Today, my husband and I celebrated 61 years of marriage!

69. Thanks for your question, my dear 3catwoman3! Here you go:

I was dating a young man whom I loved, and he loved me. But he felt that I had not dated enough other men to really know that he was the one. He wanted me to date more men, and he was going to date other women. I was not happy, but I complied.

He introduced me to my now husband, and guess what?

I found that this gentleman was just what I was looking for. My soon to be ex-boyfriend stayed away, and I fell in love with the new man. I found that I respected him as he did me. We spent some time getting to know one another and then I decided that he was the man I wanted to marry. We'd met in the spring, and by the fall, we were firmly attached. In the new year, we announced our engagement and we were married the following June.

My ex did return, but it was too late. I felt bad for him, and I hoped he would find someone that was perfect for him.

So there you have it!
