How Did You Meet Your Wife?

[Moiraine]

I haven’t met a wife, but I did offer to marry my former roommate so she wouldn’t get kicked out of the country. Luckily she can stay permanently now so we didn’t have to go through with it.

 

She was cleaner than the dude I’m marrying though. And made me dinner a little more often.

I met my ex wife at a friends wedding . She was the brides stepsister , and I knew her whole family except her . I danced with three girls at the reception . One was the bridesmaid I walked down the aisle with, and I couldn’t stand her. (it was required) . Another one was a girl I really wanted to date, and one was my ex . I remember my ex just felt right during that dance , and it was on from there . I’ve only been married once and after 19 yrs  it ended in 2010.

How did you know it needed to end?

Usual spats over the kids, money, etc turned into fighting, which lead to resentment , communication breakdown, growing apart, and eventually giving up. We mutually agreed it was better for all parties involved, if we split up. We are still friends, and even tried to rekindle/date a few years back lol,  but it just didn't work.

I know you said you are friends still but being that it has been about 10 years do you chat with her much at all anymore?  I would imagine if your kids are grown up you might not have as much to talk about.

If I see her around well usually chat some , or if something happens with the kids we’ll both be there but otherwise nope .

Nutshell summary version:  My spouse and I met under very bizarre circumstances.  While going to UNO, i worked at a hotel reservations place in Omaha.  I had a repeat customer constantly calling to book and change reservations at hotels in Philly, and eventually developed a rapport with her.  We even started calling each other when I wasn't work.  I was due some vacation time, and could get rooms ultra cheaply, so I booked two rooms and drove out to Philly, in the middle of freaking winter.  What an idiot.  So, of course there was an ice storm and they couldn't make it, but said they'd send their friend, <future spouse>, down to pick me up and bring them back to their home.  Spent the weekend at their place, hit it off with <future spouse> and left for back home, back to being a student again, with no real intentions of doing anything life changing, but we did talk on the phone a bit here and there.

 

Then, as cruel fate would have it, had a very serious and upsetting issue happen in my family, where I was being accused of something,  I told him what was going on, not knowing what to expect from him.  He began to tell me of a very similar thing that had happened to him in the past.  That similar type of accusation he'd gone through became a cemented bond.   I stopped the new major, graduated with the one I had the whole time,, and then moved to the Philly area not long after that and here i still sit, 24 years later.
