I had a similar conversation a couple of months ago. I was out with a friend who was on a dance team with STBXW. She was at the wedding and they were taking bets on how long we'd last. She said no one thought we'd make it 10 years. She said STBXW is just so closed-off to the world and I'm the exact opposite so they couldn't understand how we got together in the first place.
Looking back, I saw some warning signals, but I was just so infatuated I figured I could make it work.
