What, like love big picture, love of our lives? Love of ECF moderators? Clarify please?
Thanks. Here's a quick one. I can do the whole "how we met" awkward story later.
I'm clumsy. When my sweetie and I were treading the line between friends and dating we used to take lots of walks together. I saw an ENORMOUS butterfly, pointed at it, and started to stumble. Hubs (who I have always, and probably always will out weighed) moved so he could catch me, I managed to dump us both to the ground in a very awkward sprawl of elbows and knees. . He got in a "Careful you don't fall... for me" sort of line line before we both dissolved into laughter at ourselves.
He STILL places a protective hand on me if there's a butterfly close. As if I'll suddenly just fall over.

My very first date with Mike was New Years Eve. We were going to a party at a friends house. He came by to get me and we sat in the family room to have a drink before we left. Some kid set off a bottle rocket right outside the window.
Mike grabbed me and threw me to the carpet and fell on top of me covering my head with his arms.
He pulled me back to my feet and said he should go back to the base.
He hadn't gotten over Viet Nam yet. He didn't for many years.
I decided I would always be safe with him around. So I married him.

I found the man who annoys me the least....and I married him!
J/K - I waited over 40 years to find a man like mine and I'm never letting go. He doesn't complete me, he complements me. IOW, I can be whole with or without him, something I was never free to do with anyone else.
I wish this kind of love for every woman out there!!

I met Brian when I was 17 and had a HUGE 'Daddy Crush' on him. The first time he kissed me, I ended up in tears when I went home..I hadn't thought of HIM 'like that'. BUT, when I DID..wow! And he liked ME!! Weird!
He's VERY funny, I've YET to meet someone that DOESN'T like him, he's handsome
, he's smoother than cat crap on linoleum, he doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't do drugs, he doesn't have a cheating bone in his body and he's a GREAT father and husband.
What's not to love?
We've been together for 23 years and married for 19!!
My biggest fear is when he's no longer with us. As most of you know, he turned 72 on June 3rd. My father passed away when he was 74, unexpectedly. He's VERY much a realist about this, but I'm not, I'm sorry to say. Brian's ALWAYS been my HERO and he always WILL be.

You all had a happier beginning. The first time I saw RW was right after walking into where we worked. He was standing a few feet back from the isle I was walking down. I looked over to see this guy give me that look---you know the one where the guy is mentally undressing you. He looked from my head to my toes, and then back up. I felt like walking over and slapping the dirty ole mans face.
After that he went to great efforts to meet me. I went to great efforts to avoid him.
One night a friend and I were out cruising and my friend spotted this guy in a Vet. She just had to meet him, so we pulled into Steak N Shake and parked right by the Vet.
The driver of the Vet ended up being a jerk and I ended up meeting RW (who was sitting in the passenger seat) for the first time.
He turned out to be a sweetie. The best thing about our relationship is that we knew from the start that we were married but not chained together.
There are many times he goes and does his thing and the same for me. We can do this because we trust the other not to do anything to harm what we have. Ill probably not ever get married again because Id never find anyone like him.
MaryKay: I understand about the Vietnam thing. RW still has nightmares

We're the same way JJ, OBVIOUSLY, we're not going to have all the same interests. So, nothing wrong with going our separate ways for the day.
Couples who feel they HAVE to staple themselves together 24/7 usually don't last for too long, I've found.

I always wondered what the survival rate was---as in did one kill the other.
I love that little purple face.
Nice thread- but i don't have a love story with a happy ending for it. (but I'm independent and happy anyway )

Mike worked horrible long hours in the military and then in the private sector. I had a business which I worked long hours and so we weren't hand in hand all day. I am a night owl he is early to bed, early to rise.
I have always said we made it this far because we don't see each other a lot! Now that he is retired..it's been more challenging to avoid each other..lol
See he is a clicker..you know the type, he must click on the remote constantly..I can't stand it! He loves outdoors, I can't be in the heat. I love the computer, he hates it. So I have the smoke free family/computer room, he has the bedroom and kitchen and living room.
We meet at the door to go to the store or out. We meet at the dinner table and kitchen, and on the porch.
I could never get married again, I doubt I could get another one trained well enough to separate our lives or join them so perfectly!

I guess people would see us as "joined at the hip" because we're together a lot. Thing is...we share most of our likes and hobbies; concerts, theme parks, museums, wineries etc. So we both go together alone or together as part of a group.
I think people think we're clingy, but really, we're just a lot alike. Trust me, if McCartney was playing here again and he couldn't go, I'd definitely be there without him, lol!

MaryKay, I swear, we are sooo alike. I was the night owl too.
Before RW was disabled, he'd awake alert. It takes me at least an hour before I want to talk to another human being!!!
As we get older, we are getting more alike though, he is sleeping later and I'm going to bed before 4 AM and getting up before eleven. A lot of that is because his pain level has increased over the years and so has the meds he takes and I have to get up earlier to get things done.
Edit: One more thing. I HATE THE OUTDOORS except for being out there and in the pool.

There's a big dif between clingy and simply liking each others company. I think the couples who cant (for whatever reasons) do anything without the other and can have no personal activities are kinda scary.
When you throw the word 'Can't" in there..it becomes a matter of possestion. Like in: you do NOTHING without me!..That scares me to death!
But those who just like to be in each other's company to do things are wonderful! Mike and I can sit reading in the same room and feel like we are doing somthing together.

I've seen too many couples that mistake possessiveness for love. Many of our myths about 'love' are actually about possessiveness and the tv promotes a lot of nonsense too.
