I believe in love at first sight. I was in a bad marriage and swore I'd never marry again once I got divorced. But, then I eventually met my second husband and it was love at first sight for both of us. I had two very young kids, and he had never been married, but he wanted to get married. I loved him but was afraid of marriage and was afraid it would be hard for him to become an "instant father", so I kept putting him off. I got sick and had to go into the hospital because of a chronic illness that I have, and I ended up having surgery and started feeling even more afraid of marriage because I felt he had alot to deal with already, and I'd be adding an illness to the equation. He kept telling me it didn't matter, that he wanted to be with me no matter what. He ended up proposing to me while I was in the hospital, and we were married three months later and have been very happy for 20 years.
