I was on a break @ work & we started talking about 7 years ago. We were both involved & I had a live in @ the time & asked her out anyway (very unlike me) she said something like "fvck no" when she realized I had a live in (I couldn't lie to her even back then).
I had a pretty spectacular motorcycle accident & was off from work 6 weeks, healing up, broke up with live in & asked wife out via work e-mail when I returned to work (big no-no where we work).
"Broke left arm, seven ribs, & collapsed left lung, and am single now, do you want to go out?"
She said yes, dumped the guy she's been meaning to break up with & we dated for 1 year, engaged for 1 year married ~5 years now.
