I had just gotten out of a on/off again college relationship. So we kept things cool and fun for 6 months. I wanted to have my freedom and be single. We made it officially following new year (we met in the summer).

Ugh my last relationship before DH was horrendous. We dated for about 6 months. He was a drug addict (meth) and had physically abused his ex. (Not sure why I thought this was a good boyfriend choice!!!)
He got nasty and more violent towards me over time and I immediately cut off contact and refused to communicate with him ever again when he made me fear for my safety and the safety of my roommates one evening. Then he stalked me for 6 months.
When DH and I first got together, we actually ran into him and I was so freaked out that he would start harassing me again. But I guess him seeing me with another guy gave him closure and I never heard from him again.
-
I didn't have one. DH is the only guy I've ever dated.
-
It was 14 years ago... when I was a freshman in high school! LOL!
-
I dated a guy for a little over 2 years prior to the hubby. He was younger, and my parents diapproved from the very beginning. He was selfish and some what of a player. Oh the younger years...
-
I dated a guy with the same first name as DH for about eight months before DH and I got together. What a waste of time he was...single me was an idiot.
-
I broke up with my high school boyfriend of 4 months within a couple days of leaving for college. Then, my husband and I started dating a month later!
-
Guy I lived with in college, dated off and on but had an ongoing friends with benefits thing...typical bad boy, and we were kind of addicted to each other (or at least the sex). I finally ended it for good when I met DH.
-
@highwire: ugh, that sounds so awful. So glad you're out of it and with your DH.
I had a few month-long blips but I consider Wagon Sr. my only relationship!
-
I met DH while I was dating someone I had been with for three years (with a break in there).
-
Oh young love. This is long... sorry!
My first boyfriend and I started dating a couple of weeks into our last year of high school. We dated all through grade 12. I was SO on love with him. Then the summer came and I was moving away to a University several hours and a ferry ride away. We kept up the long distance thing for that first year. Then when I moved back to school the following year things were different. I was tired of having to spend so much time on the computer chatting, and we had nothing to talk about anymore. I was bored...
I'm still ashamed about how we broke up. He rode a bus for 12 hours to come and visit me on Canadian Thanksgiving while all my roommates were out of town, and I dumped him (probably completely out of the blue) the day after he got here. He then had to take the bus all the way back home again... Ugh I still feel bad about it.
I started dating my now hubby less than a month after that. I'm a bad person...
-
I had dated a guy for 7 1/2 years, and we broke up 6 months before I met DH. Don't know why it took me so long to dump him!
-
3 months before... and it was a 5 year relationship!
-
4-5 months before. year and half relationship.
-
I was dating a guy long distance (me in Texas / him in California) He dumped me about 6 months before I met SO.
-
the ex moved out 6 weeks before DH & i hooked up for the first time. i wish him all the best, but we are just very different people and were living very separate lives despite living together.
-
I was dating a guy for over a year when I met dh but the long distance thing was killing me so I decided to leave the guy for dh.
-
I was married to a guy while still in college. He turned out to be someone completely different (I'm not the only one that thinks this, he lost childhood friends because of his behavior). I was devastated, but looking back now it was the BEST thing that could have happened to me! Late 2002/early 2003 it was already rocky. By 2004 I filed for divorce and it was official by 2005, the year I met DH. We got together 3 years later and all that other stuff is just history
-
@highwire: that sounds awful!! I'm so glad you were able to get out of that situation!
My last relationship before DH was with a guy who I was head over heels for! He was just really dependent on me. He had serious mommy issues and too much baggage. In general a really good guy but not for me. I worked with DH so once I was single, we started hanging out as friends outside of work and then dating not long after.
-
The last serious relationship I had ended about 4 months before I met DH. I had moved in with my ex but he became abusive and I finally had enough and moved out on my own. Best decision I ever made! I went on a few dates with some guys in between, but when I met DH, I knew he was it, and we moved in together after about a month!
-
Ummm...about 2 months, I think? I met Hubs and we "hung out" for 6 months, then I broke it off because he wouldn't commit. Not that he was dating anyone else, he just was terrified to get into a relationship and get hurt again. 6 months later (exactly a year after we met) he told me he wanted me to be his girlfriend.
ETA: I dated around a little in that 6-month time frame, but nothing serious. Just had fun. Mostly with my best friend. We were both single and lonely.
-
Well, I broke up with my BF at the time for my now husband... so, no time in between?
-
I broke up with the guy I had been dating 3 months before I started officially dating DH. Coincidentally they both had the same name!
I'd dated my ex for almost 18 months when he had up and moved to Australia without warning one day, and that's when I knew it was over, I just didn't let him know that until 6 months later when he flew over to visit. Does that make me terrible?! Lol.
I had also been hanging out with DH for at least 6 months before we started officially dating.

@alayaya: Good ol' Turkey Dump!
-
@Rubies: HA!! Turkey dump, I forgot about that idiom!!
I dated a guy for a little less than two year, we broke up just after I finished my senior year. I met DH 3 weeks later.
