      We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

    Ahhhh, I’m old, so don’t hold me to the exact year or anything, but fifteen years? Ish?

    We knew each other before we were friends, so the exact year is kinda nebulous in my head

      That’s similar to what I was considering saying - my wife and I disagree whether we met when I was 22 or 23 and all the services we used to talk back then (IRC server, Skype, AIM) are gone, so there are no easily accessible records.

      That said, I’m about to turn 38, so also fifteenish years is how long I’ve known her. We got married about seven years after that.

        I really wish there had been a way to export all the teamspeak records, because we were cracking each other up left and right.

        I did go through and copy/paste some of the Skype conversations, but that was just for some of the silly poetry and such that I wrote to her, and after I put it into a .doc file, I cleaned it up, and I can’t remember if any of it had dates listed if I hadn’t.

        This is why people keep diaries lol.

          I agree with you … But the contention mentioned above is mostly just a joke between us now. The good news is that I plan to be with her the rest of my life and die before she does, so how long we’ve been together is less of a concern to me than how long we will be!

    I met her end of 2020 and we stated dating on the spot while I was on a business trip to South Korea during the pandemic.

    Over 20 years. We probably met through mutual acquaintances 30ish years ago, but that is lost to the mists of time.

    I met her just before May Day in 2009. Two days later we were going steady. Three months after that, engaged. A year after we met I moved in with her and a year after she proposed we were married. Well, church married.

    We were protesting for marriage equality and refused to file a marriage certificate until it was the law of the land; but we had kids before that happened and then we got busy and we didn’t actually get around to that part until the pandemic lockdowns. So ten years after we got married we turned in our marriage license.
