My story: How I got my ex back.

I know it sounds corny, but my wife and I have known each other since sixth grade and I have been in love with her since the day she sat down beside me in Mr. Fields’ class all those years ago. But we haven’t been without our problems. I mean come on now…grade six was a long time ago. We’ve gone through a lot of living and a lot of ups and downs since Mr. Fields and our love that came together over the Bunsen burner.

We got together. We broke up. We got together. We broke up.

You get the picture.

As we matured and grew up it became obvious to both of us that this was more than just an adolescent crush. Our relationship was something to hold onto. Wanting to hold on, and actually doing it are two different things, especially when our relationship started when we were so young. We still had college and long distances to overcome.

My wife, girlfriend at the time, decided to go away to college. I just wanted to stay home and get to the business of making money. While I toiled away at a $20 an hour job building up my bank account, my girlfriend was in another town, building up her brain.

Our lives were very, very different and for the first time since sixth grade, we grew apart.

It was gradual and silent. But it was happening.

I was working long, hard hours at a laborious job. She was studying until the early hours of the morning. We were simply too tired to notice that something was happening.

It could have been the nail in the coffin of our relationship. It could have been the end of our special friendship. It could have been…

But I didn’t let it.

I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this girl. I knew that if I didn’t do something drastic, the path that I had laid out for myself would veer sharply down a road I didn’t want to go.

So, I quit my job, took a paycut and moved to be close to the woman that I loved.

I made sacrifices for what was important. I knew that she meant more to me than any job no matter how well it paid. I knew that she meant more to me than any apartment, buddy or hobby that I had. I knew that if I didn’t take action I would regret it for the rest of my life.

I fought hard to get her back. I called her every day, no matter how tired I was. I never broke a date or a promise. She was my number one priority.

It was a sacrifice. But do you know what? It paid off. We have been happily married for five years and not a day goes by that I don’t thank the Lord that she and I are together.

The moral of the story…?
