Oh LAWDY! This is an unusual situation. I met him when I was 17 and he was18 in college. Followed him (stalked) for weeks asked him out and then dated intermittently Fresh year. Wrote him over summer-got 2 letters from him. Looked for each other first day of school and went from there. We always broke up around MY B-DAY/ Christmas-he said tests-I said CHEAP. We would get back together in the spring. AFTER he got over the high of initiation and came back down to earth-back together. I would have to say "Tell me you're crazy about me" he couldn't say love. We still had the same break up pattern the next 2 years, then it was time for graduation(his) and he left. Long distance between us and he couldn't/wouldn't make the trip to Houston $$$. Back together months again break up but his brothes(fraternity) kept tabs on me. We broke up for well over a year the last breakup. Then I get a call he and his brotherS(real) are in town. They ALL came over and we got back together. So now we are in the last heat the race. He goes back to New Orleans I'm offered a permanent position in Kansas City "Honey time to $#*! or get off the proverbial pot" He gets his papers and I get the REAL proposal over the phone. We were together for over a year before we FINALLY got married.
1971---------1980. I was certain he was the one, and I was right.\

A BIG PS--We fought like cats and dogs! Once we married I felt secure-we swore to NEVER EVER use the word divorce. Except for one time, our "fights" have been pretty lame and tame. Breakups can help sometimes.
