After my very first date with my now-wife, I called up an old friend to tell him I’d just gone on my first date with the woman I was going to marry.
I didn’t dislike her, but she admits to being initially put-off by my resistance to authority, my know-it-all demeanor, and my social brusqueness (she was my boss at the time). It didn’t take me long, though, to win her over–though I personally had no idea that’s what I actually did until a full year later. Dense, I was (and continue to be on occasion). Dense, but very lucky. 
My wife’s first words to me were, “Will you please shut the fuck up!” and not in a friendly, jovial way.
I met both my SO and her girl friend at the same time.
That night, I ended up with the girlfriend because she looked easy.
…and she was.
35th wedding anniversary coming up.
Woah, details, Fiveyearlurker?
We were at a sporting event. My recollection is that I was clapping my hands lightly and proclaiming, “Cheerio, have a good game, fine chaps!” when all of a sudden this mean woman starts screaming at me that I’m being obnoxious. I tried to assure her that I was just expressing my desires that both teams enjoy themselves on such a fine day, but to no avail.
She remembers it slightly differently.
My wife and I knew each other for about 6 years before we started dating. We were pretty much mortal enemies for the first 4.5 years. We couldn’t stand each other. We always fought, had nothing in common, and generally didn’t agree on anything. At all. I think because she never backed down, and always stood for what she believed was right, that I started to admire her (I also grew up a lot!). So after 4.5 years of bitter battling, I took a chance and asked her on a date. She said yes, and we have now been married for almost nine years!
We still have nothing in common by the way! But we both love that about our relationship.
Well, I just woved my hubby when I met him. But then I met his I hat.
He never seemed to take it off. It smelled. Bad. Now after 8yrs of marriage, it is retired/replaced…but every so often he wonders where it is and points an accusing finger at me asking if I threw out his I hat. I was tempted. BELIEVE ME.
well, my girlfriend told me more than once that I was a slimey worm. Yes, we had a love /hate relationship. We dated for two years and got married. After Seven years we both had enough. We do have a wonderful 14 year old daughter between us though!
