He would not shut up about how awesome he thought he was.

He would not shut up about how awesome he thought he was.
Turned out he had a massive crush on me and was trying to impress me.
I thought he was a colossal windbag but all those things were actually true.

He just wanted to put his best foot forward.
Weve been together for eight years.

She threw a fork at me, and it lodged in my eye.
Leaving me screaming in terror and pain.
It was a plastic fork that simply lodged itself between my actual eye ball and the eye lid.
Got me out of 5th period, though.
This time next year well be married.

I thought he was an arrogant asshole.
We met in college.
I thought he was an arrogant asshole.
Warmed up to him after a few months but was still never attracted to him.
During a party he pretended to be my boyfriend to ward off this really creepy guy.
Then he just pushed me up against the wall and kissed me hard.
Something about his confidence was a compete turn on for me.
I was attracted to him from then on.

His dad married my moms best friend.
Small town, everyone knew everyone.
I reacted poorly to him being a dick and we wrote each other off.
Luckily he remained friends with my brother.
He came over one day at the start of summer and just never left.
My brother would conveniently go to bed early when neither of us were tired.
We would stay up all night talking and laughing.
That summer turned into 13 years and still going strong.

I was immediately put off by the stone-faced, sour-faced, drill-sergeant-faced, resting-bitch-faced lump of coal.
Then, without warning, a smile Ill never forget.
We spoke for hours on the phone that night and every night thereafter for weeks.

Fuck him and his fucking rude-ass first impression.
There was this overnight grocery guy who was a massive jerkwad.
I said hi to him and complimented his sweet Batman-themed sleeve and he just growled at me.
I thought, what a fucking dick and moved about my life.
This was March 2013.
I see him a few more times and I just ignore him.
Fuck him and his fucking rude-ass first impression.
I was super tired, alright?
Well the cashier working was really talkative and I go with it.
She sees my uniform and goes, Oh, you work at Grocery Store!
You must know who my son is!
I ask what his name is and she tells me.
It doesnt ring a bell, and she describes him.
Turns out its the rude fuck.
I tell her he was rude to me.
She just mentions that hes pretty surly when he wakes up.
I just nod in agreement and dont really change my opinion that Rude Fuck was just a rude fuck.
Fast forward almost a year.
Rude Fuck is reading a book while he waits for work to start.
I think it was a classic literature novel, Im blanking on which one.
I comment on it.
We make the most minimal of small talk.
Turns out he likes to read.
The next time I see him, hes wearing a hoodie from Aladdin the Musical.
I comment on it.
I somehow end up getting his number.
The intent was never to start anything because I was in a three year relationship at the time.
And Surly Overnight Guy was in a relationship too.
We just sort of text one another.
Two months go by.
My relationship falls apart.
Surlys relationship had deteriorated too, because she wanted to start seeing other guys.
Imagine my elation when I heard they broke up.
That was May 2014.
July 2014, I find out Im pregnant with Surlys kid.
I lose the baby September 11th 2014.
Surly and I move in together November 1st 2014.
Surly proposes June 15th 2015.
I became Mrs. Surly October 31st 2016.
I got diagnosed with cancer May 28th 2017.
Declared remission October 16th 2017.
Discover I cant have kids of my own due to chemo in November 2017.
Last active treatment for cancer was December 22nd 2017.
Couldnt have done any of it without Surly.
Also, his mom was right.
He is a surly fuck when he wakes up.

I figured he was a dick.
I thought he was a cutie but he ignored my existence, so I figured he was a dick.
I walked past him and another co-worker talking and the co-worker says hey, she used to be fat.
Come join the used to be fat club!
Not an ideal start to my first conversation was someone I was crushing on lol.
Future hubby thought Id get embarrassed or pissed, but I joked and laughed about it instead.
Turns out he didnt talk to me because Im a pretty confident person and he found it intimidating lol.

He scared my movers away when I moved in next door to him.
Was moving into a trailer park.
Figured my neighbors would be kind of redneck.
In my anger, I went to the neighbors house and told him off for scaring my movers away.
He and his friends felt so bad that they unloaded the rest of the truck for me.
My next-door neighbor now lives in my house with me.

All he talked about was sex.
We finally met a few months later.
I love this guy like crazy, been dating exclusively since our first date 2 years ago.

He was always so grumpy and I just thought he was kind of an asshole.
My now husband and I used to work together ~8 years ago.
He was always so grumpy and I just thought he was kind of an asshole.
He left about a month after I got hired.
Flash forward to ~3.5 years ago, we reconnected at a mutual friends going away party.
A few months ago we got married.
Never in a million years did I ever think wed end up together, much less married!
:D

She threw up sushi, beer, and sake INTO MY DOOR PANEL.
First real date with my wife, we go get sushi.
So…I start drinking with the chef to try and calm myself.
Poor thing had tried to stick her head out of the window but missed.
Car smelled like rotten fish up until the day I got tired of it and traded it in.
Weve been together for 16 years…married 11, with two kids.
Also the chef and us are great friends, we love to tease my wife about that fateful night!

Met in high school and I once threw her schoolbag in a tree as a way of flirting.
She was in England and I was still in Australia.
We have been married for 15 months and have our first baby due in March.

I said, someone get this asshole out of my way.
My first encounter with my now husband was at a coffee shop where we both worked.
It was his first day and they were showing him around.
(I was a bit of a bitch back in the day.
It was the 90s and I had that grunge angst thing working).
A year later, Id come back from a study abroad program and he asked me out.
I stood him up.
He asked me out again.
I stood him up.
In September we will celebrate 20 years of marriage.
