Met mine Freshman year of high school. Dated for a short period Sophmore year and I blew her off a week before my winter formal. Halfway stayed in contact for the next couple of years. Senior year of high school started to hang out again. For some unknown reason, she had a moment of compassion and we started dating again freshman year of college. Almost 4 years later we got married. Married now for over 2 years and have a beautiful 8 mo. old daughter. We keep each other in check pretty well, she is working hard to complete her Master's next May, until then the stress level will remain slightly elevated.
