Let's see how can I make this into a short version.........................
We met in college in 1994 we both had just gotten out of relationships. I was in a convenience store with a friend and he was in there with his buddies. On our way back to campus he asked if he and his friends could walk us back? Well duh yeah I mean since you're already going that way.
So we get back on campus and he asks for my phone number I gave it to him and he called that night. We only had 3 months left before summer break and I had already decided to transfer to a school back at home. So we would meet up on campus and go for walks, go to the movies out to eat etc.
He asked me to come back in the fall but I had made up my mind and honestly glad I didn't stay we might have hooked up and ended up going our seperate ways later.
Okay moving along I went home and my birthday was in 2 weeks, so I'm home and I hear the doorbell I opened the door and there was a delivery man with a huge bouquet of balloons and flowers. I was hoping they were from my ex-boyfriend but they were from DH.
Over the years we became the best of friends, I didn't want to do another long distance relationship and I didn't really see him in that way. I mean he is very handsome and the sweetest guy ever but I was still in love with my ex messing with him on and off so I couldn't see pass that.
In 1999 I finally put things to an end with my ex and not long after that DH started having issues in his relationship and I was beginning to look at him differently. We would confide in each other about everything!
Our feelings grew and we would become jealous when the other would go out on dates with other people
I realized that I was falling in love with him and one night while we were on the phone without a thought I just blurted it out. Once I realized I said it I was like Oh! God I can't believe I just said that and his response was "It's okay because I love you too".
We began a 3 yr long distance relationship, was engaged for 18 months and have been married for 6 years now. We have 2 kids ( my 13 yr old that he adopted and our 3 yr old together).
There is nothing like being friends (no strings attached) first before marriage, there's always that foundation.
Sorry I tried to make it short
