how did you get together with...

I met Joe on a dating website type thing, haha. We planned to meet one night and smoke a nice blunt (we were both potheads so it was the perfect way to "break the ice"). When we met, I was instantly drawn to him. There was something about him that just blew my mind...I dunno. So, I stayed the night and moved in with him practically right away. Partially, to get out of my parents house and become miss independent :) Turns out, we knew some of the same people (his ex gf was dating my ex bf...weird). A year after we got together, I got pregnant and the rest is history. We've been together for almost 3 years now and it has been quite an experience.

Neeeext...

I met my partner when I was 15, he was in my brothers room taking bong hits, my friend and I were stoked he had brought home a cute guy. We ended up knowing allot of the same people. I always thought he was totally hot, but we never got together.

Fast forward 3 years and I was a single mama to my one year old son, Cyrus. We moved out of my parents house into our first apartment. Just happened to be in the same neighborhood as Trydyn (SO). One day I walked over to his house with little Cyrus in the stroller and told him I was living in the same area now. So we started hanging out. Then I started hearing from all my friends "trydyn thinks your hot!". So the next time he came over, after Cyrus was asleep, I asked him what was up. He confirmed that he was into me and I jumped his bones! I hadn't had sex in 18 months and really didn't feel like waiting any longer, we had sex for the first time 5 minutes after our first kiss! It's been 8 years and we have 2 more babies.

How funny that so far all our stories started with smoking weed!

I met my son's dad while we worked together. This was right after I finished school. I dated him briefly, dumped him for a jerk who I lived with for a few years, and then we got back together shortly thereafter. I got a job out of town and we got married just before the move. Had kid. Now we're divorcing.

I met my BD in high school. He was two years older then me. I was head over heels with him from the start, and he was my first real love. He asked me out and I of course said yes because I had been crushing on him forever! It didnt work out quite as planned, but I learned a lot from him about what I deserve in relationships.

I met mike my freshman year in college. he was in my orintation group. i was in love from the second we met. but we were both dating other people. so it was a year before we actually got together. i invited him over to see my apt via IM and he came over and never left lol. 3 months later i was pregnant...

i met my bd because he lived in the same apartment building as i did, and since he lived on the main floor i could always smell weed outside his door. one night i ran outta herb at a crucial moment, so i went down to ask them for a dime bag. him and his roomies became good friends with me and mine, and we hung out all summer. shortly before i left to move back to my hometown to start nursing school, he confided in me (we were best friends) that he was a virgin and he wanted to lose his virginity with me. i remember laughing. fast forward to a very drunk and drugged up going away party, and i told him i'd give him a go. it was allergy season, and antihistamines interfere with the birth control pill. we stayed together for about a year or so after that, during my pregnancy and my sons early infancy, and it was fucking hell. we're heading back to court this spring.

my current partner, i knew for about 10 years before we started dating. he was so cool and slick and hot and omg i wanted him, but he had this long term gf for forever, and then once they broke up he went backpacking overseas for a year. when he came back, we hooked up at this outdoor rave/festival. it was cold and raining and i didn't bring a tent, so i asked if i could go get warm in his. i swear it wasn't a pickup line, but we got pretty cozy. i made him chase me for about 3-4 months after that to make sure he didn't just want to get laid, and i haven't looked back since. he's absolutely incredible.

I met my boyfriend when I moved into the apartment above his as temporary housing last summer. there was two apartments and the basement was a practice space for his band and a couple of others/ recording studio/ basement show location.

thing was, I was working 6 am till two every day, and up all night writing, so I would sleep a few hours in the afternoon every day so I wouldn't die. that is, I would try to sleep, but the bands generally chose the exact moment I went to sleep to start practicing. so i yelled at them constantly and threw shoes down the stairs at the basement door. especially because their band sucked then. (I hadn't known about the bands there before I moved in, so i think i wasn't being a total jerk.) they all called me the mean writer girl.

I thought my boyfriend was cute, so one night all of the house kids were out drinking at the bar, and i created a party out at the lake just to hang out with him. we all got wasted and went skinnydipping and slept on the beach. a week later he left flowers under the windshield wiper of my car.

my ex has a mental disease and some serious problems. on my birthday the ex threatened to kill me and though new boy wasn't my boyfriend yet, he still went with me to notify the police and stayed up with me all night, platonically, in the living room because I was afraid to go to sleep in case the ex showed up, even though there was a cop car outside.

a week after that he spent the night upstairs at my place for real, and I started looking for another apartment. :)

now the band is really good and they are leaving all summer for tour, and I am pretty sad.

but after tour we're starting the process of moving to new mexico together so I can go to grad school. I'm in lurve.

i met the gf on the net. hehe.

gay.com to be exact. i was in a room and a she saw my pic and told a mutual friend to hook us up. so we talked for a little bit (me talking, her "lol" and silence! she said she was really nervous. heh) and she asked for my digits. i told her i have a three chat rule before i give out my number...so she entered and exited the room three times to get it.

and we talked for hours, about everything and nothing. and then i blew her off for a few weeks because i didn't want a long distance thing. then she started driving out here- without knowing where i lived or my last name- hoping eventually i would pick up the phone. but then she turned back. and then i called her to see how she was, and i cut the bs and we've been together ever since. a little over a year. :D

lots of marijuana induced relationships, huh? :)

I've told this story here before, but I met my babydaddy in the high school cafeteria, junior year. I was wearing a tight black shirt, a short black patent leather skirt, black fishnets, knee high black motor cycle boots, and lots of black eyeliner, and he came up and said, "Hello, my name is Joseph Vato (for real) Garcia. I really like your outfit. Can I borrow it sometime?" I said yes, and I thought he was cute, feminine and gothy, which were my qualifications for boys then.
The next day I was in the lunch line and I was wearing a Catholic school girl outfit and a "Hello my name is..." nametag that said "Precious Whore." (I'm telling you girls, I was SOOO cool in high school, heh.) He get all excited at the NIN reference since that's his favorite. (Seriously, in every baby picture of him with Dylan, Joey has on a nine inch nails t shirt). So we started hanging out, I fucked him the first time on Nov 25, got my first positive pregnancy test on Jan 1. (It was planned!? WTF?!) Now he's like another brother, right down to the way he bugs me and the bond between us, and it would be impossible to convince me we'd ever slept together if it weren't for the kid.

The Alli story is much better, and some of you saw it unfold. I met Alli when I was about four months pregnant when she was commenting on my angelfire teen pregnancy site. she told me i was smart and stuff and we started talking in IMs. She liked the way I wrote and the beliefs I held, and I was a little starstruck by how much she'd accompished and how well-spoken she was. By the time Dylan was a few months old, we were really good friends, and by Dec of 01, when we finally met in person, we were best friends. I'd never had a friendship like that, where I felt so safe and could talk about anything with someone who understood and challenged me. Personality wise, Alli and I are a perfect match. I could even be so dopey as to say soulmates, heh. We saw each other again in March, July, and December of the next year, and the summer trip to San Diego is when we both really realized that whoa, this was more than friendship. After that trip, I was sitting in IHOP with my longtime friend Miguel and said, "I think I might be in love with Alli." He said, "Duh" in this deadpan "you idiot," captain obvious voice. We made livejournal posts with all sorts of veiled "I love you!" messages in them and talked for hours every single day. so in december, we finally slept together and admitted we were in love with each other. Three months later she moved from Portland Oregon to Austin to be with me.
Whenever people ask how we met, we always look at each other and sort of sheepishly giggle before we say, "on the internet." It was two years on Dec 8 and we're planning our wedding. :wink: :P :D

Aww I love this question. :D It was coming to the end of freshmen year, and i had seen timmy around school a lot throughout the year, but i was always too shy to talk to him because he wasnt like the guys i'd usually go for, he was way more laid back and stuff..i usually went for those rowdy jock guys..ugh..But he was so fricken cute ...Although i never thought much about him until i passed him in the halls or something because there was always some other guy..(freshmen year for me consisted of 9479237492734 weeklong relationships..i could not keep a guy to save my life, i always found something wrong with them or just got an icky feeling..) ok FLASH FORWARD to about 2 weeks before school got out for summer..It was saturday night and me and my best friend megan, her boyfriend dillon, and my best guy friend justin were heading to some backyard band show of some guy that my friends knew..So about ten minutes before we got to the house ( we were walking ) Tim gets out of some guy's car and starts walking with us, because he and justin and dillon were apparently good friends. So of course, i'm going on and on to megan about how i always thought he was cute and stuff so shes like " go talk to him blah blah" so the only thing i could think of was "uh, hey..my feet hurt, give me a piggy back ride" (i know..whatever you're thinking...shut up :? ) so he did, and we finally reach that guy's back yard and we're all hanging out by the pool..Tim is talking to someone else, i'm talking to megan about tim..of course. Then, i feel this hand start tickling my side and i'm like wtf? cause justin dillon and megan are all in plain view..so i turn around, and its tim. So i kinda just give him this smile, and then turn to megan and we both give eachother an omg! look..kinda like this :shock: :shock: :shock: but then finally i decide, what the hell..and i turn around and start kissing him. Whew, let me tell you..BEST kiss i ever had. And we've been together ever since..for almost two years.

me and my hubby met at a new years eve party at his house, i was dating his roommate and we were just friends, his roommate and i stopped dating and i lost touch with them all for like 6 months, then one night i was out with a friend and we met up with him, we had a good time and started hanging out. I stalked him at his job, i would go up there (he waited tables) and i would eat, or get a drink, and when he would get off we'd go out, his boss used to ask him what we'd do play barbies... lol he is 10 years older then me. Things just went from there, and he proposed like 6 months after we started dating.

i had always known of trent since i was like, 14. for some weird reason around minot him & his brother were known as "creep & trent." I used to always see him in the hall 10th grade, because he was this punk rock kid w/ chains & spiked hair & dead kennedy's shirts & i always liked guys like that. i didn't see him for a couple years after that .... then i saw him at the liberty (punk rock hang out in minot) and he ended up joining a band w/ a friend of mine. slowly after my 18th bday that summer we started hanging out more & more... then in october 2000 he asked me out at a show at the liberty.

well i met BD in like 6th grade... we went to school together and kinda hung out in the same group... so i guess u could say we were friends... well we hung out at school through i'd say March of our freshman year of high school then he was "asked to leave PHS" and then he bounced around to a couple different schools and we lost contact, until one day he IMed me and we started talking and 6 months later we started sleeping together and then a year and a half after we started sleeping together i got pregnant... and that is the story... during the year and a half i waited for him "to be ready for a relationship so we could be more than fuck buddies... and then after i got pregnant he found the love of his life GRRR :evil: :twisted: sorry i am STILL bitter

I met bd online. I had just gotten back from Germany a few days prior (I'd been over there as a youth ambassador for 5 weeks) and upon getting back, I felt pretty disillusioned with my friends. I went through this point in high school where I decided that I didn't really like the people I was associating with, and that they were quite generally contrary to my beliefs. I felt kind of isolated and frustrated and so for a few days after getting back, I really wanted to just stay home and be by myself. My dad was sick with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) and I had been feeling guilty about being in Germany when I knew that he was dying. Anyway, to not sour up the thread, I'll move on.

I was basically hanging out online, because it's a good and semi-interesting time killer and that night, I had chosen to not go out with my friends. Additionally it allowed me to help my dad out, if need be. Jeff and I met as I logged in to my yahoo messenger and noticed that a bunch of people had added me, so I added them back. He happened to be online when I did that - and was actually in the process of deleting me, because I had not added him back after 4 or so weeks. Guess he thought I didn't use it anymore or something.

Anyway, we chatted the entire night, and eventually talked about the sun rising, and other quasi-romantic things. So we began talking pretty frequently. At that point, I was a huge flirt and I thought that he was the cutest little thing. He was vegan and punk, played like 6 intruments, was social-justice inclined, interested in the things I was interested in and mesmerized by my website. We talked metaphysics, human rights, politics and philosophy, and I converted him to being pro-choice in the span of a couple of hours. :twisted: I was writing a 30-page "perfect society paper" at that time, and he claims to have fallen in love with me after reading it.

We talked for the entire summer and during that time I dated two other people, but I was always crushing on him. He lived only 2 hours away. At one point, I met some guy at a show in Toronto, and the guy kept calling me. I think he really really liked me, and at that point, that was a real turn off for me. Kind of like unless I was really into someone, I demanded a lot of space. So he was on the phone with me, again, and I wasn't sure what excuse to use to get rid of him. So I asked Jeff to call, to interrupt and he did. I wasn't exactly the most assertive female at that time. We talked all night again, and were seriously infatuated. I can talk a lot, when I want to (duh). After that we talked very, very, often. Eventually though, I got some guts, and decided I was going to his city to meet him. A good friend of mine and I bussed there. Due to a lot of confusion, we were in his city for about 6 hours before we finally met up, but when we did, it was like insta-butterflies.

We went out for a bit, smoked a bowl, played some games at his house and watched American Beauty. We slept on the couch together, me at one end and him at the other. We were infatuated. I was so pleased with him, I thought that he was exactly as cute as I'd always imagined him to be, and he thought that I was, well, hot. :oops:

Anyway, the next day I needed to get back to my city because the following morning, bright and early, I had to be at the hospital where I volunteered every Sunday morning. My father had since passed on, and I wanted to do something to contribute, so that's what I was doing at that point. I convinced Jeff to come back with me. All those months of infatuation and then meeting for a few hours to be instantly attracted to eachother, to leave? No way. So we bussed back, bought some pot (lol) and we stayed out pretty late with the friend of mine that had originally went with me to his town. Then we wealked the hour walk back to my house, discussing everything like we always had. We got back to my place and luckily (and oddly) no one was home. We had the entire night/house to ourselves so, we cuddled up and watched Dogma, and I don't know..fell in love?? :)

A few weeks later he was passing by my town to do snowboarding with friends. He decided to come up early and stay at my place, and then meet up with his friends. Needless to say, we, both being virgins, discovered the lust of sex, and he missed his snowboarding trip, and another week of school. After that, well, we both missed a lot of school. We were absolutely in love and were pretty much inseperable. A couple of months later the distance was intolerable, so we moved in together at my mom's house. Turns out that a few days after that, I got pregnant. We didn't find out for another 4.5 mos., though. This all started 5 years ago come the first of July. Technically, he was there for me after I had lost the most important person of my life. It was nice to feel that unconditional love that I'd always had from my dad, who was an absolutely wonderful, glorious and happy no matter what person.

We have problems, of course, but we're still really in love and as attracted to eachother as we've always been, and we produced an amazing child in the meantime. I love him a lot :) (don't tell him, but he'll never be Tenzin, or my dad, though :wink: )

i was crazy manic (i'm bipolar) and had been runing amok in NYC unmedicated. jared was my friends roommates best friend...consequently he was also the guitarist in the same band i was in, but not during the same time...he was on hiatus to cali...but then he came back to nyc. asked if i had a roommate. i said no. he said "want one?" i said ok. he made me shake on it. then he moved in and within a week or two we was in luvvvv.
then i went to the hospital for depression cause i crashed from the mania. stayed on the psych ward for a week and when i got out he was still there.

these are so cute.
my story is really dorky because i am a huge dork. i met bd because i would always play hackysack in the front yard at this guys house (a mutual friend of ours). it was usually just a bunch of guys and me out there kicking that thing around. i guess he liked my moves (lol) cause he would always kick it in my direction...i know, this is so hopelessly dorky. anyway we started talking and then started dating at the very end of my senior yr in high school. we used to have so much fun in those carefree times, before everything got so crazy. not very long after we started dating i got pregnant. and we have broken up and gotten back together about 85 times since then, but i cant help but love the guy. and we make pretty babies.

Awww love hearing stories :D Anyways BD and I met at work! I was working at a retirement center and he started a few months after me. I was in a relationship at the time, as he was too~ he was splitting up with his other at the time, and he told me he was crushing on me... i didnt believe him cuz he was soooooo much older then me. So i was like uh huh okay whatever... Then it became real when we started talking on the phone and he neverrrrrr wanted me to leave work. He would get off at like 7:30 i would get off at like 8:30 and he would stay and help me close. (i was the last one out of there at night) while being unpaid.. One night i was getting ready to leave and he grabbed me and pulled me to him and kissed me! ahhh i was soooooo embarrassed but had the butterflys all in my tummy!! haha get all giddy thinkin about it. and anyways, just started hanging out 2 mths later became prego with our first. had an abortion. Months after that found out i was prego again.... and were still together!

You guys sleeping yet? haha! :P

wasnt the most romantic way! You guys have much better stories of the hook ups! haha. anways sorry didnt mean to make it sooooooo longgg!

blah here goes....
i met bd freshman year of hs. he was a new student right before x-mas break and he was in like all but 2 of my classes. so we started talking during gym class (cuz i never brought clothes to change into) and it was like an instant connection. we were together on and off for about 3 years after that. now i dont even talk to him at all for lots of reasons...

i met my b/f around the same time i met bd, but my bf is 12 years older then me, so we were just friends then, he played in a band and i helped them get a show at a local club (that is no longer open). we talked online all that time and finally started going out about a month ago.

How I met bd...
My best friend Ashton and I went to this party at this guys house that she was kind of seeing. I got really drunk, & threw up all over my clothes. so M, they guy she liked, gave her some clothes to put me into so they could wash my regular clothes. She then put me in M's roommates bed, and I passed out. It was CHarlies (bd) bed and clothes. when he got home from work, there I was sleeping in his boxers and shirt and in HIS BED! So charlie started talking shit about "some dumb girl" that was passed out in his bed. THe next weekend I went back to their house got drunk again and ended up kissing Charlie. We started dating, and after 8 mos I got pregnant. We Broke up when Rylee was 8 mos old.

How I met my now boyfriend...
One night I finally got a babysitter and went to a party with Ashton at her manager's house. I got drunk and started hitting on J, her manager. (Which is comletely NOT like me) We went on a date in Dec. and have been seeing each other since.

Sorry that was soo long...
next...

okay here is my story...and i guess i sorta owe it to girlmom...hehe

well when i first came here i met dzogchen or liz and we decided to meet up and hang out. well we became really good friends and one day she and k and i went over to her cousins house. thats when i first met sean (my now dh). in nov. of 2003 at her baby shower we decided to hook up .....after that night when i came home i saw that he had called. the rest is history..... :)

I met my boyfriend Daniel at the bus stop going to school. I remember thinking that he was really hot and that I wouldnt mind getting to know him. For the first couple months of school we didnt really talk and then we started having class together. Simple friendship at first but then we would catch each other staring in class and we both knew something was there. Finally we talked about having a relationship and now we are together and having a baby boy on August 1, 2006.

I met my bd off the internet.....hah
We used to both go on this chat site thing, and we added eachother to 'msn'....but at the time, i was totally not intrested in meeting any guys.
He used to ALWAYS ask me everytime we talked if we could meet, I would always say no.
But, one night...I was staying at a friends place after a loonngg night of partying and I went on msn and was talking to "J"(BD), I said goodbye but forgot to turn off my msn.....so my two friends went on and INVITED HIM OVER..lol i was soooooooooooo mad.
He and his roomate came over, and eventho J sat right beside me, I dont think we said ONE WORD to eachother the entire night LOL.
I obviously thought this meeting went really really bad....so I had no hopes of him being intrested in me at all. (I thought he was really hot)
But the next day I checked my email and he wrote something like
"hey, youre really cute....if you ever want to hang out again...just let me know"
It was totally nice, but stupid me....I never asked him to hang out again.
He would ask all the time and I would get mad and say no lol I was crazy shy in those days hehe
But one night, after getting into a fight with my friends....I really wanted to get outta the house....so me and him met in a parking lot and we just went for a ride like practically all night.
We've been together ever since............its been almost 2 years and we now have an almost 3 month old son together :)

Couple days later he texted me and we texted all the time be became a great friend , then we met up again and well we started dating it took some time but he waited ... he so amazing 3 years on i got pregnant to him i didnt cry he did ! hes so sweet hes an amazing lover and bd

Awe, i love reading these even if they are almost a year old! So me and Jeremy met my sophmore year of high school, he was a junior ( at a differnt school ) my bestfriend was with his bestfriend at the time and one night me, melissa and brian went over to jeremy's house. I still remember what i was wearing! YIKES! Well we were all just sitting around doing pretty much nothing and i remember looking at this sign that he had on his door, it said "it's 11 pm does your mother know your here" and i was like umm... no. So i guess he thought i was cute, i thought he was cute, little short for my liking and kinda small. But cute. We all started hanging out, and his friend david liked me too, so i decided who ever called me first i would go out with! nice i know! Well it took him a while cuz he was shy, but he finally called and we talked. We had our first "date" with melissa and brian at the movies, we saw Just married, and were sitting in those little 2 setter sections. At one point in the movie i laughed pretty hard, and some how managed to shot snot out of my nose. I think this was what closed the deal for me!! RIGHT! but i was mortified and pretended like nothing ever happened and i says he didn't see it! But anyways, we started hanging out more, and he asked me out Feb. 7th of 2003. We had sex for the first time on his 18th birthday, he was the first guy i had sex with, and i was his first too!! AWE!!! so cute! we've broken up and gotten back together a few times. But we just can't seem to stay away from each other! Now we live together and i'm pregnant with his little girl! 3 years has gone by REALLY fast! and we have changed ALOT he's not tiny little boy Jeremy any more!

i met bd while dating another person. my ex lived in his neighbhood and he sorta hung around everyone i hung around. my bd i became good friends. i like my friends best, i am always intimidated by people who approach me for a relationship so i always tend to slip into them through friends

anyways my ex was in the middle of bashing my head into my windshield and bd jump over and beat him. ( nice) we drove off together and never looked back. from that day on i quite hanging out with everyone else ( because they watched him do the things he did to me and didnt make a move) and bd and i hung out almost every day.

he went to VA to visit family for a month, we talked every day he was gone.

he came back and i got pregnant the day he came back. we had been having sex for awhile, all of which was unprotected, go figure.

he surprised the hell out of me and stuck to me like glue through my pregnancy.

we have had so many rough times together both with each other and life in general.

been together almost 3 years.

I met BD through friends. I had seen a picture of him prior to meeting him once. I thought he looked scarey, but everyone kept telling me how sweet he was.

The night we first met, we were all watching a movie in a friends basement. It was Cabin Fever. That movie cracks me up, so I was laughing pretty good, but nobody else was. I felt like a dink. Then I reached over and patted his big poof of hair, and I said it was soft like a teddy bear (or something). He reacted really funny to that. I thought I embarassed him or made him mad or something. But later he tells me I "melted his heart" (so corny).

Then later we were partying and drinking in his basement. He thought I was so cool bc I could keep up with his drinking. I was trying to chug this tequila out of the bottle, but really I was just holding it to my mouth and drinking really slow, so I would look "cool" ~*~ Life has changed so much since then, I can't even believe we used to do that stuff ~*~ I could see him blatantly checking me out, and flirtng. At the time I was "dating" (sleeping with) the friend who introduced us, so I wasn't too interested in him, but it was nice attention. He seemed to really be into me. I kept up conversations with him on MSN. Eventually we started hanging out. We spray painted his school together the first time we hung out alone. He was 16 and I was 18. So, I guess I was quite the catch, being older and stuff (all those highschool politics). We started hanging out more and more, until one day we realised we had seen each other everyday that week. but I wasn't really sure I was a relationship kind of girl, though clearly, it was already a relationship weather I was willing to admit it or not.

Then I got sick. I had mono. My tonsils were the grossest I've ever seen. But he talked to me on the phone and made me feel better for hours everyday. That was when I really let myself fall for him. I took him to my marching band practices while I was sick and we sat out and watched, and I told all the parents he was my personal nurse. When I got better enough to make out with him, we did and things went from there. Then after our first time doing the deed, he asked if I would be his girlfriend. I'm such an asshole, I didn't answer him for like a good 30 seconds. He claimed to have been pretty upset about that pause, naturally. After a rather awkward moment I said ok, but only if things went slow and didn't get all possesive and attached. lol 3 months later I was pregnant. He had just finished grade 10, and we were scared as hec. But he stuck with me. He's still here as of right now, and we've almost been together for 2 years now. We've been through the pregnancy, moving in together, the birth, a move to our own place, and plenty more. So, he's a pretty good guy.

I'm not the type to commit to "forever", especially not as young as I am right now. But things as of right now are going good for us. He seems to truly care for me, which is something I didn't really believe existed until it happened to me. Not the most romantic story.

My current boyfriend and I have been together for 5 months now.
I knew the guy since high school but never dated him back then. We ran into each other at a bar (romantic, huh?) and kind of went home together that night. Ever since then, we've been inseparable. He's also really great with the kids. :)

I was all dressed up with no place to go (he he). It was halloween and I dressed up as a sexy kitty cat for my job at a pet store. I was visiting a friend of mine from school at his job, and he introduced me to CB. I thought he was really cute, and instantly was attracted to him. But I just got done with a really bad relationship, and didn't want to date.
So we became "buddies".

We did our thing for a while, until I decided I wanted more.
But he had a complicated situation back then, his daughters mom was psycho and he lived in the same house with her to help support their child (which is very honorable). Anyway, I met her once, and she decided that she didn't like me, so she made our lives a living hell by threatening to use their daughter as leverage. So, timing was off. Plus, I'm really straight edge (no mj stories here :P) and he was really into drinking and a recovering drug addict, so things were a little bit prickly there...especially when he started using again, right before I found out I was pregnant.

So, when I told him, he freaked. I was already freaked. My family situation wasn't all that great when I grew up and I didn't want to inflict my future child with the same fate, so we talked about it and I decided that the best choice was an abortion - because there's no guarantee that a baby will be adopted, and if they are, no guarantee that they'll fare any better than living with me. To make matters worse, his ex told his entire family - which should have been something that I decided to do or not. Regardless, it got intolerable to be with him any longer (on top of dealing with her cynicism and resentment), and we broke up. We remained friends off and on for two years until he dissappeared off the face of the planet. I couldn't find him for 6 months, until his dad called me to tell me he was in rehab. His dad told me that he would be different - that drugs had made him the man I didn't like, and that I was the best thing that ever happened to him, and that I should give him another chance because he needed a friend. He had pushed everyone, including me, away.

I followed his dad's advice, and we were friends for six months, hung out for four months and have been together for 7 months. He has been sober for over a year and I am so proud of him. Every day with him is a miracle, but I have to admit, sometimes I wonder what life would have been like had we made the decision to have the baby. I think about it every day. Whoever says having an abortion is "the easy way out," has no clue what it's like to give themselves a life sentace of guilt.

I knew I loved him when I met him, and I knew I loved him but didn't like who he was when we broke up. This love has been there all along, and maybe in the future, we'll get married, and have a baby - this time planned.
