Who is the love of your life & how did you meet?

... if you have met them yet.

I love to hear these stories

In the pub for a friends birthday, I told a friend on the way home that I thought he was cute, buy a bit of a dick!
Said friend and his brother were friends and magicly we were all in the same pub the next night.

Just to confirm I was a student, I don't spend all my time in pubs nowadays.

My husband. Met at school, same circle of friends for a decade, dated for 3 years between 17-20. Work took us our own way and for 20 years we both had two failed long term relationships with children involved. Just under two years ago I moved back to childhood town after divorce, and he did after a break up. We got back together, and married after a year.

My husband. Set up by friends nearly 18 years ago at a New Year's Eve party.

Just over ten years ago on my 17th birthday my dad made him sad scarce so I could have some friends over and a small amount of alcohol, we needed someone to get it, my friend knew someone who was already 18 and drove.. so he came and got it..
We kind of knew of each other from school, that's our fairytale 😂

DH; met when he was my first aid trainer. He let me rip off his shirt and stick on pads and (pretend) defibrillate him. Unforgettable. (He also pretend-vomited over another trainee using OJ and digestive biscuits. What a charmer).

We met in the local village pub near Christmas time when he was home from agricultural college. He was so shy he just awkwardly smiled into his pint glass, but I went home and for weeks was telling people about the most hansom farmer I’d met. He went back to college and I didn’t see/speak to him for another 6 months when he was home for summer. Didn’t even know his last name. We had a very brief summer fling (that really was very brief because he was so busy with harvest, think kissing in a tractor at midnight rather than anything more exotic!) and then I moved away. Kept moving around with work for 5 years or so, until eventually I moved back to his county permanently. Within 3 months we were living together, and within 2 years we were married with a baby on the way.

Jason Mamoa, in my dreams

Though in reality it was in a busy fracture clinic at work😍

And yes-I married him! Now have four DCs.

32 years ago when we were 17

We both started work in a new branch of halfords, apparently he saw me at the training session at a local hotel and asked who i was

I was on the same break as him and some of the other boys but as there were no girls apart from me on that break and i was very shy i stayed in the kitchen

So the first thing he asked me was did i want a ful of tea and to jojn them in the staff room...no!

Although we didnt ever see each other we were at the sane college and went to the same college Christmas breakup afternoon at a local pub where we kissed

And the next day was a Saturday so we were both at work and we did that whole...stand at opposite ends of the room with our friends and act casual bit..... At the end of the day when i was titting round with a (male) friend on the way out of the store he asked me out (apparently he had been trying to get me alone to ask all day and in the end had to ask in front of everyone)

He came round my house that evening as i was babysitting my brother and the next evening we went out to the cinema

He is a lovely man and an excellent husband and father

Online! I went on a million dates with people I met online. Sometime 2 or 3 a week, I absolutely loved it. Non ever got beyond a first date untill I met my hubby. Five years later, married, mortgage and newborn!

My boyfriend! We met when I was 7 and he was 10 at school. I had the hugest crush on him in my teens. After 23 years of not knowing each other, just being FB Friends for a few years he contacted me to say hi. We've been together ever since, for a year now, he's moved his life to be with me and we're so happy. Turns out all that time we've been almost close to bumping into each other being at uni only down the road from each other, him recently doing a masters in my city over the last 3 years, me even serving him in my pub when I was a student. Took till I was 38 to find the love of my life again 😍

Nearly forty years ago on Paddington station. We were meeting under the big clock as we were both off to the same summer camp doing voluntary work.

I'm emotionally needy this morning & these love stories are making me smile 🥰

I especially love maerd kissing in a tractor!

DH is the love of my life, I met him when I was 29.

I was at a rave with my friend and he came over chatting to us and when he wandered off I said to my friend that he was going to be my boyfriend. We had quite a few friends in common and there was a large social event that we were both invited to and ended up chatting more and getting each other’s number.

We went on a date the following week and were totally inseparable after that, we moved in together six weeks later, were engaged a year later, married three years later and had DS four years later.

I absolutely adore him, I get butterflies in my tummy when I know he’s in his way home from work, he’s absolutely 100% my soulmate.

(Sorry if that was a bit soppy!) 😊

Mulberry72 thats so lovely. You are very lucky, as is your H! Xx

DP. He's my soul mate and the absolute love of my life. We haven't always had things easy and had to work hard to be together. I now have 2 DSC who I adore and I couldn't imagine my life without any of them. The day we met I knew, regardless of anything else, that I'd met a friend for life and we truly are best friends. We have the same daft sense of humour and constantly mess around like teenagers (which neither of us are!). He keeps me grounded. He accepts who I am. He supports me. He tells me I'm beautiful and that he loves me, daily. I miss him from the moment he leaves on a morning and I look forward to him coming home everyday. We do everything together. Share hobbies and I go out with him and the lads. We have our own little routine, watching the same TV shows together then going up to bed together each night. I've not been well for a few days and have been finding it hard to sleep. I woke up this morning and he had propped me up because I was coughing and was giving me a cuddle. I know all of the above, and probably take it for granted. It's nice to write it all out and appreciate what I've got. I'm a lucky sod.

LMW1990 you are so very lucky and it's lovely to read. I imagine your DP is very appreciative too, you both sound lovely!!

I met my DH over 30 years ago and I can honestly say he completes me. I know I would not have become the woman I am if I had not met him. He 'got' me from day one and has never for one moment let me down. He has filled my life with love, laughter and positivity.
When we met I have gone through massive changes; left a relationship, left my job and moved to a new city to go to university as a mature student. DH had done similar.
At first (and second) meeting I thought he was an absolute arse. He was nothing like anyone I had ever been attracted to before.

How did we meet? In my first term of Univ I was in the campus bookshop, all keen and looking to buy course books. I was going along reading the titles on a set of shelves, stepped backwards and fell over this lump of a man sitting on the floor reading. His thick head clashed with my collar bone and broke it!! He stayed with me as a taxi was called.
Later in the week he was waiting for me in my faculty block and insisted I go out 'for a coffee' as his way of apologising. Didn't relish the prospect but found myself spending the day with him in Derbyshire, 7 hours of laughing and talking. I went back to his and never left. We married 9 weeks later! The best decision I ever made.
He claims he only kissed me to stop me talking 😉
Ironically we should never have met, our courses were taught on different university sites, he was only in that bookshop as he'd stayed with a mate in halls the night before.
In June this year, he nearly died and had to have emergency life changing surgery. It has been challenging as he's come to terms with this. Everyday I give thanks that he's still with me.
