I dated my wife for 3 years, got engaged and married at year 4. We are 9 years in with a 3.5yr old and she is currently pregnant.
I actually met her at a dive bar in Brooklyn. We both were talking to other people at the time. The chik I was talking too wanted to keep her options open, so I dipped. Never really asked much about wife's situation at the time. Can't say I really cared because I experienced a a lot before meeting her.
We took a few trips together, they went good. I got along with her roommates, she lived in Park Slope BK, so we constantly went out and had great times. As time went on, I figured why not take the next steps. Got married at 34.
Love the the family unit we got going in here.
