Oh my! I love this thread! Its so sweet reading everyone's stories. Here is mine just to join in the fun. Its not quite so romantic since he was a butthead before I married him
My now husband and I worked together. He was a cook/manager. I was a server. He had red flags coming out the wazoo. He is a really good liar and had all the other girls at work wrapped around his little finger. It was ridiculous. His then girlfriend was super jealous and would come into our job and rant at her server (whenever it was a girl) that she'd better not be sleeping with her man and blah blah blah. It was pitiful really. I with my all understanding and non sarcastic manner was lucky enough to draw his girlfriends table one night. I had no interest in him at the time, he was way too sketchy
She proceeded to inform me that she would meet me in the parking lot when I got off shift and beat the tar out of me. I told her that anyone that needs to fight that hard for a man doesn't really have him anyways and that If he was that great then why was she wasting her time and mine trying to clean up after him? She was stunned. Left. I made him pay her bill
She broke up with him a week later (my fault? we'll never know)
Fast forward 6 months he cleaned up his act and I told him if he ever lied to me I'd walk faster than he could follow. I knew the first time that he told me the truth instead of lying to me, which would have been WAY easier since he was an idiot, that he was the one. He still hasn't lied to me and hopefully never will. He's my baby and I'll keep him. He's now a really good man and husband and hopefully a father in the future.
