    Starting to date my now wife back in the day. I had known her for 15 years before we started dating and we’ve had so many wonderful years now that I can only wish we had started sooner

      I feel the opposite. I didn’t know my wife long before we started dating, and I am thankful both that I met her when I did and that we dated when we did. She got me after a good chunk of therapy. I am much better at being a human now, and I would have hated to have her go through the healing I had to do (I made all the mistakes and probably hurt a bunch of other people in the process).

      Similar story for my wife and I. 10 yrs of friendship before we started dating. I definitely wish we started sooner but I’m just glad to be where we’re at now.
