Question: Marriage status vs relationship status, what do you say?
Total Votes: 157
Okay. DH and I have been together 7 years.
We've been married for 5.
When you talk about how long you've been with your partner to someone else, how do you say it? For us would you say "married 5 years" add the fact that it's been 7? Just say "married 7?"
The fact that we have a 6yo factors into this as I saw someone recently I hadn't seen in many years. They knew both DH and I separately then.
I said we had been married 5 years- then later wondered if I should have just said 7, so my kid didn't look like someone elses lol. Make sense?
What do you say?
I think most people realize that you dated before you were married.
My husband and I have been married for 8 years, but we've been together for 15 years without any separations. We are high school sweethearts and waited until we were older to get married.
SO, to answer your question if we're having a coversation I will mention both ... because 15 years is a long time and I think it's worth mentioning! LOL.
Definitely! I wonder if saying "together 7 years" and holding up the ring would do... Lol

I usually just say how long we've been married (8 years in April)
Too young for "the talk"????
