Have things in your love life ever begun ass backwards, or topsy turvy?

Asked by Nomore_Tantrums (4456points) February 20th, 2022

I didn’t actually meet my wife, it was more like she met me. And I’ve had other relationships prior to my marriage which began in a strange way. Details below.

My wife was reminding me today that our 41st anniversary is coming up in June. Then she asked if I remember how we met. I said, Yes, I was in a crappy mood after work and stopped in for a beer. You were out with some friends and next thing I knew I had this perky and gorgeous woman in my lap telling me we were going to dance! But it all came out in the wash didn’t it? Absolutely true story folks. Last thing on my mind that night was meeting my future spouse. I was pissed at my boss, had just gotten off work, smelled funky and probably looked worse. Funny how things just happen. Any stories folks?

Also, and I think I mentioned this in another thread, a few years prior to meeting my wife, I was in a similar crappy mood one night and went to a club for a brew. This girl had been sitting at a table adjacent mine but I just plain didn’t notice her. Must have pissed her off because after about and hour of checking her compact mirror and playing with her hair ( she told me later) I still hadn’t noticed her. The band struck up a slow romantic song and she came to my table, stuck her hand in my face, and said “You arrogant son of a bitch you are going to take my hand and lead me to the floor. Or I am going to dump that pitcher of beer on your head!” That turned into a two year long relationship as well. Very strange how these things happen at times. And that was another case of an evening when I didn’t give a rats butt about trying to hit on a woman. So she hit on me it seems. LOL

Hmmm not really.

First ex I met at a club I was apart of. I got his number pretending it was in case he had questions about the club. I just wanted him to talk to me.

2nd ex I met online, he though I sold drugs. He is in prison now.

Last ex harassed me about watching a movie with him until I just gave in and said yes. Then he decided video games were more important than me and he’s gone now lol

I have temporarily given up and realized I need to stop talking to men for a while.

Maybe it might help to take a break. See what happens.

No. Been married for a while, we met and dated in normal fashion. No real exes to speak of.

Well, yes. I picked up a hitchhiker and married him.

I’ve tried different ways. Was with someone for 3yrs prior to marriage and it ended in divorce. Tried once marrying within a month and it lasted 4yrs.

I finally tried satisfying myself by meeting a man, taking him home and eating his head like a praying mantis. I liked this better.

I’m sure that Joss Whedon liked it too. ;)

Yes. With Rick and me it was POW! Instant visceral attraction.
Then he stood me up on our first date.
I spent the next 4 years telling him to F off.
But God, the man is nothing if not persistent so I finally gave up.
It’s 19 years now.

@FragileLayers Well did you dump a beer on his head before you ate it? Might have given it more flavor. : )
