Met my Hubby

[Pam]

Gra and I worked together, and after a while, we worked berry closely together ;)

How did you meet your partner?

[Monty]

I was already going out with another guy (6 months) but we were doing long distance after I went to uni half way thru the relationship. I had heard rumours that a guy that lived in the same block as me at campus had a thing for me and I told everyone that 'he can try but there's no point, I'm not single'..... Well that changed didn't it!!!

[Marina]

hehe sheree sounds like what usually happens when couples go their seperate ways... i remember having ppl living with me on res and saying how they had bf/gf's back home and how much they missed them etc... there was always one of two things that happened... the relationship ended or the person didn't stay at uni and went home.

in answer to the thread topic though... i am not seeing anyone at the moment and haven't had a bf for over 2 years (its been great...lol).
bf 1. i met on the internet believe it or not and he was a kiwi... we met NY's 2000 (going on 2001) in brisbane and hit it off... the relationship lasted just over a year... long distance is what kept it together i think...lol.
bf 2. met him at a pub and he was friends with someone i knew and things went from there. that only lasted 2 months.
and sort of bf 3. he was friends with some of my friends and they sort of helped in setting us up. that didn't last long either... about 2 months as well.

I wish I was independent like you Marina. But all I craved during my younger years was to be loved by someone. Would rather be independent though. If OH & I split up now I would own really nothing except the clothes I wear and my computer LOL. At least when you are independent you already have your own stuff...

Edited to say: This post sounded bad - of course I love my partner!! I just feel I am too dependent sometimes.

[Marina]

hehe i know how you feel... i love the independence of it... i notice when i get in a relationship also that i become very dependent on the person... i think this is what annoys me most of all... i can't seem to help it no matter how much i tell myself not to do it. there are times though that i feel lonely... i used to live with a couple last year and that was interesting... its weird though because i always get 'when are you going to find yourself a nice man' and i always say i don't need one...lol. its weird because society is so strong about everyone having partners... i guess it is evolutionary... we are born to reproduce and need partners to do so.
my grandma reckons i will be... well what i like to call a bachelorette... i will live with my cats.

[Monty]

my grandma reckons i will be... well what i like to call a bachelorette... i will live with my cats. Hey there is nothing wrong with that! I love my furball and I miss him a lot and he misses me! And animals are always innocent so they can be more reliable ;)

[Jewly]

I'm with you Marina....

I left my son's father, when Zac was only 2 weeks old, after being with him for nearly 5 years. Since then I had long periods without dating, and totally loved it. I'm a very independant sort of person naturally and while I would sometimes like to have company, I'm quite happy on my own most of the time.

I have had a few long distance relationships too, one in Adelaide that lasted a bit over a year and one in Amsterdam, which lasted 3 years. I spent a month with him in Sept 03, travelling all around The Netherlands, and a few day trips into Germany, and Belgium, and we also spent 2 days in Paris. Even though we had a brilliant time together, I broke things off after coming back, because I decided not to move there and I was tired of the long distance relationship. Since then I haven't dated at all, and haven't really missed it either.

I have tried to date on and off over the years, but there just seems to be a lot of jerks out there, and most of the time I think I'm better off on my own. Anyway, most of my friends who are in relationships are miserable anyway, so I don't see the point in being with someone if you're so unhappy.

Well as I have told everyone already my hubby and I met online. This is my second marriage and I always thought that I would never ever marry a second time. My hubby is the most patient, kind, understanding not to mention gorgeous person on this earth (am I making you all sick yet?). I just wanted to let you now that there are good men out there and true love does exist. I guess maybe I was just one of the lucky ones. :)

[Leigh]

Very boring here, was a friend of a friend. I was more attracted to his car than him :Hehe: He grew on me tho LOL

[mel35]

I met my hubby at midnight new years Eve '92

I went to a party with a friend and didn't know anyone. my friend was enjoying the company of 3 guys (her boyfriend was away at the time). I wasn't impressed and all I wanted to do was go home.

Just before midnight I noticed this guy watching me, at midnight he came over and kissed me, we sat and talked till 5am. He told me he was going to marry me and I laughed at him telling him he was an idiot. I reluctantly gave him my phone no, he kept ringing me and I kept putting him off.

He was very persistant and eventually I gave in. We got on really well, and about a month later we moved in together.

We have been together for over 12 years, married for 10 years this November and have 5 kids.

I guess he was right LMAO

[Monty]

Mel that is a very sweet story :pam:

[Leigh]

What a nice story Mel.
My OH said the same thing to me after we were together about a month. I'm going to marry and have kids with you. I thought :O OMG what a freak and avoided him for awhile LOL.
Been together 8yrs in June, and he still hasn't married me! LMAO

[mel35]

I forgot to mention that he was totally NOT the type of guy I would go out with -
He had long hair, Tattoos and earrings and wore flannalette shirts :eww:

But I'm glad to say the Flannos and long hair are loooonnnnggg gone now LMAO




Alex maybe one day he'll be ready hehehehe :P

[Lav_angel]

Wow..that's a great story mel. :)

Well my story is a little ...how do you say it...um..."different". :blush:
We became penpals when I was about 13 years old. He lived in Bendigo, Vic and I lived on the Gold Coast, Qld.

We wrote for years....I never ever thought we'd actually meet or anything. But when I turned 19...he started ringing (and we were still writing to each other)...so we chat now and then on the phone for about a year. Already seen pics of each other...and I definately liked what I saw. lol :P Really we just became really good friends.

Then when I turned 20....he rings one night, says he wants to move to the Gold Coast, so he did. After awhile we end up dating and moving in together and now been together 8 years....engaged..still not married. lol Maybe oneday that day will come. I won't hold my breath though. haha

[mel35]

Awwww Angel thats a great story too- childhood sweethearts- sort of.


My cousin and her hubby have been best friends since primary school- neither of them ever went out with anybody else and they have been married for over 30 years.

[Lav_angel]

Wow...30 years. That's wonderful!! :D
My mum and dad were like that.....they never dated anyone else.....and were together over 40 years. Until dad passed.

[Leigh]

Wow Vi, how cool is that. I never had a penpal, how deprived ;( LOL
