So lucky to have such good men!!!

My DH and I met on a blind date set up by my Gma, on Halloween night! When I saw him I didn't want to go out with him but had to he was already there. Not because he was ugly but because he was a cowboy. By the end of the date we were talking about where we wanted to get married and I was telling him what I wanted my ring to look like. He told me that my grandma wanted to set him up with one of my cousins and I flat told him he needs to tell my grandma no. He told me that was my job because it was my grandma. 9 mos later to the day we were married.
Probably not the wisest idea because we did end up divorced, but then a year later we got remarried. Pathetic, I know. But things are as perfect as they can be, not counting the whole infertility crap.
Before we got married we talked about having a family and it was very important to him so I flat out told him, "You may want to marry someone else if you really want them biologically yours. I haven't had a period since the 9th grade and I may not ever be able to give you a family."
He gave me a big hug and said he didn't mind adopting, but he did mind living his life without me.
I love my man!!!

I met my DH working in a seafood restaurant a few months after moving to FL when I was 18, he was 23. He was not my type at all and I turned him down several times before I finally said yes! I am so glad I did though, because I fell in love with him that night! After we got comfortable together I told him I knew that there was something not right about my body (b/c of my periods). Several months later I was diagnosed and he was more than supportive. He picks a me about my belly hairs and chin hairs and acne...but he has helped me to realize I'm beautiful regardless! Give the guy a chance that you wouldn't normally give a chance...that's my advice!! They just might suprise you!

I met my DH at an Exxon, we both had pulled into the gas pumps at the same time,I saw him and thought he was super hott, but went in and paid for my gas, he followed me in and we kinda exchanged a "how you doin'" look. I was feeling good with the random flirting when I went to pull out of the gas station and he pulled up beside me with a huge grin on his face. We exchanged numbers and went out shortly after and we have been together ever since.
It has been hard for him with my PCOS, he desperately wants biological children (I do too) but he has been super supportive and is right there with me for every appt./treatment. He is going to be a perfect father to our future children, I can't wait to see him in action!!

I enjoy reading about all the stories of woman who have found great guys who can look past the acne, little extra weight and excess hair, to who you (we) really are as women. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe one day I will be able to find that type of man too.

Keep them coming!!!! =)

We met at my cousins race in the states, I saw him and was immediately attracted, the rest is amazing history! We've been together now for 8.5 years and married for almost 5

I love him more than anything (well he and our kids lol). He has been an awesome support system. I was diagnosed when we were TTC our 1st babe, it was VERY hard on me, I knew I was the reason and I took it very very hard. I never did feel the "full" effects of PCOS until after our daughter was born and was about 9mths old. When our DS was 9mths old I hadn't had a cycle in 3mths and somehow wound up pregnant (after we had been told by an ultrasound it was the PCOS why I wasn't having a cycle and that I couldn't get pregnant on my own...) so our kids are 18mths less a week, exactly. I wouldn't have it any other way. He has been a huge support system for me. When our DD was 9-10 mths I started feeling more 'off' and not right. Ive always had issues with IBS as well. By the time I was supposed to come back to work I was crying every day and just didn't feel like myself. He encouraged me to go see the Dr and get my hormones checked out. Everything was ok, I am also on an iron pill a day as well as my Eltroxin for my thyroid (hypothyroidism) and she put me on an anti-depressant, starts with a C. Its made wonders for me. I feel like ME again, I am sleeping again. Anyway he has been such a great support, he truly is my best friend. I have had a rough road with "friends" and to be honest do not have many at all. When I need support I turn to my DH, mom and sister. I only have 1 true girlfriend I would trust and we dont get to see them much. Ive been burned a lot. I am truly greatful for him

I met my husband through my best friend.. Her & I grew up in boston & she moved to Maine (5 hours away) our JR. year of high school... That summer I went up there to visit her and fell hard and fast for her cousin Gary who was a dog might I add... he cheated on me and I called my DH's cell phone looking for Gary (he was garys best friend) and he wouldn't let me talk to him.. all he kept saying is no you need to talk to me he doesnt deserve you.. your to good for him... I had only met him once when he was with Gary to see me.. and we only talked for about hm... 5 seconds.. but that night on the phone we really clicked.. all he kept saying was I knew the second I seen you.. I was going to be with you foreve.. at first I wanted nothing to do with him.. come on how cheesey was his line?? He didn't even know me.. I wanted to talk to Gary.. but after a few we really started talking and before you knew it I was heading up there to visit him.. He had just lost his dad about 5 months before hand and was a mess... but I stayed for about a week.. & called my mom told her I was moving out came home grab my things and moved in with him.. He was very into drugs and drinking due to the fact that he basicly had no one... only child not close to his mom and had lost his dad.. but I wasn't into that kind of stuff and would have none of that... I helped him to be sobber and see that he wasnt alone and that i need and loved him for him not anything else.. he had gotten a little bit of money when his dad died and EVERYONE was crawling out of the wood work to be his friend.. I didn't even know he had money until after we got pregenant (3 weeks later.. we got lucky.. & I didn't even know until I was about 5 months) and moved back to boston(about 3 months later) and he helped me more then he had known.. I hated living with my family they brought out the worst in me and I was very depressed & he helped me through that with out even knowing.. we have been together 5 years now & going strong!!

I believe with all of my heart his dad sent me to him.. I saved his life.. (he had ODed 3 times and died all 3 and they kept bring him back) Our daughter was consived on his dad's birthday and was born 6 months to the day of the day he died.. Niel (my DH's dad) always wanted a little girl and I believe he sent Livvy to us! We belong together!

As for the PCOS.. well I wasn't fat when he met me.. I was.. hm... normal.. and he liked that.. I have never really had bad hair or acne.. *knock on wood* so that wasn't really a problem either.. he is very good with all of it! I have gained a LOT of weight since having my daughter and get very moody and sensitive all the time and he deals with that too.. we are now really TTC our 2nd and have been since march.. no luck though.. He's okay with that as well.. he worries mostly about how I'm feeling.. which is nice! I think the hardest thing he has trougble with is that I bleed FOREVER... months and months with no stop.. and he worried.. and is always trying to help..

All in all I am so lucky.. he is my best friend.. my soul mate.. I'd be lost with out him!
