Married women: How did you meet your husband?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been married once, and I am now divorced. I've never really dated and I'm really wondering how/where other people have managed this now that I'm looking again. Of course people keep telling me the ever helpful "get out there" but I'm "out there" as far as I can tell.

So just for informational purposes (and to show how it CAN be done), how did you meet your husband?

For what it's worth, my EX husband and I were introduced by my landlord at the time, who later was revealed to be evil...

I'm divorced now too, but I met my ex in college. It was summer semester and we were taking a social science elective on the History of Rock 'n Roll.

I met my husband Jimmy twelve years ago. We both worked at the same furniture factory. He and I are total opposites. We got married less than a year after we met. We have three children together. Two of them appear to be neurotypical like him, but our middle child hardly ever talks and seems to be in her own fantasy world much of the time. She is perfectly happy being alone. Yet, she's three, and most girls at three seem to be that way.

We both like role-playing games (not the sex kind) and had been in a group together. Later, we met again both first-years in CS. We became closer and closer friends over almost 2 years before we started anything.

If I were to look for a new husband, I would check out my friends and colleagues. Although, on a second thought, most of my colleagues are technically subordinate to me, so strike that.

We met online on a internet forum. But in one of my autism groups, one of the aspies wanted to know where I met my husband and I told her I didn't remember the place because it was so long ago and I quit going there.

I wasn't going to tell her it was at DailyDiapers and face the embarrassment and expose my fetish.

All I did there was post a thread asking if anyone is in my area and who wants to hang out. Then I got a PM from my husband and we talked on IM for three weeks before meeting at Starbucks coffee. For a while I kept thinking we met from a dating site, DiaperMates but he kept reminding me it was DailyDiapers and I go "oh right." Yeah he has that fetish too but his is different than mine. It's also like a spectrum because everyone with it isn't the same and they all enjoy it differently.

i apologize for sounding like a broken record, because i know i've spoken overmuch about how my husband and i met. i'll tell the story in a condensed manner so as not to be boring.

we met through friends. i asked about him, and he asked about me. i had to wait until he was single before i made my move. i spotted him and decided that i must be with him somehow, no matter what.

i didn't want to scare him away so i kept my distance at first, but he was in my peripheral vision. our friends arranged to get us in the same room a couple of times for different events, but he was still attached to another girl so i didn't get to act on my feelings for several months. i really hardly talked to him directly until the night we finally hooked up.

i was resigned to the idea that it may be a one-night-stand, but it didn't end up that way, thankfully. we've been together over 20 years (16 years married).

if i had to meet someone in the modern day, i would definitely use internet dating because it would allow me to avoid some of the social difficulties inherent in the early phases of dating and meeting people. the in-person dating pool can also be frightfully small in my age range.

We both happened to visit a girl we both liked. We both preferred each other over her.

I met mine at a get together with friends (his friend was dating my friend - now married) to watch TV. His friend told him I thought he was cute, and my friend told me he thought I was cute. So we started talking on the phone and eventually we got it together enough to become an item. It took a few months though.

I met my husband at the Tokyo H3 a running/drinking club

Married 8 years together 10 years

Two kids

He is a Geek too!

You need to connect with people with similar interests either on the internet or in other places you like to hangout

Hope this helps

we met on world of warcraft.
How ridiculous is that.
But i notice i'm not alone here, haha! 2 geeks made for each other.... I'd say online non dating places are your best bet. The dating ones feel sort of fake and unsafe to me, when you meet by accident while slaying boars ( yep.) you've got an amusing story to tell your grandchildren....

I met my husband at a martial arts class that a friend brought me along to. Nothing happened for the first 3 months until the whole class went out for drinks after one training session and we got talking, and didn't stop talking the whole night. We arranged to hang out together that weekend after a group socialising thing and he pretty much never left after that.

My husband was the library monitor in high school. I was the geek who read the entire collection. We started hanging out when we both got dumped by others at the same time.

I ran a lonely hearts ad in the back of Philadelphia magazine. His reply was the ONLY sane one along with one from a 70 year old man. The rest were SO sick. Being bi-racial and aspie made things VERY difficult. I actually liked the elder man a bit better but I didn't want to end up a young widow. I wanted a child and couldn't imagine the risk of having one with a man who was so old and retired already. I've been happily married for almost 20 years...but that doesn't mean we don't fight.

I met my husband in EverQuest. A RL friend of mine suggested I team with him, since we were the same level. We "clicked" right away. We chatted IG, then started chatting about RL IG, then exchanged IMs. We were best friends for two years, confided in each other about everything. I comforted him through a rough breakup. It was a while after that, that he confessed he'd had romantic feelings for me for a while. At first I was angry; I refused to speak to him for weeks. Then, when I calmed down, I realized I had feelings for him, too -- but I was engaged to someone else. Then followed a long period of emotional turmoil, which ended with me calling off the engagement, my ex-fiance getting angry and threatening to break up, and me saying, "Okay!" to the threat. A few months after that, my husband asked me if I thought I could make a committment to him, without it being rebound and I said I could. We dated LD for ayea,tr hten moved in together. We were together 4 years when he proposed, and engaged for 15 months, We've now been married almost 3.5 years.

i met my husband online. i (nt girl) was an overachieving workaholic who didn't have the time to get out a great deal and he was relatively reclusive due to geography and social issues. i'm not sure how else we would've met considering.
