How long have you been with your other half or longest relationship ?

[HovaGirl]

With my first wife for 13 years before I lost her in a horrid car accident and my second for 20, both like football a bit. In fact we were at the Amex on Saturday.

Sorry to hear that about your first wife.

Lots of people married again after a failed marriage on here. My divorce made me seriously question the benefits of marriage; it's certainly not a commitment anymore. Other than to satisfy religious beliefs - a valid reason - can anyone give me a good reason to get married these days?

Legal protection. And marriage is still a commitment. If you can't make that commitment, it's possibly the wrong partner.

 

[HovaGirl]

Together 38 years and married 37 years and she is a Season Ticket holder in Lower West

Are you in the LW as well or are you an ST in the North or sommat?

Mrs T and I got married virtually on a whim at my 40th birthday party, mainly to give people an incentive to turn up for it.

We were together 18 years before that, very happily, with no plans to wed - especially having watched my parents' and both my sisters' marriages all end in tears. I remember having lots of 'discussions' with my dear old mum telling her that no way was I going to fall in to the same trap that she and my dad had. No sir, the single life for me.

But since we got married the feeling between us has been even better and we've been even closer. Difficult to pin down exactly why, as nothing has outwardly changed, besides a couple of rings and a piece of paper. We're not religious; have no kids. It just feels better.

Really pleased for you buddy - enjoyed your post

It must be wondeful to find your soulmate and for it to last a lifetime. Good on anyone who has found this.

I thought you'd been married to Spielberg since 1975

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Pretty much given up now mate.

Never give up ... but enjoy what you have as well and enjoy your life.

There's a business idea for someone a dating website for single football fans. Now the likelihood of picking up a fellow Albion an in your age bracket is remote BUT you may pick up an "palatable" Charlton fan ... doesn't sound so good now .... I'M OUT!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I did get conned out of £ 50 recently from maturedating, lol !

I read that completely differently !!!!

Anyway, with ex for 18 years ( 12 married ) and current squeeze for 6 years.

I honestly think I prefer the fact that my missis is fairly indifferent when it comes to the footy.

Blackpool at Goldstone in the North Stand end of season pitch invasion at the end, scared her to death, never going again
Chesterfield away lost 0-1, oatway sent off nearly pitch invasion and punch up with stewards near us, again scared her, never going again

How could she not enjoy 3000 of us on the open terrace at Saltergate? A memory I have of the game was that someone chucked their mobile phone onto the pitch when it all got a bit lively at the end. Even in my frustration at the time I remember thinking that that has to be one of the stupidest things ever to chuck at a football match.

Yes I can see why you might prefer that, But when at football she has her mates and I have mine, when drinking pre/post match we are rarely together until perhaps its time to stagger home
definately works for me

 

[mistahclarke]

4.5 years together. Not all plain sailing if I am honest.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Met on a blind date back in '83 = 30 years
Married in '87 = 26 years
Been through some good times and tough times - its a partnership ....
Only game she went to was play-off final in 2004 at Cardiff - footy not her thing

 

[Birdie Boy]
