How did you meet your spouse

Love is Blind
Met Hubby through my Sister (he was a friend of hers and I thought he was a jerk). She was hit getting off a school bus and spent a month or so in the hospital before passing away. He was at the hospital a lot and we sort of started hanging out together. One day, he told me he was going to marry me. I said No Way! He countered that he always got what he wanted, and I told him he was full of sh**! Eighteen months later, we walked down the aisle and will celebrate our 26th anniversary in July.

:howdy: I see your post!!! I met someone about 14 years ago. Was told the same kind of crap!! (I know it's not crap to some but it is to me). Okay, so met this guy 14 years ago. Wasn't that interested, he had personal things going on. Much later, he tells me "He always gets what he wants", I'm thinking "Yeah right". Not sure if he was referring to getting laid, or spending the rest of his life with me, but that's what he said. He came over, a lot, called me, we'd talk, we'd have lunch, blah, blah, blah. I started to have feelings for him, he tells me he loves me, but he still has personal issues going on. To make a long story short, after 3 years of friendship and much skeptism, I finally decided to give it a shot and take our friendship to the next level. I felt enough trust that this could possibly go somewhere :lmao:, WRONG!!!! It was a downward spiral, a southbound trainwreck!!! I knew I was skeptical for a reason and there ya go.

I am completely, without a doubt convinced that I am just a magnet for losers!!! While I sit back and read all of the "Happy, Sappy, Go Lucky" stories, I will be a forever, confirmed, bachelorette!

Hello, I'm new here, but I am just so head over heels for my hubby I had to share, sorry it's a long story...I had just reconnected with a college classmate at a bar when my roommate saw a guy across the dance floor that she just had to meet. This was totally out of character for her to set her sights on a guy and follow through, but I was happy for her and for me because now I would have time to devote to getting to really know the guy from my Bio class without leaving her neglected or as the third-wheel. So, she starts dating the guy from the bar who is in the Marine Corp., I start dating Bio guy. Well, the roommate's b/f has a friend who is always tagging along coming over to the apartment hanging with us at the bar, etc. Bio guy is laying it on thick and suffocating me b/c I'm not feelin' what he's feelin'. So, I tell my roommate one night that I think the tag-along is actually hot, she tells me that he's said the same about me, but I have Bio guy and he's banging some construction worker chick or whatever. Anyway, we arrange to hang out, but I stand him up for Bio guy. Then, we see each other again at the bar and I just know I want him, I tell him if he gets rid of her, I'll get rid of him, we send our respective "dates" packing. We all leave the bar and go to my place where by this time we're used to having at least 10 Marines hang out nightly, especially for Wednesday night dinners. So, everyone gets liquored up :buddies:as usual and Tag along and I go out on the balcony and I tell him that I think he should kiss me, he says "oh yeah?" and does. :smoochy: That was the best kiss I've ever had, seen or could imagine. He "moved in" that night and we have two beautiful children, two dogs, two cats, two cars, one house and a partridge in a pear tree. 5 years strong, approaching 6. Can't say the friendship with the roommate lasted that long sadly. Thanks whoever thought of this thread it's so nice to remind ourselves of our own "love story" every once in a while.

Last time I was at Johhny's was 21 years ago. Going to Yuma in late summer for work. Be interesting to see what the area looks like now.

Late summer? Best time.:lmao:
From what I've heard from folks back there it has really grown. from Yuma to the foothills is all built up. Johnnys was always a good time.

O.k. I've tried to avoid responding........... One friend asked another if they would like to correspond with another. Having been there, done that, I said not unless he wrote first. He wrote and I was roped into him. He asked me to marry him on the first physical date, didn't remember and repeated the question the next day. I said yes, his parent's questioned if I 'was pregnant'. No, 10 years later we had twins. We're together happily 32 (this nov) later.

...Navy boy working (for fun!) with a local farm family, started hanging out at the house with my dad...I had NO idea he was waiting for me to drop my current boyfriend. Wow, did he move FAST when boyfriend was out of the picture!

I thought marrying him would get me out of St. Mary's County...he finished his tour, got out of the Navy, and hired on with a local base contractor...27 years and three sons later here we are, still living the good life in the county! :love:
