Friday evening GTKY

joyfullyfound · August 2013

Just for fun, because DH and I were discussing it today:

Where do you think you'd be today if you had never met your DH? How would your life be different? And where would he be now if he had never met you ?

DH may still be partying like it is 1999.

I am not sure where I'd be. Dating a loser... probably would have went back to school.....

I'm 98% sure I'd have just finished my masters in nursing, living in Edinburgh, Scotland. That was the plan anyway... And from there I planned on working off student loans for a few years, before figuring out how to use my skills in the 3rd world. If I didn't meet a handsome Scottish laddie first, of course

I asked DH today where he'd be now if he hadn't met me. He thinks he would have ended up marrying the girl he was dating when we met, and then be pretty much doing what we're doing now, only with her. He made sure he said he'd only be half as happy though, haha.

I have no idea.

Considering our past relationships: I might be married to or dating somebody no good. I am completely different from all of DH's exs, they were all very intelligent and successful women...I am well..me. He had nothing in common with them though and it never ended well. He may or may not have been better off then I would have been. He is really the only person that really "gets" me.

Our careers: I probably would still be working with animals, maybe in an emergency clinic. DH might live in another state, maybe in Nevada doing custom airbrush work.

My H would probably still be in the Marines- probably a lifer- if I consider he deployed when/where he did because of our marriage and therefore got injured in Iraq because of our marriage (if he'd be single he would have be transferred elsewhere and deployed with a different unit... yikes I don't know if this is going good places!)

I would probably have gone to grad school, gotten my Masters in Nursing and be living in the DC area where most of my college friends settled.

I'm pretty sure I would have married someone else and wouldn't be as happy considering I made a choice to keep going with MH early on when someone else was in the picture. Although I do often wonder exactly how that would have played out. But I really don't think I would be as happy.

I don't really know other than that.

I have no idea about MH. I'll have to ask him what he thinks!

Stefibeth · August 2013

LOL, I love that the way you imagine your H out of the picture is by being eaten by a shark, Hav. Random!

I'd be married to the guy I was dating before him. We'd have more money but only because we wouldn't have kids, ever. We'd do a lot of traveling but I think I would be miserable. DH claims he would be living the single life and loving it, but I think he would have married this girl who had a thing for him around the time I met DH. She was nice, so they'd probably be happy. But not as happy as he is with me! :P

I think if I hadn't met DH... I would be a lot more of a "wild" girl than I am now. I am not sure if I'd be married. I probably would have moved away to go to college. Honestly, I wasn't headed down a great path and met him when I became a Christian and he definitely helped me settle down. He is super stable and was an amazing best friend during a difficult phase when we first met.

DH would probably have gone into the military. We met really, really young and got married at 20, so it would be a lot different if we hadn't met when we did. DH was also not very driven before meeting me (his mom was clueless when it came to educational opportunities), and I pushed him to start college classes instead of sticking around and let his mom ruin his future educational choices/opportunities (which has happened now with his younger brothers).

Sidenote... when now MIL met my mom for the first time at church (and DH and I had just started getting to know one another), her first words were "Just so you know, my son and your daughter will never be together... but I'd love for your family to come over for dinner!" Our whole relationship until marriage was her trying to break us up. Our wedding day was a lovely "eff you" moment.

New here...

I'd be living in Florida (instead of NC) near my parents working in finance and being a beach bum. Probably going back to school for something in healthcare. DH would have never left Pennsylvania and would still be a pharmacist.

We live outside of Charlotte too!!!!!!!

pastalady · August 2013

I think I would be living with my ex, not married, no kids. He actually tracked me down on facebook and came to my business at the time. He had been in and out of rehab for a severe coke addiction for years. Lost his pilot license, just bad news lol! He seemed to think he would have been better off if I had stayed lol! I don't know about DH. He would probably be playing video games, working and that's about it lol! He maybe would have married his ex. But we were meant to be together so I can't imagine it any other way!

blondegirl22 · August 2013

I would be living in a warm beach town somewhere.. Who knows for work. I would guess he may still be single..?? No clue. Lol

alake · August 2013

I would be home in Canada, probably helping my dad run his trucking/ oil company. He still would love for me to take over the day to day operations. Before I started working as a sports agent (What I did before I became a SAHM), I drove an oil tanker.
I have known DH since kindergarten. We went to the same elementary school.

notkateanymore · August 2013

Honestly I've really never thought about it. We'll be married for 10 years at the end of the month and it just feels like this is how my life should have gone.

jensriot · August 2013

It's so hard to say, that was 15 years ago. I probably would have taken the job offer I got in San Francisco instead of moving to TX, gone to grad school, maybe met someone at work. I didn't want to have kids until closer to 30 even back then, so that may have stayed the same.

I'm not sure for DH. He probably would've moved back to Florida or the Northeast for work and to closer to his siblings. He'd be married with a couple of kids. It's hard to see him any other way.
