We only have one set of friends who have been together longer than we have, by about four years. But now we're all older, so even though we've still been together for a longer time, our other friends are also, mostly, in long-term relationships.
And, oh my, god, we totally thought I'd be the disciplinarian and he'd be the fun, goofy parent--and he is pretty goofy and fun, but he is *so* much more the hardass than I am. Plus, in my experience, about 85% of the things you think you'll do as a parent go out the window by about month 3, anyway ... :)
