Married women: before you met your current SO, what did you imagine/expect your future spouse to be like, and how does your current spouse compare to that expectation?

Not married yet, but will be very soon!

I initially never thought I'd get married because I was very shy and afraid of men. I also had (and still have) a fear of being pregnant (no babies for this girl!).

When puberty hit, it was the mid/late 90s, and I was into buff guys with blonde spikey hair (paging Lance Bass). Then I hit my emo phase, and was obsessed with punk rock guys and skater boys I saw at Hot Topic.

My high school sweet heart was a nerd, and ended up being a mega-abusive douche who cheated on me repeatedly. I thought I would marry him, but I finally wised up and moved on. I found myself falling for "bad boys" who had all the charisma but none of the emotional capacity.

Then I met HIM. He was chubby, bearded, and 10 years older than me with two kids. He's NOTHING like the guys I liked before. I didn't "burn out" with him through an infatuation phase like I had with every other guy I dated... we took our time, became good friends first. He was patient with me, unafraid to show emotion, very gentle, but very honest. A mega geek for anime, D&D, and pro wrestling (none of which I had initially had any interest in).

Best decision of my life.
