Well we're not married but we'll be getting married as soon as we have the resources, and we have our baby together. I will just say BF.
It was sort of weird, really. When I was placed in foster care at the age of 13, I of course met a lot of new people. People I was to think of as "family" and whatnot. I'm going to call my foster/adopted mom, mom. We were over my mom's parent's house quite occasionally. They had a younger son that was right about my age, and we were friends. We hung out and did whatever whenever I had to come over there. Sometimes when I came over, he would have his own friends over. My BF was one of them who was over often enough for me to see him at least momentarily. I'd have to say we never really hung out, but we got to know each other enough over the few times we saw each other to know that we at least made good friends. Now that we're older, we have both admitted to each other that we had crushes at the time (on each other lol). This was when I was 14 and he was 15.
When I was 15, closer to 16, he moved away with his parents. He was always a troubled kid. Got into all the wrong stuff with all the wrong people, you know. Although I put up the kind of front that made people think I was a trouble maker (all the dark makeup and black clothes and spikey bracelets lol), I was actually a really good kid and rarely ever got into trouble. So anyway, since nothing ever happened there, I got a boyfriend when I was 16 and I really liked him, we were together for a year. I've always been really serious about love, even as a kid. I always wanted the real thing, no messing around. Anyway although I had a boyfriend I loved, I talked to BF over the internet via AIM like I did to all my other friends. So we did keep in contact, and I must admit we exchanged a few flirting words. He also had a girlfriend at the time. That boyfriend eventually broke up with me, mostly because I was TOO serious I guess, and I was sad and all. At the time BF was talking about moving back to where I lived, but soon after he mentioned it my computer broke down.
I didn't hear from him for a long time, and I didn't really have another boyfriend until I was 18. Guys liked me, but I was wary of relationships. Next thing I know, my mom is giving me a ride somewhere, and I see BF out the window walking down the street. I couldn't believe it! And boy had he changed. He really got like 10xs more attractive since I'd last seen him lol. But I never really talked to him. The funny thing was that some other friends of mine had asked me to a group movie a couple of times that involved him going and that excited me but I wasn't allowed to go. My mom was strict.
I worked at the wal mart down the street from my house, and it was close enough to walk to, so of course that's what I had to do. One day I was walking home (looking pretty shabby I might add), and a car swerved off the road and right up to me, behind where I was walking. It startled me to say the least. However, it was BF and he yelled "Raia!" out the window "Do you want a ride home?" Even though I hardly needed it since I was close, I got in the car with him and a mutual friend of ours named Jeff. When I got in he pretty much asked me if I wanted to see a movie. Stupid as I am, thinking someone like BF would never want to go on a date with me, I asked "Sure! What do you guys want to go see?" Suggesting we go with friends. But of course he didn't mean it that way.
We were dating a couple days later, it was real cute because I felt nervous to call him and he didn't have my number so he just kept coming in to wal mart while I was working and asking me out. I guessed by then that he was serious. I snuck out in the middle of the night all the time to see him. My parents didn't like him, so I did a lot without asking. I would call it very romantic, but it's hard to describe.
We've been together for 3 years and we've always been very close. He's my best friend.
