Here's my story. My husband was a friend of my brothers. My husband is very quiet & shy. I went to visit my brother one weekend & met my husband. I had just gotten out of a relationship & was looking for new dating prospects & he was by far the cutest in the room. So I went over & started a conversation. He acted like I was the only person in the room & I loved that. My brother could tell I liked him so he made me a deal that if I got them tickets to the Purdue/Ohio State game he would bring my crush along (I went to Purdue, my husband & brother went to an Engineering school in Indiana). So I got tickets. Well friday night before the game (Halloween weekend) they showed up, but we went our separate ways (they went to the bars, I went to frat parties (I wasn't 21 yet)). I was on my way home when I saw my brother & husband walking down the street, I pulled over & my husband jumped in my car & my brother told me I could take him home. Little did I know he was very drunk. When we got home we kissed a bit & then he passed out in my bed. The next morning should of been ackward, but it wasn't it was like we had known each other forever. & I knew at that moment I would marry him. I told him I loved him a month later. He wasn't ready to say it back (he'd never said it before), but a couple of weeks later he said it back. I knew it was love because if something good happens or something bad happens he's the first person I tell. I have to tell him. I knew he always had to be in my life because I couldn't imagine what I would do if I didn't have him to talk to. He is my best friend & the only person in the world I can spend everyday with & not kill.

My hubby and I had class together in college. The first day of my freshman year (he was a junior) in college, I walked into my first class and sat down next to the guy that is now my husband. The teacher told us that our seats that we were sitting in would be our assigned seats for the semester. So, my permanent seat for that class was next to my now hubby. I had a boyfriend then, but he was a huge jerk and a pot head. So, after getting to know my hubby in class, I fell head over heals in love with him...I cannot even describe it. I broke up with my boyfriend, asked my husband out on a date to a sorority funtion of mine, and we have been together ever since. I was in love with my husband before we even had our first date! I used to have dreams about our wedding day before we even started dating!

I can visualize it like it was yesterday....The moment I first laid eyes on my husband and then heard him speak, I fell in love. I am pleased to say that the love still holds, maybe not as intense but there.
I couldn't imagine loving any other man like I do him.

I'm with Janet.
 I've been with hubby for 25 yrs but I can't say he's ever made my heart race by just walking into a room. I think I married him because I was comfortable and felt safe and loved by him. After my (abusive) first marriage, that seemed to be enough reason. I care deeply for him, and expect to spend the rest of our lives together, but I know he's not "in love" with me anymore either, which kinda serves me right I suppose. Just for the record, long ago I was "in love" so I do know the difference.

I will tell you that about 25 years ago, we did separate. I did meet someone and thought I fell in love, but I don't know whether it would have worked or not. Too long a story for details, but it was very nice while it lasted. Anyway, I try to remember if I hadn't stayed with hubby, I wouldn't have my son...and he's my life, he means everything to me. I just see how some people are as a couple and wish it for myself. My life is nothing, and I mean nothing like what I thought it would be or what I wanted. Seems like such a waste of time. Now it's more than half over....
