If you had to marry the first person you slept with, how different would your life be?

Given that the first woman I slept with is now a lesbian, I’d either be someone’s beard or, more likely, still trying to recover from a divorce.

I’ll tell you in a few years time

I did exactly that. It was amazing…

Until I found out she was cheating on me with at least 4 other men (that I know of, it was probably more) over the course of a couple years. She left me for one of them and I finally came to terms with it last year and have begun feeling happy on my own again.

Terrible. She recently reached out to me after 25 years because she wants to cheat on her husband.

He became addicted to crack and then jumped off a building due to his mental health downfall. He was a really nice guy otherwise. So, I guess I’d be a widow?

I’d be in prison for murdering my mother in law.

She is a librarian in Norway. I am a lawyer in America.

One of our lives would be drastically diffeerent.

Wait, you mean you don’t have to marry the first person you sleep with? oh man

Fucking miserable.

I would be a widower. She was hit by a truck when she was 18

I did. We just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.

Exactly the same.

I think he’s a cult leader or in a cult or something so very very different. Last time I tracked him down about 8 years ago he was doing these classes on spiritual healing using chakras and shit. This is after he failed out of chiropractor school.

I actually did do that. Regret was the result

Mine was a rapist. So I’m guessing my life significantly worse.

We’ll he’s a gay man and I’m a straight woman so I’m not real sure how that would have played out. (He was bi at the time…we were in high school in the early 90s).

That was the plan. She was the only person to accept me for me. We could not have been happier together. Then, on December 2, 1987, she died in my arms. I don’t have any memories of the next couple years. I somehow graduated college and have gone on to a fulfilling career. I didn’t find another to love like I did her until 1999. She understands that there will always be a place in my heart where Kim lives on. This September will be our 22nd anniversary.

RIP Kimberly Kay Speakman. You will always be loved.

I’d be single again

Actually I did… divorced for years now lol

He was my first love, and even after we broke up, I’d often fantasize that we’d eventually reuinite and get married someday. We’re both married to other people now, and I am incredibly happy with my current partner of 18 years, but every once in a while, I still wonder how that would have worked out.
