How did you 2 meet?
College
What was the relationship like initially?
Fun. Sexual. Lots of fighting over stupid stuff. She was different so I stuck around despite troubles. I thought she was a huge **** to be honest. But she was smart, motivated, and she stood up to me. At first it was a problem, but after a while, it seemed like it was a good trait. If aimed in the proper direction, its a good trait to have in a wife. Even though things didn't match up completely, things were "aligned" in the same direction. We expected the same things out of life so it worked.
Where did you meet?
College, in class. I was a class act and a die hard romantic so the first time we hung out outside of class was at my fraternity house during a party where we enjoyed Natural Light and the cheapest vodka money can buy. I'm a real sweatheart and she knew right away since I offered to guard the door while she peed in our bathrooms which had open toilets with no dividing walls/stalls. Toilet paper was a rarity so I let her borrow my private stash. Our first real date was at a Denny's a couple days later. I let her know right away I was into chivalry when I picked up the $20 tab, which was about a quarter of the money in my bank account at the time.
Did the ENTJ in the relationship have walls/not let you in easily? How did you break through the walls/prove yourself?
She did so by picking me up drunk from parties, taking me back to her house off campus, leaving me no option but to bond with her until she decided to drive me back. Also, emotions flow a bit more when I'm intoxicated so that must have helped. Not joking either - to this day if I drink a lot of beer and we kiss, she says the smell of beer on my breath reminds her of college and when we first started dating. I've been in talks with Nicholas Sparks for his next romance novel and movie deal.
What is your story?
I think I pretty much summed it up. To add though, relationships take work. They build over time and you have to give it a chance. Love at first sight is BS. So is true love. Just find someone you can put up with and have good times with for the rest of your life.
And I know I trivialized me and my wife's story by emphasizing how reluctant I was, and how often I was intoxicated, but those weren't the best times. The best times were when I would do that in the middle of winter, get stranded there for a full weekend, us walking to the grocery store in snow, coming back and cooking food, making chocolate covered strawberries, and watching rented movies. Or, apartment searching in a new city. Stuff like that.
