i had to write because i love telling people my story lol (EGO HEAD) sorry if this is a long post but i need to share
when i was 15 my mom died suddenly at home from a blood clot, soon after my step dad couldnt face it so he done a runner leaving me and my 12 year old sister alone, my auntie came and took my sister to live with her but no space for me so was left alone as people persumed i could care for myself lol what a joke that was, i found and befriended the local drug dealer and started staying at his house drinking and doing drugs every night and going to school out my face until i decided not to go again, i was stealing alot so i could afford more and more drugs and just didnt care bout life, then one night went back to my dealers and there was a girl there with her mom and dad (later found out my dealer was her uncle and her mom and dad had just started talking to him again) we spoke very briefly before i left again and i didnt think anything of it until she phoned her uncles house to talk to me, we started talking on the phone every night for a couple of weeks then her mom and dad invited me over, we all went to a social club and basically asked me to go out with her, but told me to go back to school, anyway i started going back to school just eased up alittle on the drinking and drugs and started going to school then traveling the 12 mile journey on 3 buses every night to go and see her stay at hers and then travel back to school in the morning i done this for a couple of months and ended leaving school with 9 GCSE's once i left school i basically moved into her moms house and started to go to college by her house, she spent the first few months we were living together sobering me up and managed to get me of drink and drugs to which i can proudly admit im still free from now, we didnt sleet together for the first 9 months of being together we wanted to make sure the time was right because we were both virgins and when it happened it was amazing, 12-13 years on im still with the same girl we got married when we were 19 were now both 28 we have 6 beautiful children which include 2 sets of twins we have a lovely house and both work full time me during the day her on the evening life could not be better, she was my angel sent from heaven to guide me and without i would not be here i can gurantee that.
My story is no way near as heart warming as that.....
Met my wife on message boards after being incredably shy at uni and getting really depressed. Used to be in the computer rooms every night rather than doing the usual student stuff. Met up with the wrong person first and she broke my heart by sleeping with some one the day before we even met but only found out the day after. I now know i really wasnt in love with her. After this me and my wife started chatting more and it sortta brought us much closer together. We met up as friends and had one of the best days of my life together and parted very much as friends, we did have a moment where I bumped into a sign on the way back to the train station and we started holding hands. The next day I had a call from her saying about an internet guy that was harrasing her (not me), I straight away got the train to see her (the most impulsive thing i have ever done in my life). Anyway this is how i knew she was the one and we are still together now and i lost my virginity to her. Shows that somtimes meeting people on the internet does make for good relationships! 
Mines no where as nice as them 2 lol. I met my OH at the pub, and he asked for my number as hed seen me a few times but nevr had the courage to talk to the that night. I gave him my digits then his parting words to me as i walked away to go home was im not a complete B***rd. LOL I think wolk up in the morning to 2 missed calls from a number texted to see who it was and the rest is history 5 years together this xmas x
I met my OH the day we both started a new job together.
I couldn't stand him at first - i thought he was an arrogant twat and I had a fiance of 7 years. After a few weeks we found ourselves at another colleague's house for drinks and hit it off much better and he told me how he wished i was single as he would ask me out. I politely declined.
After chatting much more and then an impulsive trip to edinburgh, I found that I didn't want to leave his company, and being inebriated managed to "miss" my train home...I ended up at his house but didnt sleep with him. We met up a few times at other parties, nights out etc and I realised this was something huge. We ended up sleeping together, even though I was with someone else, and it just hit me like a freight train how much I wanted to be with him. I had denied it to myself for a long time, convincing yself i was happy in my long term relationship and how this new guy was only a fling....he convinced me otherwise :)
We are now still crazy about each other, if not more and I realise this is how a relationship is meant to - madness, passion and much happiness.
Although no where near as troubled as you abacus, my OH saved me, and my soul, too.
I met my OH online... after a day of chatting we met up got on like a house on fire, and don't tell him but it felt like i'd known him for AGES when we first met!!! It went from a one nighter to a weekend to what we have now.
2 years later we're doing fantastic and I couldn't honestly be happier with how my life is at the moment. I've never felt so chilled and comfortable with someone although I do admit to trying to run before I can walk with the relationship, I am happy to plod along at his pace.
I love that I wake up to and fall asleep sleep with him. I also love the fact he makes me smile daily even when it's been a terrible day, something he does with make me laugh. Couldn't ask for anyone better.
i met my partner last year hyking in wales with a camping group we are both members of. we had never met before but on the first night i sat on his lap (this isnt uncomon on these camps- its just compyer and cosyer than the ground and) he kept saying sorry evry time he moved - i found it really annoying and i dont think i even knew his name at that point. the next day i sat on someone elces lap (he told me later how jelous this made him) but the night after that i sat on his lap again. over the last fiew days i found that i would push myself to struggle up every hill just to walk by him and wanted so much to hold his hand. we still didnt know the other liked us when we were waiting on a camp sight by the bank of the wistrith (as in abberwistreth) i kept sneaking closer as we lay thir with my hand spread on the gras, my eyes closed, hoping he would snuggle up to me or hold my hand but i think we were both a bit shy. that night tho we both eventualy worked out that we both liked eachother and snuggled and kissed infront of the fire. we spent the next day getting to know eachother and sneaking time together away from the others down on the river bank, puting a shelter up and sitting up a trea that hung over the river. it was beauitiful, simple and innocent. exactly what i wanted after years of messing around and rushing into things. on the last night we shaired a tent but didnt do anything more than cuddle (it was too cold and i was on my period) when we had to go home we were both really sad and thought we would never see eachother as we live in different parts of the contry. we talked on facebook lots after that and i sugested i visit. i stayed at his for the weekend and on the first night we had sex. it was his first time and my second. it was lovely and we were so pleased to be together again.
I'm going to sound like a total geek but I find it amusing!
I met my first boyfriend at school, we were together three and a half years he got me into online gaming and we would play World of Warcraft together. It was on this game I met my second boyfriend.
I met my second boyfriend 6 months after we met on WoW when he came to visit with some mates of his I'd known online for longer. We only lived a 3 hour drive away from each other and were together for two years.
My current boyfriend also played the game! (Starting to seem like a bit of a trend??). I met his house mates through work and they introduced us knowing of my gaming experience (haha) all I can say is we hit it off and have been together since then, coincidently his housemate's ex and still good friend is a university friend of mine, its a small world ;)
these are all fantastic its nice to hear other peoples memories :)

As Theolain is my husband this is how we met, although not as romantic I didn't intend to end up in a relationship i thought it might just be a bit of fun but happily he won me round with his sexiness ;)
