Nope, not me. I think I had five or six boyfriends other than my husband.

 

[JCmyFriend]

I've only had one other serious relationship. The rest, I'd like to forget.

 

[HeatherJay]

Well, I dated lots of boys. And I had several semi-serious relationships. But I only ever loved one other boy...and we definitely had a very serious relationship. I would have married him if he had asked me to...but he didn't. God obviously had a plan.

I had seven or eight casual relationships during my school days, and one serious relationship other then my dh. Even though some of the lessons learned were difficult, I am glad that I learned them before meeting dh.

My dh has about the same dating history as I do.

I had 2 casual relationships with other men before my hubby.

big daddy, (aka michael) was my third boyfriend before he and i got hitched. the others don't really count to me.

I wasn't walking with the Lord like I should have been back then so ... I dated quite a lot, only 3 somewhat serious ones though.

"Only" ... sorry that just sounds terrible to me.

Since I've gotten closer in my walk and dh and I have been together for many many years I look back and with that he and I had been eachothers first loves.

That would have been really special and I don't think we'd of had any problems learning our lessons together rather than prior to our meeting. In fact most of the important lessons we've learned in life we've learned together anyway.

All the others were just wasted time.

I met and married my DH so young, I didn't allow myself the time of my life to date, or have a serious relationship at all. It's one of my greatest regrets, really. I never exposed myself to any other personality than his, never learned to judge between individuals, or to comparatively decide what personality type I was REALLY attracted to.

Well I assumed 'casual' and 'serious' meant no sex or sex- could be wrong, but with that assumption- 1 casual.

Actually he was a bf in senior high school, we dated for a few years.

2 years with nobody, then I met my hubby (and became a christian!)

I had two serious relationships before I met my husband, and a few casual ones in there somewhere, too.

 

[Redguard]

At the time when I was dating them, I thought that these were serious relationships.

But in hindsight, the three girls that I dated before Mrs. Redguard were never really "wife potential".

Amongst those three ex-girlfriends were a small variety of semi-casual whatchamacallthems.

 

[c1ners]

I casually dated one other guy before I met my first husband. But then again, I was only 16 when we met.

Now....between the time of his death, and the meeting of my now husband I dated several several men.

 

[felinity]

I had one serious relationship before I met my husband. The ex and I dated for over six years.

I had a few casual relationships between them. They felt kind of serious at the time, but I know better now.

 

[icbeckyc]

There were 2 guys that I really dated before my husband that I was really interested in. Then there was one guy I liked but he didn't feel the same way and one guy that liked me that I only though of as a friend. But growing up I always had lots of guy friends. My hubby was the first one I really wanted to marry. While I talked about it with the first two I mentioned, mostly because we had dated for so long and everyone thought we would, even if we really didn't.

 

[RunnerGirl]

I had two relationships before I met mu DH that at the time I considered serious... but now I see that I didn't have a clue what "serious" meant until I got married. A schmatter of casual dating relationships as well...

 

[Beth1231]

Two relationships that were somewhere between casual and somewhat serious. My husband is the real deal, there really is no comparison to those two losers in my past.

 

[gracepaints]

I went on plenty of dates before my husband, but had only one serious relationship.

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I had a mix of serious and casual relationships beforehand.

I casually dated boys and I also had 2 fairly serious relationships before my husband.. My first serious relationship was with my high school sweetheart- typical puppy love type thing and he broke my heart (he broke up with me for another girl who WOULD have sex with him....)

The second serious relationship I had was during my first year of college. He was a fantastic guy and we broke up on good terms (although I've never seen or spoken to him since we parted) simply because our schools were about 3 hours away and it was really hard to see each other since neither of us had a car to use whenever we wanted.
