I met my H without even looking. A friend of his was temping at the company I was working for at the time. His friend noticed in my cube that I had pics of bands up (Motley Crue etc., yes, I am a total 80's metal rocker chick!) He said you should come see my band practice one night. I said sure. So I did. They weren't that great, but I've always been connected to the biz side of the industry in some way or another as a hobby. (and no not as a groupie!)
The guitar player was smokin' hot! I tried to get his attention but to no avail. I decided that he must be gay because he never was with any girls. The guy who temped at my office said that my H was interested in a gf of mine but I knew she wasn't interested in him in the very least. My H was the drummer in the band. He and I started to hang out and at some point we started dating. That was back in 1991. 3 years later he asked me to marry him at our town beach overlooking the water. I had no idea he was planning this and it was the best day of my life next to my wedding day.
Like you said grr, so much promise we had and now to be in this sitch 20 yrs later with a pending D is just really sad. We all never thought we'd be in this sitch at this stage of our lives. But we are and we band together to be better every day and still hope we can salvage something with our S.
Hugs to all my BITS today. I know it's going to be a hard day for all of us LBS's.
