45 years this May. Ups and downs obviously, but we have always had our own interests plus joint things we enjoy together. My parents only made it to 26 years as my father died young. Mum remarried and that lasted 18 years until she died. My remaining aunt and uncle have reached 64 years.
I’ve been with my husband half that: 36 years. Quite long by today’s standards. If “The Crown” is anything to go by, The Queen and Prince Philip went through a very difficult patch after Charles & Anne were born, but divorce wasn’t an option for them, then. They muscled down & got on with it & lasted another 60 odd years together!
I suppose also they didn’t have to live side by side in a small house with money worries ........
56 years together in August. 51 married in July. We make each other laugh, he has mellowed me and I have given him some fire, we have now met somewhere in the middle and get on well, most of the time. I can honestly say that he has been my rock and he says that I have equally been his.
We met 49 years ago in March and at the end of this month will have been married 47 years. ? Last year we were in lockdown. This year we will be able to go out for a meal. Inside only until 8pm with no alcohol, or outside until 10pm with alcohol. Outside, in Scotland? Brrr, might just have a lovely meal at home with a nice bottle of red?. I’m not an outdoorsy person if it’s cold. ? ?
