INTRODUCING ME TO YOU!
I never thought that I would fall in love and I definitely never really thought about the possibility of marriage until I met my husband. I grew up in a family that was plagued with divorce and I never thought that marriage would be something that I would ever (...EVER....) consider. When I watch those wedding shows on TV there are always women who say,
"I have been planning my wedding since I was four-years-old". What? How is that possible? I guess my perception of marriage at an early age was a bit misconstrued, LOL! I must say that in the past, a defense mechanism that I used in order to keep myself emotionally detached would be to not let anybody into my heart, which pretty much equals "self-sabotaging" behavior . I had serious trust issues and I did not have the energy to continuously play an "investigator" while in my past relationships. So, needless to say, I was always the one who made the choice to end the relationship, even based on inconclusive evidence at times. I was, how can I put it, TERRIFIED of commitment. You are probably wondering at this point, what does this have to do with anything? Well, It has everything to do with the story of how I fell in love when I was not even looking. I should also say it was more out of me trying to disprove the claims of a commercial from a popular dating site. As you can probably tell by now, I was the one who was proved to be in for an awakening.
My husband that I mentioned earlier comes from a culture that believes in the saying "Till death do us part!" and I know that he really loves me for who I am. He has even driven 6 hours to comfort me when I was upset about something. Even I would not have done that for me. I will discuss how we met each other in more detail a little later......We are from two different countries as I stated earlier and the things that some people may take for granted: such as being able to work, making purchases and living together comfortably all of a sudden seems so hard. "Love conquers all right"? For me, personally, it does but I would love to her your stories as well as your comments so please do share!
