How did you meet your spouse/significant other (current or previous)?

I was still married to my abusive husband when I met my current husband. He had just gotten divorced and had moved in with his sister. S sister lived just up the street from me.

He was a carpenter so we hired him to do some work for us. He started hanging around with his sister a lot and noticed the abuse that was going on in my house. We started talking about what was going on and he was there for me when I needed someone and we became friends.

He made me realize that I was pretty, smart, and a great person to be around. Without him I don't know if I would have had the strength or the courage to leave. A year and one month after I left my husband we were married.

I will try to make this as short as I can, given it has taken place over the past 25 years. My spouse and I met officially at work. But, there was a history we had no idea existed.

Once we met, we became friends. We would hang out, with our exes, and go to the club or to dinner. One night we had all met and were having drinks.

I invited my cousin along to hang out. As soon as my cousin walked up to the table, there was an explosion of laughter and my spouse and my cousin hugged. I was of course thrown back, as I hadn't even introduced them yet.

They had been childhood best friends. After talking we realized that many of the activities that I spent with my cousin, my spouse had also attended. Try as we might we couldn't put a finger on any one time we would have recognized one another.

Time went on, and we started dating. It was my turn to drive, and picked my spouse up at their mother's house. When I walked in the living room, I recognized my now mother in law instantly.

We had worked together a few years ago. We weren't in the same department, but we knew of each other. I left that building and had been promoted and transfered, 2 weeks before my spouse came home from college and started working along side their mother.It wasn't until almost 2 years later, we would actually meet.

We unknowingly crossed paths for almost 25 years. But some things are just worth waiting for.

My husband and I met at the airport. It was cold, and I had just come from someplace warm. I was getting to the point where I didn't care how embarassing it was, I needed to borrow someone's coat to warm up.

I saw him there, in his down jacket, and knew he would let me borrow it. It turned out we were on the same flight. He switched seats to sit next to me so he could get his coat back.

He was often deployed in the US Navy and enjoyed receiving mail, so we exchanged addresses and became pen pals. We didn't have our first date until a year later, when I no longer had a boyfriend. A year after that, we were married.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
