Married my high school sweetheart. Had one beautiful daughter... ultimately that marriage went down in flames. She found herself a boyfriend and wanted out. 9 years of my life, had it not been for my daughter this would have been a total waste.
Met my wife at work... been married for almost 20 years. She is NOTHING like me. I'm a total nerd, introverted, like sci-fi, video games and pinball. She is a total extrovert, supportive and kind to everyone. It works, for whatever reason it just works great. She understands my need to tinker and my crazy pinball hobby. She has helped me to be more social and empathetic.
We now have 5 grandkids in our blended family. We seem to be perfect for each other. I'm the "she married him?" guy and I consider myself lucky.
