[quote=eavesdropper] . . . BTW, I’m one of the lucky ones: I was my husband’s high school crush, one upon which he never acted (probably because he knew I’d deck him…) At any rate, we met again many years later. We’ve been together 12 years now, and (without going into graphic detail) it’s still great! He says that marrying the girl that you fantasized about from the time you were 15 is a total aphrodisiac. All I know is that I can be 15 pounds overweight, have 1 inch of gray roots in my hair, puffy eyes from pulling an all-nighter, and no makeup, and all he’s seeing is the girl I was back in the 70s. It’s pretty cool.[/quote]

Eaves, floors aside, your story is inspiring … and more common than most folks would believe, esp among “boomers” :=D
