So, I still am continually surprised at how life can change on you. Here I am, married to the most beautiful, amazing woman in the world... and little over 2 years ago I thought she was a stuck up bitch.
Lisa and I met through Drew, my old college roommate. At the time I was paying little attention to the situation, because it seemed like some weird sitcom triangle. Drew was dating one girl, but wanted to be dating her friend, and the girl wanted to be dating his friend, who was dating the girls friend. Confusing and annoying.
She had started coming to game, and I was very much playing an obnoxious character. She mentioned that she didn't like chocolate, which confused and terrified me. A girl not liking chocolate? Blasphemy. The next game session I had stopped at the store to buy snacks. I picked up the usual things like chips, candy bars, etc. Now while I know I can be an ass sometimes, still try to be civil to people, so I grabbed a bag of smarties for Lisa, so she didn't feel left out not liking any of the snacks.
When I told her this she tried to hug me which, me not liking being touched by strangers caused me to panic. But even after that and for a while afterwards I still thought that she was kind of stuck up and a bitch. But game has a way of bringing people together and I slowly learned to accept that about her.
Then the divorce happened. Everyone was telling me how horrible she was, and what everything she was doing was wrong. I sat there and looking at our entire mutual circle of friends... no one knew how she felt about it. I was trying to stay out of the whole fight. But I couldn't . So I invited her over, not to talk, but to distract her with the pets at my house. Pets always help when your in a bad mood.
Now here we are, married and I've never been happier. Funny how life changes on you.
