…who knows exactly where she'd be (because she's there now!) where do you think you'd be, and what would your life be like, if you'd married your first 'serious' partner?

    That's a tricky one, he is now back home with his parents in the town we grew up in and he isnt really sure what to do with his life, maybe if we were still together he would have gone in to banking in the city like his dad and we would be living in the city! Or more l;ikely after uni we would have headed back to our home town, would prob be married with a couple of kids. I probably would stay home with them while he works in the city and has an affair with his secretary!

    this is why we split up, he had trouble staying faithful!

    Think I chose the right path!

    If I was still with my first boyfriend the girl who he ended up dumping me for would probably still be hanging around all the time trying to split us up so I'd probably be pretty insecure and miserable!

    Very miserable and poor probably.

    And being asked constantly to convert to Islam.

    Which I wouldn't have done, hence leaving.

    I probably would have been happy and content as we were in our relationship. However, we struggled with the long distance and I think the relationship just ran its natural course. We still get along now and am considering inviting him to the wedding. I would have been more controlling though than I am now as I learnt a big lesson about that after our relationship ended but hen I may have relaxed as I grew up so who knows? The thought doesn't send shivers down my spine.

    I would have been married by 20 probably with 3 kids by 23, I would be a SAHM and a bit of arm candy like his Mum is for his Dad. Very sexist family, very defined old fashioned roles. He is a builder in his (v. successful) family business which he has now taken over and lives about 6 streets from my Mum. Nice enough lad but quite thick.

    First love, was with him from 14 to 19 when he proposed and I freaked out big time and ended it. I was in uni and had met my uni friends and wanted to move on when I saw people from different backgrounds and liked what I saw. I wanted to move in with them in second year and he wasn't a bit happy with it.

    He went a bit psycho stalker after I finished it and started turning up at my student house,(I moved in as soon as we split up) my work at my part time job, the student union. He even got his Mum to ring my Mum and beg her for us to get back together. He is married now to an older woman and has 5 kids (2 are hers from previous marriage) he still gets his hair cut in my BIL's barber shop! I personally havent seen him for years although apparently he still asks after me and hasn't aged well. ha ha. He was really good looking when we were young!

    I'd be dead. Nobody can cope with that amount of drugs for that amount of time without resulting in death or incaceration

    Pah! Good question cricks. I'd be a totally different woman. Wouldn't be allowed out, or see my friends. I'd be sat at home while he was out sh@gging about town. Probably have 4 kids by now. Damn I missed out there ?

    Probably living in a wood hut in the middle of the Devinshire countryside living as a potters wife... He was a nice guy but we both wanted different paces of life.

    I got engaged at sixteen to my first serious partner- what a goon!

    I can't imagine really, I am pretty sure I would have kids by now, I can't say anything bad about him really except he was deathly dull. My life would probably just be like it is now Smiley sad

    Ooh good question!

    I would be sat in a tiny flat with no social life and nothing exciting to look forward to. I left the ex because I realised one day that I'd wake up and it'd be 5 years later and nothing would've changed. Best thing I ever did!

    I don't think I'd have a bad life, but I'd have a more quiet (and more boring!) life with less friends/less time spent with friends and probably wouldn't have gone to uni either! In fact, I probably would still be working for the first company I ever worked for. He was a nice guy, but by the time I ended it we were completely different to each other.

    I'd probably be visiting him in a mental assylum! I'm sure he had serious mental issues.

    I married my first Serious partner, so i'm where i am! Very happy with my lot in life!

    If i'd gotten involved with an Ex (who i dated for like a month in high school) we kind of almost got together one night while we were out. I think if i'd ended up with him, i'd be a completely different person. Probably more dependant on going out with friends and trying to get away from the dour faced boy that he has become.

    Stuck in an abusive, celibate (not by choice) relationship, probably living within a stones throw of his parents and grandparents, never seeing my own family, never having a penny to my name and never allowed kids because he 'couldn't afford them'. Thats if he'd ever got his head out of his backside long enough to consider marriage.

    I am SO glad i'm marrying D. He is so different and so amazing.

    Also if i'd stayed with the ex i reckon i probably would have been ridiculed for my mental health problems and probably would have seriously harmed myself or even committed suicide by now.

    We definitely wouldn't indulge in many intelligent conversations that's for sure!

    He was a nice, good-hearted man so I definitely wouldn't be murdered or in jail, but he was rather dull and didn't have much 'up there.'

    I wouldn't be in a terribly bad position, as he was a nice enough person. Probably still living close to my parents and his, and almost certainly with a smaller income. But I would probably be frustrated as he never put me first (I don't expect it always but sometimes definately!) so I'm sure I would be still trying to change his prorities.

    I also wouldn't have done all the travelling, socialising and become so confident as that happened during my single years between my ex and meeting H.

    Exactly this! Even the wrestlemania bit!! Must be something with nice-but-boring guys and wrestling...

    Oh and first serious boyfriend was bad news but I was mad about him. my guilty secret is that one of the things that attracted me to H was that he reminds me of 1st bf sometimes (in a good way - H doesn't do any of the bad things!).
