**shaking head in disbelief** Yes I got married to my college sweetheart when I was 22 (Almost 23). We were together for 5 years before we got married too. It hasn't been perfect but we have been to hell and back together so we are in it for the long haul.
Wow before I was an item with my husband I had mostly males for friends so we all hung out together and sleeping in the same bed (couch, floor) was always an option. I always thought I was just one of the guys. But I think I was sort of clueless...

late 30's---wow you're 32 and married 10 years? Impressive! No I
don't think I have ever been able to share a bed with a member of the
opposite sex that I wasn't dating, not that the opportunity presented
itself all that often. Or rather shall I say wasn't dating and didn't
WANT to be dating.
