How did you meet your husband or significant other?

After a little argument with my husband, and then coming to the realization that it was a very dumb argument and that he was 100% right, I may be willing to admit I let my hormones get the best of me. He called me on my lunch break and apologized for something he didn't do, told me he loved me very much, and planned date night. I'm so very blessed to have a husband who is patient and ignores my rampages. He even lets me be mad for awhile before trying to make up 
So it got me thinking, I see a lot of posts about frustration with husbands and SO's, maybe it would do some good to remember the good times... you know... the times before our feet began to swell and our bellies began to expand... and reflect on those times to remind us why we love those crazy men to begin with.
How did you meet your husband or SO?
My mom dared me to join this dating website... "Farmers Only"... She saw the commercial on TV and said I needed a good country boy. I live in a small town and besides a walmart, church, and a few of the bars that are still left, its pretty much impossible to meet someone. I said what the heck. She made a bet that by Saturday (I joined on a Thursday) I would have a date. I got a lot of flirts: I think your tractor is sexy, howdy, and wanna park in a hayfield (that one was an original from a guy with the profile name "Bubba" somewhere in West Texas). I got a few messages from guys who lived far off, and then I got a lot of creepers who just looked over my profile a lot. Finally Saturday night I decided to delete my profile because this so wasn't me... and I had one unread message. Turned out to be the sweetest email ever from the man who I call husband now We talked all weekend. I found out he lived an hour away and we made arrangements to meet that Monday night. Spent every chance we could get together after that. One and a half months later I was engaged and five months later married! We of course give my mom all credit and have been married 8 months this August. Its been a whirlwind but I couldn't see spending my life with anyone else or even wanting to for that matter. He was/is everything I hoped, dreamed, and prayed for! Now we are expecting our miracle baby boy Oct 31st and we're ecstatic about the journey we are on together... you know... despite the tiny fusses that I start and he patches up
Re: How did you meet your husband or significant other?
My hubby and I met in high school. I was 14 years old and kept seeing this very tall very good looking guy. We spoke very little a couple times in a group of mutual friends. Told a good friend about this guy pointed him out and she had some classes with him. She ended up telling him she had a good friend who thought he was cute. .. He wrote me this sweet note and told her to give it to me. Then he found me in the halls one day walked me to my bus and asked for my phone number. We married less than 3 months after I graduated and I love him more with each passing year. Now we are due with baby #3 on October 20th!
When I first read your title I read it as "how did you meet your husband’s significant other?" I was really confused at first ha-ha. I'm glad you found love on Farmers Only, we see those commercials all the time and my husband asks if that’s what country girls really look like. I'm from a small town and he is from Nebraska's largest city.
My husband and I met through a mutual friend. I had just broken off an engagement two weeks before I met him and my best friend was a ball babe for an indoor semi pro football team who got free tickets to their games every Friday night. She gave me and one of our other coworkers a ticket to the game and then gave my husband and his best friend the other two tickets. We were sat together and it was actually his friend who asked for my phone number. We were supposed to meet up as a group a few weeks later at my family cabin.
The following week my husband called and asked me on a date for that evening (he didn't text \:D/). We became an official couple two weeks later and have been inseparable since. We've been together 7 years now. I believe in things happen for a reason.
mrsdhouse89 I had to make sure that the title didn't read that! I wouldn't put it past me to write something like that today! Been a looong week. TGIF
That night he asked me to go to a baseball game with him on Sunday and I about swooned - it was the first time a guy had ever straight up asked me on a date and I was just giddy! That was 6 years ago last month...we'll be married for 3 in September and will be first time parents in October!
Anyways, I met my wonderful husband online - Match.com! We instantly connected and knew from the start we were meant for each other! I felt so comfortable with him, like I could be my true self (and be with him how I was just on my own). Everyone around us noticed it to and would comment about how it seemed like we had been together a long time! We got engaged after 8 months of dating. Married a year later and pregnant within a month of the wedding.
He makes me laugh and we just enjoy spending time together, doing anything! He is definitely the calm to my storm. I appreciate his laid back attitude and patience. And it's definitely come in handy with the pregnancy hormones! I love that he is so excited to be a dad! Everyday I watch him do things that make me so excited to see him in action and the wonderful day I know he will be!
I never made it, my friend got into a huge fight with her bf and I sat at her house while they fought. So we texted back and forth. Then talked for hours every night. By the weekend we'd had three dates. That was 6 years ago. We have some rough patches but I love him for the right reasons.
I kept seeing commercials for it and pushed it to the back of my mind. Days and months went by and I still kept seeing the commercials. Then at 4am I got a phone call, my friend urged me that I needed to join and that she couldn't sleep until I look at it. I was hesitant so I went out to the kitchen to make some tea, my mother ended up coming out and I told her. Then my own mother said she'd been thinking the same thing.... Long story short I met my husband and knew he was the one. We've been happily married for over 2 years now!
When we were 12 he was my "boyfriend" my best friend was dating one of his friends so we were always hanging out. Of course it didn't last since we were only 12! My best friend and him lived on the same street so they always remained friends.
As teenagers my best friend started dating his best friend and they were married and are still together. I was in a relationship and had two daughters but things didn't work out and I left him. My SO married another girl, had two daughters and was divorced 7 years ago. When he was going through the divorce my BF husband kept telling us how great we were for each other so my SO asked me out and we have been together ever since! I tell him all the time I was the first girl and the last girl he will kiss!
Match.com here too! 2nd marriage for both of us but my goodness what an amazing marriage it has been :x My sister had been bugging me to try match for awhile. I kept saying she was crazy! Finally I set up an account and shortly after I started talking to my soon to be love. We emailed, IM'd, txt'd, talked on the phone and had our first date one month later. I kid you not, the minute I saw him in person it was love at first sight. We definitely had some family giving us the side-eye on this but we started talking in January and I was moved in by December! It worked for us, 7 years later and we are still madly in love and so very excited to meet our newest LO
I met my husband because I lived with him. Kind of funny how that started. After college, I was traveling and teaching English over seas. I could only stay for 6 months at a time. When I got back, I was looking for a temporary place to stay for 2 months while I reapplied for my visa to return. I ended up staying with a friend and her family. They had a small suite/apartment in their basement that I rented. I didn't have a car, so I was at the house a lot with my friend and ended up getting to know her family. I didn't get my visa to return overseas, so I continued staying at their house. Whenever I was with my friend and her family, her brother, who lived in an apartment above their garage, came over as well. I didn't know this at the time, but he rarely came to hang out with his family until I started to hang out with them. A few months later, I realized how much I liked him!
My cousin met him on a video chat site called stikam. I met my him through my cousin at a car show 3 years before we started dating. We randomly started talking after I met up with him at the same car show 3 years later.
Anyways I was trying to get back on my feet and was working at a hardware store. This attractive guy always would come through my line and smile be very polite and I thought it was super cute... Turns out he worked with my brother and he knew who I was and that's why he came through my line instead of anyone else's... I eventually found out he was super close to my brother (best work friends)
My brother knew I was in need of a nice stable guy... Asked me to "hang out" with his buddy... I told him his buddy would have to make the first move… aka ask me out old fashioned style
A couple days later I get a phone call from my now hubby asking for my help because my brother and had a little too much to drink... I met up with them and helped him take care of my brother ... My drunken brother was a great ice breaker "why don't you just ask her out already man, you purposely wait in her long lines at the hardware store" and then after that we were inseparable... He's my best friend and he's super close with my family. Brother was best-man in our wedding and loves taking the credit for our relationship. Together 5 years married 4, 1st baby :-)
I'm sure almost everyone on here has great baby daddy's, but when your in a good place sometimes it feels like you are bragging if you talk about how your husband said or did something sweet for you--that or it is the norm, so while you still appreciate your man, you don't feel compelled to write about it on the bump.
Just starting his career. I was career driven and 2 years later when I was offered a job in Wisconsin I took that and moved there. We continued to do long distance seeing eachother monthly or so. About 9 months
After that he proposed, since neither of us were ready to make a big move without some sort of commitment. He was working on a transfer with his company which took awhile, but it pulled through right in time and we found out 2 months before our wedding he would be moving to WI. So he finished out his current roll, we got married in May after 4 years long distance dating and then he was able to move up in June. Bc he also got promoted in the process he had to travel and train weekly out of state so the 1st year we were married he was only home on the weekends. While it was sooo hard, we knew what we wanted and it actually eased us into married life and living together. 1 year into marriage he was done traveling and we bought a house. 2 years later we got a puppy.. And then another one. Here we are 3 years later still loving our life and expecting our first little one. There was never a hard adjustment period for us, and we just really fell into life together. Maybe bc we learned and had to rely on communication and no jealousy from the beginning. While it was super hard and sad at time doing long distance I wouldn't trade our story for the world as who knows where we would be now. To anyone who believes in love, where there is will there is a way!
