How I Met My Ex-Husband, Bruce

Years back, I had a best friend by the name of Diane. We had a lot of fun together, kept each other laughing about everything! While in high school, her family moved to Bay City, Michigan. This was tough, not being able to kid around in the hallways each day in school. Diane called and asked if I could drive to Bay City and visit for a weekend. Little did I realize, that she'd introduce me to Bruce, who eventually became my husband. When I first met Bruce, he was mourning and whining because he girlfriend Dinah had just dumped him. He talked incessantly about how upset he was about this incident. I had little hope of ever becoming his good friend. About a year later, Diane drove to East Tawas for a visit and brought Bruce and his brother Dave along. After this happened, Bruce and I soon became a boyfriend/girlfriend statistic. My senior year, Bruce bought me a pearl ring, which was one step from being engaged. We eventually did tie the knot and as a married couple, we had two lovely children together.

We went together for about two years. He was a fun person to be around, until he drank.

That is a very nice story and how lucky you were to marry him and have two children. Too bad things did not work out between you two. At least you found someone else who could really make you happy,

I was broken hearted and never had plans to ever marry again. Jay had a similar first marriage, he never wanted to remarry. We were blinded by love!

You never know when something unexpected may come up. I met my previous long-term boyfriend at the start of term in college. After the official group photo, he appeared beside me and said 'I dyed my shoes black but they came out purple'

Actually, Bruce was a lot of fun. He liked jumping on trampolines and he taught me how, also. I got pretty good at it! Swimming, he was a bit shy of being a professional. Myself, I still can't swim!

@kobesbuddy I imagine that it is very hard when you are so young, I was 20 when I got married.

Good to look back on our lives and reminisce the good times and turn of events that led to one thing after another.

We actually didn't stay married, his drinking issues destroyed our life together.

We can meet our spouses in so many different ways. I met Vince when I joined the brass band in our town.
