How Long is Long?

[Lilith]

Hearing it's Mr. & Mrs. WildIrish's 15th wedding anniversary ( Happy Anniversary! :cake::hump::cake: ) I started wondering when you hear people have been together for _____ many years does it make you think..."geez that's a long time"??? In today's climate of serial monogamy what is a long length of time for a realtionship, from your point of view?

Lilith,

A lifetime.

[Steph]

Two nights! :jester:


Congrats to you and the saintly missus, WI! :cheers:

And Irish and his wife just celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss in May!

[WildIrish]

I used to think that about ten years, then fifteen, now it's twenty. I raise it so I don't have to think about "damn have I been married a long time!". ha ha

[Oldfart]

Isn't long when it's been longer than you can bear?

My 18 years with my ex went like a bullet.

[WildIrish]

Is it a good idea to eat chili for lunch today? :yikes:

I always figured 5 years was a long time, till I got there...now it's 10. (We're nearly at 9).

But it raises a question I've always had...when you say you've been together for a long time, how do you count it? Dating? Sleeping together (if different, <blush>)? Living together? Married?

I just recently (a few weeks ago) heard the sweetest story about just this subject.

A couple in England, by the last name of Aerosmith (yoooohooo!) were documented by the Guinness <sp?> people as being the oldest living married couple on the planet. The reason the story had aired is because, at 104 y/o, Mr. Aerosmith had died after 80 years of bliss with Mrs. Aerosmith. She is 102 y/o...and I am saddened to think that she'll not last much longer after losing the love of her life...and everyone else's life who had come and gone before them!

He'd given a statement as to the longevity of their marriage..."I say Yes Dear a lot"!

Everyone say...Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Happy Anniversary WI and Mrs. WI! May the next 65+ years be as wonderful!

Congrats on 15 years WI! :line:

This is REAL spooky y'know; I got married to my Ex on the SAME day as you and Mrs WI tied the knot - July 14 1990.
In my case, I've thought for a while now that it being "Bastille Day" in France was quite appropriate for us, given how often we fought!!

Anyhow, I digress - hope you two had a fuck-tastic day/night...... and here's to many more years together!!

Cheers.

my grandparent where together 60 years before they died, that is impressive to me. my parents i think have 30 years, seems so long but seems to go so fast.

[FussyPucker]

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. WildIrish!!!!

Can you believe that Lou n I have been together for 2 years and 6 months oh and about 4 days, 7 n half hours.........ish :D

[WildIrish]

Gracias Lixy! Leave it to you to find a story about a guy named Aerosmith. lmfao

Thanks DM...and coincidentally enough, the cards I get for Mrs. WI aren't anniversary cards. I give her nice cards that express my feelings for her, and at the bottom I write in "Happy Bastille Day".

East - My grandparents were married 62 years when my grandfather passed away. I agree with you, it is remarkable isn't it?

Fussy - thanks for the congrats! I love how much you and Lou love each other. It's great to see.

Congratulations,
I hope you have many more years together. Lixy got me to thinking. I say"Yes dear" alot too, 13 years isn't bad for two kids married while one is in high school and the other shipping overseas for the first year of marriage.

[osuche]

How long is long? It's only "long" when you find you're no longer excited to come home to him/her.

I -- personally -- am hoping for eternity. Mr. Osuche and I have been dating now since September 1994 -- just under 11 happy years.

(((((WI)))))) congrats

My 30th anniversary passed by rather quietly back in March...certainly seems like a long time to me, considering that we're both very different people now than when we were pronounced by the judge...also, in light of a recent developement, just re-established contact with an old friend/bandmate, who had married just a year before me, tells me how his divorce just became final...

[Scarecrow]

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. WI

How long is long, is 29 long enough?

[cherrypie7788]

Forever is a long time
