Yes, and she snagged me! After we started going together, I continued to renew my lease for almost five more years - and she wasn't too thrilled about that. I had previously been in situations where I'd given up apartments to "shack-up", and then had to start from square one when the relationship(s) went south. My wife is different, though. She didn't want kids, wasn't crazy or over-critical, and for some reason was able to put up with my peculiarities and eccentricities. I remember going on a vacation with her, after were seeing each other for a year or so. I predicted that we wouldn't last a week in a hotel room together. I also predicted, based on my previous record, that our relationship wouldn't last 3 months. Boy, was I wrong there! :dance:
