Don't Tell Me YOU Haven't Ever Done Anything Impulsive
Person Who Is Not Me, looking at me as if I am totally nuts: “How many days did you spend in one another’s presence before you got married?”
Person Who IS Me, trying to avoid eye contact: “About ten days.”
PWINM: “And you, of all people, should know better.”
Me: “Yes, I know.”
PWINM: “What was the rush?”
That’s a damn good question, and I can’t give a perfectly satisfactory answer.
You see, my wife and I met online. We used to play cards together. After about nine months, we finally met face-to-face. I spent a week with her. About a week after I came back home from that trip, we decided to get married. To repeat: we met for the first time in January and got married in March. Our 6th anniversary is about a week away.
I think the best answer to the question about the rush to get married is this (and there’s no need to tell me that’s not a good enough answer!): it was getting expensive to carry on a relationship when we were thousands of miles apart.
It is true that things have been more difficult for us because we rushed, but I love my wife, and I’m glad I’m married to her. And we’re working on things. We have made a lot of progress in six years, and we’re still climbing.

dude, that is quite amazing. And I thought I was bold to move in with my "boyfriend"/(now hubs) after spending 12 days together over 9 months. (we lived 1800 miles away from each other.)
THE question is: what card game were you playing?
spades, hearts??
mel--it was euchre
Note to self: ***never*** play euchre. Whatever the hell that is.
:-)
It was ...nevermind.
I can't answer publicly.
The length of courtship (did I actually use that word?) doesn't always matter, really. Marriage is still a lot of work! Especially when children are added to the mix.
Were you married on March 24th? That's my anniversary. Six years.
Wow, that's fantastic! So there may be online hope for me yet!!!
That's more than a bit adorable. Plus, how long you stood in each other's presence doesn't matter so much as how long and how well you knew each other!
Actually, LV, we were married on a Friday, the 23rd.
this gives me hope.
