    My Partner and I met at a party my ex was throwing. He(my partner) was interested in my ex and I came home to my ex's place(where I was still living) from a date. By the end of the night both my ex and my date were pissed and my partner and I have been inseparable for 20 years this March.

     The Day I met my Husband,
    I was at home getting ready for a house warming party. It was for the Conductor of the singing group I was in though college. This group were, and many still are very close friends. I was 28 and we were all still very close.
    I was very excited. It had been a good couple of weeks. I graduated from nursing school, I then took my test and passed.  So I had been working on my "Temporary Licence."  I got my REAL  licence in the mail that day !! IA great start to the day !!!
    The party was awesome so much fun !!!! It started around 2pm and about 8pm the director's new girlfriend came in. THE PARTY ENDED!!!!
    Several of us were not ready to end. It was decided to go to the closest bar. It was a "townie gay bar. "  One of my friends had to work in the morning and was getting ready to leave early. I was walking out to her car because there had been some trouble in the parking lot with car windows smashed and some gay bashing...SOO I was walking her out....and the most beautiful man was walking in.....I smiled at him and he smiled back....I promptly started dragging my friend to her car. I was first torn if I should go back into the bar. My friend told me to go back in. I told her "OK I am going to marry that man." ....I went back in and he was at "my place at the bar." I worked A LOT during college and nursing school  !!! And would go out on Thursday night just to go out. I went home with him that night. Our first date was the next weekend. I never left !!!!!! We have been together the last 17 years.........SO THAT IS THE STORY

    Awww, it's nice to see an internet match up that actually worked!

    I met my wife when she joined my women's chorus (read 90% lesbian!) and I was instantly attracted to her! I was in a relationship at the time, but the moment I wised up and ended it- I went for her!

    Such interesting stories! I met my partner of 18 years when I was out on a date with someone else. We met through a mutual friend, and by the end of the evening, I had moved my chair closer to her, and my date had moved to be closer to my friend! Funny how things work out. We split up last June, when we realized we were much better friends than partners. So now I am flying "solo" just like Leslie! Like everything else, it has its ups and downs. But I'm convinced that love will find me again one day (you too, Leslie). And, I still like hearing stories about how people meet!

    Danni I love it! Especially the wising up part, I know a few who still need to do that. And the chorus, so true! One of my friends here at work is part of the NC one, and shes in heaven lol.

    rtptjd, some people do end up better friends. My sis and her ex GF are the same way. In a relationship they sorta sucked and fed off each others unhappiness. Now they are like the best friends in the world, although states apart she knows more about her life than mine.

    Thanks marc.  My oldest sister and her ex-husband get along better now than when they were married, so it must run in my family!  I think the time just came when we both realized the relationship had run its course.  I'm very lucky in that we're not at each other's throats, having to hire lawyers to divide property, etc.  Way too expensive and requires too much energy! 

    As far as meeting someone new, I've always been told that when you're NOT looking, that's when you find 'em!  Time will tell, won't it??

    My wife and I met at work.... but in different states!  We worked in the same division and did some work together.  I worked at the company hq in California and my wife ran a team of support agents in Portland.  The first time i went up to her office, a colleague was showing me around the office and introducing me to everyone.  It was a huge room with short cubes.  Across the room, I saw this hawt thing standing up in the corner.  I asked my colleague, "Damn! Who's the hawt baby dyke?!"  She laughed and told me it was Jill.  BTW... Jill is only 4 yrs younger than me. I had been on a few conference calls with Jill and I was like... yowza!  But she had a gf at the time and I aint no home-wrecker. 

    Well... months later I found out that Jill and her gf broke up.  Awwwww... so sad for them!  So I swooped in and started building a co-worker friendship with her.  Then the flirting ensued.  And then we had our 1st date almost 3 years ago (2/13/10 to be exact.)  Yeah... it took place over dinner, a couple gay clubs and then the hotel I booked in downtown Portland that night.  Next day... Valentine's Day of course, our 1st date continued (uh... never ended mind you) until mid day. 

    19 months later she finally moved down to CA from OR and we've been goopy madly in love since!  Oh, we got married last April too.  Now we're expecting our 1st child.  I'm 17 wks pg right now.  Yeah buddy!  OH... and wifey fell in love with me when I weighted 325 lbs and she's been with me throughout my WLS journey.  I have the best wife in the entire world!

    I'm with marc, amazing story!  Congratulations on finding a "keeper" cuz they are hard to find!  I wish you and your partner and the little one(s) many happy, healthy years ahead!  But, as someone who just became single again (after 18 years), I'm curious:  how long after your current wife's breakup did you wait to start "dating" her?  I've been told I need about a year to "be myself" again, and that may be true.  But, like everything else, I figure it depends on the person involved.  I have only met one woman I want to date and she isn't interested.  So it's probably a moot point right now, but just wondering!

    Jill was single for about 4 months before we officially started dating.  But she was only together with that ex for 2-3 years.  18 is kinda different.  Good luck!
