Hayls💭 :
my husband and I met online after being pretty down and sad, and downloading PoF. He was in the army in a camp 80 miles away (we'd both set our limits to ~30km). The same camp is where my dad was based when he was younger and got married, so I have 2 siblings there who I hadn't seen for 10 years (they dont speak to my dad). I'd had 200 messages from complete weirdos and I was JUST about to delete the app when he messaged me. I initially turned him down because he was younger than me, and even though I'd said since I was young that I wanted to marry a soldier, I grew up and knew their reputation, and I had a 2 year old son who I needed to protect. He gave me a bit of context, asked again, I reluctantly agreed. He drove all the way to pick me up the next day, we went for dinner, it was literally love at first sight. We took an hour to order dinner because we kept talking an laughing. 8 years on we're married, he is the best dad to my son, we have our own home, a daughter together and a dog. We've lived through the highest highs and the lowest lows and I still adore him and he, me. To think I turned him down at first genuinely terrifies me.
