Ping!

Would some of you mind sharing your story with me and the forum? How did you meet?

We met at the gym. Her cothing barely covered her heaving, sweaty toes.

Every time we worked out together, I had to steal a peek at her heaving, sweaty toes. One day she looked at me and said...

How long can the story be? You want it short and to the point or long and drawn out? Grassontop

By all means, marry someone who shares your political views; there is enough to argue about in marriage without that being one of the things.

I haven't been married long enough to have much of a long story.

FReeperette? That's what we're called? It's cute.

Share as much as you like. :-)

Well, I can see you are familiar with Penthouse Letters. ;-)

First date we shared some wine and cheese

What? No "chocolat moose?"

and heaving, sweaty toes.

Heck, you mean I have to get a passport??

Ok, this is going to be long. StoneColdGOP and myself had been flirting via FReepmail for a few months. We started talking on the phone in October, and originally we planned to meet in Vegas in December. That fell through, we just could not wait that long.

So, on Nov. 9th, we met in Fresno. Why Fresno? Well, it is pretty much halfway between Sac and L.A. and it is the home of where we met....FR.

About 15 minutes after we both arrived and met in downtown Fresno, we decided to get a hotel room, some dinner, and we spent the weekend talking and all that good stuff.

Since then, we have spent almost every weekend together, either up here, or down in L.A. Has it been expensive? VERY. Worth it? Damn straight it has.

Is he my political soulmate? For the most part yes. Are we still together? Yup.

And we are very happy. :-)

PING!

My wife and I met in an American Legion bar in Sheridan, Wyoming! Somehow, it was God who brought us together in that bar! We got married by a God fearing preacher!
My wife was a conservative and I was a dumocrat. Her political ideaology is what brought me to her conservative side along with my God fearing preacher. We moved here to West Virginia to be near her family.
My wife had me to listen to Rush Limbaugh and at first I hated the man for cutting down the democrats, but later, God in all His wisdom showed me the truth of my party after some soul searching! I finally became a strong supporter for the Conservative Party and greatful ever since to Rush Limbaugh.
What has even brought my wife and I closer than ever was in this article click here.
And even with all of our physical problems and that one incident, my wife and I are truly in love with each other! Grassontop

bump for later reading of other sweet stories like yours.

Lay a $20 bill on the table and follow the sign that says "Egress". You'll get all your answers there.

No, really! I thought that the Holiday Inn was the only place south of Deckers to meet chicks.

This could develop into a very interesting thread. Sadly I won't be able to contribute much, although reading the accounts of FReeper couples sounds worthwhile to me.

See, I live in the Great Socialist State of Pennsylvania, southwest region to be exact. This is the birthplace of Unionism if not American Socialism.

Most of the people I grew up with, friends today and espeically Wife and her relatives, are of the unionist/socialist persuasion. The holidays are pure hell for me. Just over Christmas one of my brothers in law kept baiting me about "The Bonehead", "The Ignorant Bastard", "The Rich Man's Mouthpiece" meaning of course Rush.

I didn't take the bait but the thing is I'm so Conservative I hardly listen to Rush much anymore. Originally he did a wonderful thing for the Conservative Cause, and he still can come up with interesting angles on current events. However I don't now - never did- march in lockstep with him.

Perhaps that's one a weakness among Conservatives, we tend to be so diverse - and SO uncompromising - that we never can really pull together as the democrats do.

In any case and back to the spirit of this thread, Wife and I couldn't be more apart on politics. While I can hoold grudges against politicians - at ALL levels - she is more tha willing to forgive and forget. And of course get burned again.

Wife will tell me she does not support the union/socialist movemnet as it stands today and then go out and vote democrat because that's what her parents did.

Trying to discuss current events or politics with her is a lesson in frustration. Even if she intitiates the discourse it ultimatly ends up with me giving her a history lesson. She interperts that as a rant or me lecturing to her.

The thing is if she had been paying attention I wouldn't have to lecture, - explain - things to her.

A good case in point was this morning when we were - in a tangentital way - discussing Clinton, Somalia and Mogadishu in the frame of "Blackhawk Down". Wife didn't have a clue including not knowing about the bodies of US servicemen being dragged through the streets.

Wife, even though she is NOT a "dumb"person, just doesn't have the capacity to absorb much of what we post here at FR. And that is a great dissapointment to me. I think she could contirbute. I think she and I together could make some interesting comments. However her priorities are not the same as mine so we differ/argue/disagree/sleep in different rooms if not houses as often as not. We have a fine marriage - 25 or so years - and a wonderful relationship. However when it comes to politics/philosophy and so forth, the best thing I can do is let her go her own way and let her learn from her mistakes.
