Its very crazy how i meet my husband. Im just wondering if anyone else had a crazy story on how everyone meet their better half. I was dating this guy for a long time and he asked me to marrie him and of course i was in love with him so i said yes. Well something happen and we endded up breaking up. Well then i started dating this new guy. Well i got a phone call on april 1st from my ex's wife and they had someone for me to meet. So i agreed to meet this guy and we hit off pretty good. So i started dating him and ended up marrying him. Well it is my ex's cusin they call each other brother. When we started going over to his cusins house it felt so wrong. Me and his wife are good friends but still kinda dont fit right with me some times im not going to lie i still have feelings for him he was my first love. I feel like she is going to see me look at him one day by mistake and think something is going on there and start a fight. Any one have any suggestions?

Well, he's not my husband yet. But we have been together for more than three years now. But we know each other for 10 years now. We were classmates in college for five years. After graduation, we were not a couple yet, not until our exam for our professional license that we needed to study hard to pass. We rented a house, five of us friends, and that's where we developed our feeling with each other. We pass the exams and we became officially a couple.

My husband was my brother's office mate and a friend. I met him when I joined them working at the same office. He's 7 years older than me that's why I Looked at him as an elder brother. We became so close friends that we even take snacks together, He would even sent her girlfriend messages through me as he can't show to her girlfriend's mom as she's so strict. She would even confide to me whatever problems he encountered with her girlfriend. Came the time when he broke off with his girlfriend that he turned his feelings to me. Since we're friends for too long we just found it so easy shifting our feelings to a love relationship. We got married after two years.

That is nice. You have married for how many years, may I ask? Its really true that one of the secrets for a successful relationship is that you have to be friends with your partner. That way, you can build a better relationship with each other, aside from the romantic connection that you already have.

WOW, you guys have been friends for awhile then. Im not sure if i could have done the long distince relationship thogh. I would so have a big worry in the back of my head that maybe he is not being faithful. If you dont mind me asking did it ever come across your mind that he might not be faithful while being far away from you? If you dont want to answer that fine i was just wondering cause that would so be going through my head at all times. Not that i dont trust my husband but i guess that i just dont trust other women you now.

Your story is indeed crazy. You never know how you will find your better half. I met my husband through a friend who is actually courting me at that time. He asked me if I know someone named (mentioned my husband's name) in my school (i was college back then). I said no I dont'. One day my friend called me said he will introduce me to my husband. They went for a visit at my house and introduced me. Actually our world is quite small indeed, I know her second ex girlfriend since she became a classmate of mine, then the other one is I know His first ex's sister. She was our neighbor from our old house. Then her cousins are from my church. Anyway, we started dating and after a year got married. till now we are happily married.

I think that friends have alot to do with people meeting there better half. I enjoyed reading your story on how you meet your husband. Im glad that your love never failed and that you are still happily married. I hear that alot of married people end up getting a divorce some time in the first 5 years. Hoping something like that dont happen to me. Me and my husband have been married for 5 and a half years so we are doing really great so far. I mean we have our ups and downs and we have separtated at one point but that didnt last long at all. If i remember right it was only like 3 days lol. Nither one of us could stand it any longer.

I was working in a dental office and my husband was a patient. I worked there for over 10 years and when I was finally free and he was just coming out of his divorce, we got together. Its been over 10 years now and I am every bit as much in love with him now as I was in the beginning. Turned out to be a perfect match
