not marrying my first love. Im actually still friends with him. We firgured it was better to be freinds with each other than anything else.

I was 20 when we first started dating. We are going on 3 years this Nov.

Personally, no i dont think i should have played the field more. Actually i was thinking about this last night right before we went to bed. Even though im young, ive had my share of guys, and no i dont think so. The boyfreind before this one, didnt work out. I dated and and played the field after that guy. HeHe....during that time, i hate to say this, but my motto was " every man has a purpose". I dont have that anymore, since being with my SO, cuz he fulfilled all needs, but before yes. I was bad.

Are you marrying the first person you've ever loved?

No. I've had one other LTR. I did love him, but it wasn't the same as how I feel about my SO. It was more like a best friend love. SO also had one other LTR before me.

How old were you at the start of your relationship?

I was 18 and he was 19 (we're now 22 and 23).

Do you ever worry that you haven't "played the field" more?

Worry... no. We spent 3 years of our relationship across the country from each other which really tested the strength of our relationship. I have no doubts that he's meant for me. There are days when it would have been nice to be more carefree in college and go on dates and such, but I don't regret it at all. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

I married my first love. We first started dating at 17 (me), 18 (him). We're now together over 11 years and married for just over 1 year. The odd time it would cross my mind that I might have missed out on dating other people but it wasn't worth sacrificing what we have together.

I'm marrying my first true love. I knew about three months after we started dating that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
We became really close friends and 6 months after we met we became official. I was 16 and he was barely17 his b-day was 4 days earlier. We have been together 4.5 years and are getting married next July.
I dated a lot of other guys before him, but there was something so special about my FF. I always felt that your boyfriend or husband should also be your best friend, and he is. When you know you just know. I think we were fated to met and be together (long story). I can't wait to be his wife.

Similar story here, except that we were slightly older (19) when we met and we've been together 9 years and getting married in September. I had other boyfriends before him, some of them quite serious, but I didn't love any of them. When I met FI, I knew he was different and that he was what I had been looking for all along.

No, I'm not marrying my first love. I loved and got hurt, and afterwards I "played the field", and now I'm marrying my true love. I couldn't be happier.

Exactly this. I was previously engaged to a guy I had been with for over 5 years, ended that engagement because it just wasn't right, did the dating thing for over a year, and found SO in the process! We haven't been together very long so it's a little premature to say that I'm marrying him, but I know that the THOUGHT of marrying him makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Are you marrying the first person you've ever loved?
NO, and thank god! My first "love" was my high school sweetheart. It was a bitter on again off again relationship, although it taught me alot, I do in every way regret not listening to my friends and family when they would tell me to move on from him. I've learned that people outside of the relationship see things that you may be blind to. After I finally saw the light and left him while attending college in a different city I met my second love. He was a college BF that I totally fell head over heels for, but he ended things because we were to young at the time and he wanted to "Play the Field" before he settled down. So my BF now is my third love, there were many in between, but I wouldn't consider them love.

How old were you at the start of your relationship?
I was 21 and he was 19, we're now 25 and 24. (we're 1 year and 4 months apart)

Do you ever worry that you haven't "played the field" more?
Not at all! I've been there and done that . I had a good 3 years of the single life, dating, clubbing and living on my own. I really like how Carrie in Sex and the City 2 said it, that she remembered what it was like to be that crazy girl, running all over the city trying to chase down that one special guy, and now all he wants to do is sit on their couch. Well I'm at the point where I'm happy to sit on the couch beside my man. I'm done with "The Field"!
