So of the Homecoming thread. I wonder how many peas or pea families are from HS sweethearts? My parents- I call stepdad#3 as he spent most of my growing up years after 2nd dad. They married in 1990. I'm the oldest girl he pretty much took care of us in every way, After several failed marriages and kids and now grandkids. They've been together 25 rs when she died so this year would be 28. They always celebrated their anniv. coming up here on the 25th of Jan. with Burns Night. A full blown Scottish holiday to honor Robert Burns (scottish poet) including Haggis and a reading.
A lot of their HS friends come, and even came to her wake, including stepdads brother who dated my aunt for some time while mom and stepdad dated back in the day. They're still good friends.
My two brothers also married his HS girlfriend and they've been married but of and on again. They fight like nobody I've ever seen, definately a love hate relationship and they have 4 kids. They bought a house and wer're trying to make it work again after the divorce but now there seperated again .. their the craziest ones. lol! The 2nd brother they've really made it work. They have three girls. All my inlaw are redheads :0

My mom and stepfather were high school sweethearts, broke up when he went away to college, both married other people, each had two kids, both divorced and then reconnected at a high school reunion and got married a couple years later. They've been married for 35 years now.

my maternal grandparents were high school sweethearts - they didn't marry right out of high school though. They graduated in 1921, I think, and married in 1935.
DH and I aren't quite high school sweethearts - we met at 13 (8th grade) but didn't date in high school (we were best friends instead). Dated once I was in college (and away from mum's no dating rules) but broke up and then reconciled 7 years later and married when we were 29

Both my parents and my DH’s parents were HS sweethearts. The divorced when we were teens but honestly, once the anger/hurt settled down some, they were friendly and shared a lot of time together with our kids. My MIL took care of her ex while he was dying of lung cancer. She is an amazing woman who sets a wonderful loving example for our kids.
My father cried like a baby when my mother died 3 years ago, while standing beside his 3rd wife. I know Mom never stopped loving him.
I met my own DH in Jr English class when I got in trouble for talking to my girlfriend. The teacher moved me away from her & next to him and the rest is history. 40th anniversary in 3 weeks.

Oldest son and wife were high school sweethearts and remained that way through college even though at different schools. They were married 3 months after they graduated, and have been married 28 years. So good to see young love grow to maturity.

DH and I were HS sweethearts. We met when I was 12 and he was 13--7th grade history class. The one with the highest grade in the class got an A+ and we competed for that grade. He got it one semester and I got it the other! We didn't date then, as he thought I was stuck up and I thought he was a nerd. (We were both probably right!)
When I was 15, I started dating his best friend, but DH drove us everywhere because he was the only one with a car. The other guy and I parted ways and DH was still there. We started dating when we were 17, unofficially set our wedding date our freshman year of college, made it official our junior year, and married a month after graduating HS. We had a long distance romance while in college--I was in MN and he was at the AF Academy. But we made it through and 28 years later (almost 29), here we are.

We have been married 34 yrs and added 3 more kids to our family. It's hard to do.. we don't have kids. That's awesome! Dh just finshed his Assoc. in fact he got his degree fedex. He was starting to worry because a lot of friends were posting pics he was worried he actually finished lol! We met after HS but he knows the same people I went to school with here. My step dad#3 sent us a pic of him and my mom at their graduation. @knot all three of her spouses were devestated when they learned of her passing. I've talked about it on here. I don't know that step dad #3 will ever recover. Some days I really worry about it and he's having health troubles, but she parted the sky for him. love hearing all your connections! |

I was married to my HS sweetheart for 14 years- was with him for 17. We have 2 DDs and 3 DGDs. He's married to his 3rd wife and lives a couple of miles from me. We get along great and if I need him for anything he's a phone call away.

We started dating our senior year in HS. We did not go to the same school. A mutual friend introduced us to each other. That friend went to another school yet! That friend became my husbands best friend. After our second baby, he met my husbands sister. Guess what, they got married! We have been married almost 23 years.

We dated for 6 months sophomore/junior year. That was also dh's first attempt at tutoring me in algebra. The relationship ended badly, when he dumped me. I was distraught, threw myself on my bed sobbing and thought the world had ended. I got over it, but always had him in the back of my mind. Then we would see eachother once in a while and there was always something there, but we never got back together. We both moved on to other relationships. At 21 he called me, out of the blue just to say "hi". He was home visiting his folks and I had moved back home to finish college. I was taking algebra, again and needed help. He came over to work w/me and we've been together ever since, almost 40 years.
I still haven't ever passed algebra (severe reasoning learning disability), but I got a wonderful dh out of it. Then dh tutored me 6 more times after my first college attempt. So, HS sweethearts can end up together even when one of them doesn't pass algebra (8 times. count 'em.) FTR, I'm contemplating taking algebra just to prove that I can do it and dh is dreading it, because he doesn't have that kind of time. Lol. |

So many good stories.
We dated off-and-on from 8th grade until our freshman year of college. We never really broke up, but just drifted apart. His mother died about a year later and I went through that with him even sitting with him in the family pews at the funeral. But eventually, we just lost touch. For many, many years. Lots of life happened to both of us in the meantime. Facebook brought us back into contact as we were approaching the age of 50. Our first in-person visit with one another was all it took and we 'knew.' We've been married for 7 years now.

DH and I could have been - we met when he was in HS and I was in MS (went to the same church, sang in the choir, and our families were friends). But we could never get out of our own way enough to actually become sweethearts. He did take me to his Jr prom, which was a disaster so we never spoke of it again but stayed good friends. We lost touch after he went to college and didn't reconnect until much later (2010). We've talked about the "what ifs" and both of us agree that we probably wouldn't have worked out if we'd actually become sweethearts in HS so it's better this way. We're both very different people than we were back then. But I thank my lucky stars every day that I knew him back then and have him back now. Jen |
