I’m married to my high school bully. AMA

She was the ‘popular girl’ in high school and I was the super tall, awkward lesbian. We were on the volleyball team together and she would always get onto me for messing up. She was never friendly to me and would always leave me out of things intentionally. I hated her personality but always had the hots for her and fantasized about her despite her treatment of me. She was beautiful and everything I wasn’t - cool and confident.

I was one year above her throughout high school, I graduated in 2015 and her in 2016. During my senior year, I made some big plays during a big game and she sort of began warming up to me. After school one day, I walked past she and her boyfriend as they were getting into a huge argument. He was getting into her face and nobody else was around. I could feel something really bad was about to happen so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I walked over to him and told him to back off. Surprisingly, he did (perks to being 6’4 and therefore bigger than most guys). He called me some choice words and went on his way.

I asked her if she was okay and she immediately thanked me for interfering. I could tell she was shaken up so I offered to give her a ride home, which she accepted. Turns out she lived just down the street from me. She thanked me again and we began a friendship. She apologized for the way she had treated me, saying she was just playing it up for the other girls and that she had matured beyond that.

Long story short, I eventually confessed my feelings towards her and she admitted that she had developed similar feelings towards me. It was confusing for her because she had never been attracted to another woman before, so it took her some time to accept it. We started dating in 2016 and I proposed in February of 2018. We married last September and are currently expecting a baby together. Does that cover it?
