Met my wife online, we were friends for a year and a half and she came to visit and 3 days later we were a couple, 2.5 months later we were engaged and 14 months later we were married. 3 kids and 17 years together it worked out pretty good.

Met her online. She moved in about a year and a half after we started dating. I proposed to her in May during our vacation in Iceland. We are getting married in April on our 3 year anniversary.

Like, 3 months.
Like others, it was circumstances that made the move sort of work for us, not something we planned on. Somehow it worked out

My wife and I were engaged after 6 months of dating, married a few months after that and then it took us two more years before we moved in together due to working in different cities. Been happily married 7 years now and currently living in separate cities again while I do my MBA.
To each their own.

Yes.
They are also pretty funny sometimes. But mostly the boredom and existential dread thing.

How long did you date your wife/husband/partner before moving in together?
Met my wife in 2007, bought a house and moved in together in early 2009, got engaged late 2009, married sept of 2010 and had our first beautiful little boy in 2012

Might want to find someone you have things in common with. Makes spending time together easier.

Yeah, no kidding.
People don't believe me when I say my wife and I never fight. Sure, we get a little snappy once in a while, but we have never had an argument or fight that lasted more than 5 minutes. That is after about 15 years of dating and 13 or so years of living together.

Good for you, but that's not how almost anyone else's relationship works. No two people agree on everything, nor should they. Conflict is normal, fighting happens, but it's how you resolve conflict as a couple that creates a strong marriage.
Or maybe you two are the most laid back people in the world if there's nothing you would bother fighting over.
Of course, couples who constantly fight may have serious issues as well, so there's obviously a happy medium.

Time to come out of the closet, perhaps?

Living with my gf was a lot better than living alone.
Not only splitting costs but living alone is so boring. Drives me nuts. Constantly looking for things to do to get out of the house which in turn usually costs money.

I never fight with my wife. That would be mean.
You sound like a bad husband.

Really? I have best friends who I have about a thousand things in common with and I still wouldn't want to see them every day. Oh crap, I just opened the floodgates for the "My spouse is my best friend" dweebs, didn't I?

I don't really get in fights either. I know it probably doesn't come across on here because I'm a little opinionated but IRL I'm probably about as laid back as a person can be. It's not really about conflict, so much as I just like being alone.
I take my personal space pretty seriously.

Perhaps you're just a misanthrope?
