To ask for your love stories?

[spiritpony]

Just that really. Love hearing others love stories. I met my husband on holiday, he was not my type at all, but we just seemed to click. Felt like I knew him forever, but always had in my mind we were just a holiday romance (he lived the other end of the country) as it happens, it turned out we couldn’t bear to be apart and are now very happily married with 2 DC, been together almost 15 years.

How did you and your DH/DP meet?

(name changed as my story could be outing to those that know me!)

We met at work. I remember going to the doctors within a few days of meeting to get the pill. He asked if I was in a long term relationship. I said I was without thinking. We are now over 20 years on, so I wasn't wrong. Its just been really easy from the start.

That’s really sweet! Thanks for sharing

When I worked in a shop, he came in most days to buy simple things mints or chewing gum, we began talking , there is a big age difference and he was concerned but he asked me out anyway, we have been together 30 years with 2 wonderful boys. Just before we got married, when we were at the registry office, he told me that he only ever came in to see me, that he had walked past one day had seen me and had fell in love with me as soon as he saw me. Even the registar had a few tears Life hasn't been easy, his health is not good but we have created an amazing life together and he is my world

Met when we were 15.....apparently he went home that night and told his mum he had met the person he was going to spend the rest of his life with (much to his mum's amusement )...and here we are 43 years later still together🥰

What a lovely story! Sounds like you were meant to be

That is so sweet! Thank you for sharing!

We met in a bar, back in the days when smoking wasn't the world's most heinous crime ;)

He asked me for a light (though he had one in his pocket)

We got chatting online ( it wasn't a dating site , think more of a hobby ) found out the date we started chatting was a significant date for us both as it was his birthday and one of my parents birthday . We lived over £150+ miles from each other . Continued to chat over next 3 months . Then we met up , still got along fine , started dating and have been married 20 years .

Met when I joined a choir. Got chatting, got friendly, discovered we worked across the road from each other. When the choir was about to break up for the summer, I mentioned I often went and ate my lunch in the park. Next time I was there he appeared. Asked me out. Three months later we were engaged. Married a year after that. Been married 35 years.

My Dad finished NS, couldn't follow his original plans, and needed to leave his home town due to family reasons. He ended up going to teacher training college in my Mum's home town.
The first week there he saw my mum the first time at a college dance and, though very shy then, walked straight over to ask her to dance in front of her friends. That night he told his room mate he'd met the girl he was going to marry. He proposed 3 weeks later.
My father ended up staying in my Mum's town, lodging with my her Auntie. They saved and married about 5 years later and had 67 very happily married years together - true soulmates.
No true love story of my own!

This is going to sound very woo, but I have a had a few very strong kind of premonition type feeling in my life, like I had a thought and just KNEW it it be true.

I was 17 in my first job, DH was standing with his back to me, I did not know him, just had seen him around a few times, I did not fancy him at all, but in the split second that I looked at his back I was hit with this very strong feeling that we would be together for ever! A while after that, he tagged along with a group of us who used to go to the pub and we just got together. That was nearly 40 years and 3 kids ago😄

He was my boss, I was going through a tough time for various reasons including wondering why my boyfriend at the time wouldn’t support me, cancer in immediate family and an autism diagnosis. He sat and listened to me work through it all for hours. He went on a business trip and I realised I missed him and that he’d offered me tonnes more support than the man I actually lived with. I left my relationship and moved back in with parents. Couple of weeks later we convinced each other to go to the Xmas do, neither of us wanted to be there, I said I was leaving and he walked me to my car and sent my a verrrrry worried text about checking I got home okay (long drive) and I started considering there might be more to it. We acknowledged there was something there and went to a pub in the middle of nowhere to “discuss”. He kissed me on the way out of the pub and immediately started looking to change role so we could be together, which took about 3 months. He wouldn’t let me entertain changing role and took it as totally his responsibility and wanted me despite all the crap I had going on at one of the lowest points of my life. It really was the definition of “if you can handle me at my worst”. The first year of our relationship was actually the hardest due to various external factors but we really learnt to communicate. A decade later, getting home and catching up with him is the absolute favourite part of my day!

Infant school 😳
Married for 30 years!
