Ditto (and thank God!No (thank the good Lord) I did not.
I did marry the man I met my first year in college though.
) on both counts! Mom (86) will still say every so often (now 30 years later) "Thank God you didn't marry Mike." 
We have a huge age gap. I was mature for my age and he was just finding himself, We have been married 17 years in Oct and been through some of the worst things imaginable. I can't believe what a good guy I picked at such a young age, I am indeed blessed, he has taken care of me in every sense of the word. A few weeks ago he heated the pool up and planned a date and downloaded music from our second honeymoon in Jamaica and I made and served pina coladas. The kids were at school and we just enjoyed each others company. It was all very romantic that he put that much thought into it after all these years. If I told you some of the stuff I had put him through you would wonder why he is still with me. But I picked a keeper and wake up everyday happy to see him and wait up almost every night for him to get home.
