How did you meet your SO?

[margo49]

In a hiking hut in a National Park...he just walked in. Talked a bit that night, set off together in the morning (to the next hut up the valley) , talked a lot that night and the next day back down the valley as the snow fell and a Very Nice Night in another hut. Next night in the little dot-on-the-map town then went our separate ways for a fortnight after which he phoned and came to stay at the friend's place I was at. The end of that week decided to "give it a try"...26 years, 3 countries, 3 children, 2 cats and 3 dogs later ...still going strong despite initial racism and bigotry not to mention worry from both sides.
The funniest thing is we are now held up as an example of a "model family"...societal tidal changes have washed us in from the reef of radicaliam onto the (almost deserted) beach of "normality" (one man one woman "good" kids and pets).
Sometimes I am so embarrassed! And so sad for all those who swallowed the heterosexist Hollywood US Cutural Imperialist myth hook line and sinker and had it explode on them. And I am the one getting to live something I don't want to support really.
Not married yet though!!!!
