Likewise with any relationship.
My husband and I met through our jobs. We were both taxi drivers and both of us were divorced. As any taxi driver anywhere in the world will tell you, you get propositioned at least 3 times a week. From my own point of view, there are times I could have had my pick of men - some very good looking ones too, and the same goes for my husband with female passengers. The bottom line is we instinctively trust each other and we love each other. Neither of us would bother with anyone else - we're happy with each other Maybe it's because we're older (and met when we were older) and don't have the same lack of confidence and insecurities that often younger people have, I don't know.

We're husband and wife, but we're also best friends too.
