My fiance and I met through my ex best-friend. I came up to visit her right after my kids were born to get a weekend away. My boyfriend of 5 years had just left me so I really needed a pick me up. They worked together and she introduced us. They actually started dating soon afterwards and he and i talked constantly. Not long after she became immersed deeply into drugs and took a total turn for the worst and left us both. We stayed close and eventually began a physical relationship.... It took him 3 months of casual dating to talk me into making it formal and becoming boyfriend/girlfriend. That week I met his mom and helped her paint his little sisters room, which got me mom's approval and the circle was complete when Joe fixed my grandmother's computer..
