Did you break up with your SO prior to getting married? Did the time apart change the dynamics of your relationship?
We didn't have a break up.
-
Nope. I know a lot of couples that did, but not us. We did do the long distance thing for 4 years!
-
No breakups here!
-
Kinda...we didn't talk for years.
-
He was actually the first serious boyfriend I had where we didn't break up. For me, it was a big sign that it was a different sort of relationship
-
We never broke up but came close a few times. We know a few couples who ended up happily married after a breakup though.
-
Nope!
I'm secretly hoping this happens with my sister and her ex. I liked him so much for her!
-
Yes, and it did change our relationship a lot.
We had been together almost 3 years. We started to drift apart. He had an... indiscretion with a girl he worked with. We tried for a few week to make it work and then I finally managed to get some self-respect and break it off. We broke up for about a month before getting back together. We were engaged 4 months later. Now, we've been married almost 3 years and have a toddler.
I think the break up taught us not to take each other for granted. and helped us both grow up and realize what we had and what we wanted. Our relationship isn't perfect by any means, but I do think it made us better.
-
No. I think it's hard once you have those thoughts to leave to get past them.
-
No but most of my married friends broke up once and got back together.
-
We never had a breakup. We had an LDR for. A while and it got rough as hell sometimes, but we managed to keep it together.
I was definitely at a point of calling it quits. Loved him but so over the LDR. He wouldnt have it though. Reminds me of this CONSTANTLY.
-
We fought a bit (through som rough life circumstances we went through) I tried a few times to take the easy way out and break it off...
DH always kept me in check and would say that he wasn't letting me break up with him...which is how he says he knew I was the one...
-
We had a break up that lasted about 8 hours, while we were asleep. Be broke up at night and got back together in the morning. I had just moved in with him and it was pretty rough for both of us.... just really bad communication.
-
@artbee: haha, yea DH and I broke up once for like 3 hours in college
-
No breakups here.
-
Nope--we never broke up
-
@artbee: Does that really count? Hmm, Let me sleep on it. Lol
-
Never had an official break up but I did throw my e-ring at him once! I was a mess back in those day........ O_o
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: oh we were broken up. Dh said I should move out and keep dating, I said no way I'm not taking a step back, we decided I'd move out in the morning because it was late. And then in the morning dh came to his senses
-
@artbee:
-
Yes, we were together for 3 years, broke up for 4 and now we've been back together for 7 (married for 1 year). It definitely was good for us. We were young the first go round and long distance, so when we found our way back we were more mature, more confident in ourselves and very sure of our feelings.
-
We did. Dated for around 2 years and broke up for 4 months. We were just not working well together at that point! Definitely taught us to not take each other for granted.
In retrospect, I am so glad we ended it when we did--there was no way we could have been happy without going our separate ways for awhile.
-
never broke up. dated for a year. engaged for a year. now married for three.
-
No breakups here. We did get engaged after 10 months of dating long-distance though so there was not enough time. We didn't get married until 2 years after I moved here b/c I didn't want to move here and realize I made a mistake and be married. Thankfully, it wasn't a mistake!
-
No breakup. One year dating (a good bit of that was long distance too!) one year engagement, two years of marriage now!
-
Nope. 7 years, no breakups, no real fights. We just clicked from day 1. Very lucky!
-
Our break ups didn't count because they only lasted a few seconds.
-
Yes, we broke up for 6 or 9 months. (I can't remember which. I'll ask the DH later.)
We started dating in high school and things got a little hard when we went to different colleges and I wasn't sure if the relationship would work. No one cheated. We just grew apart and arguing got pretty bad.
We talked here in there but it was definitely a break for us. I was able to enjoy single life.
We got back together and things were different. The break made us realize that we wanted to be together. He proposed about a year later.
-
No. We dated for a few months, moved in together, got engaged after I graduated and were engaged a year.
This September will be 5 years together and 2 year wedding anniversary.
-
no break ups here. I'm not the type to get back with someone after a breakup. we dated a few months after we met. got engaged after 18 months, married on our 2 year date-iversary and been married almost 2 years now
-
Nope...we both stated that if there was a break up, we don't get back together.
But, we got married a year after we met, so I guess we didn't have time for break ups, lol.
-
No break ups! Dated for over a year, engaged for over a year, married for almost two.
-
No break ups, though we came close once WAAAAAAAY back in the early stages of our relationship!
-
Not us. The weird thing with us was, we were good friends in high school, and at different points during that time we were really into each other, just never at the same time. I'm SO glad we never got together then because I doubt we would have made it, and I'm not one to go back to someone after we've broken up.
-
Nope. We dated for almost 3 years, all but 2 months long distance. We've been married for 3.5 years now.
-
We never broke up, but we came close once.
-
We did when we had only been together about a month. I pressured him too much to make it serious and he freaked. A few months later we got back together and have been for ten years.
-
Nope, never even came close. We maybe fought 3 times before we got married and they were small things.
-
Not sure if it counts, but we dated sophomore year in high school for a few months, broke up before junior year, then we got back together last few months of senior year and been together since for 13.5 years!
-
No breakups here. We got engaged after a year of dating and married a year after that so there wasn't really time for a breakup:)
