47. We were in the same class for a program for people on welfare.
Soon after the clashes ended, I found a job in the city. I recommended that she apply since we were still hiring, and she got hired too! Not soon after that, I helped her out by letting her know my house had a room open to rent (1 house 5 bedrooms, I was a tenant), and she moved in. I wasn’t seeking any kind of relationship with her.
One day I heard her laughing while watching Youtube and it was the most beautiful and genuine laugh. I thought to myself “fuck”. A couple weeks later we were watching Stranger Things and we started holdings hands and cuddling.
We’re getting married next year
48. Technically we shared a hospital room at birth. Both our moms were stuck together. My mom is his aunt’s best friend (20+years). The meeting we remember came later. About 6 years old. I told him he was “super duper handsome” and leaned in to kiss him because I’d seen it on a show. He kicked me in the vagina and ran away.
The boy ended up chasing me for years. We finally started dating at 18 and now 10 years and 2 beautiful boys later, we are still going strong!
