According to a recent survey on the news the other night it was revealed most married couples meet each other at work and I am just curious if this is the same case with most couples in other countries such as America and the UK and where did you meet your partner? I met my Wife through one of my sister’s friends who was her best friend too and most people I know met their partners through their friends and family which is why I was surprised by the results of the survey. I also know a lot of people that won’t date people they work with because they are worried it will make things awkward if they have a bad break up.

I met my hubby at work and we have been married 34 years ... it seemed so right to me that I didn't worry about the break-up issue. Glad I listened to my gut.

I met my husband online. I don't know many people who have met their spouse at work but I have heard of many affairs that occur between co - workers.

I don't know if the study was a worldwide or USA-study, so I'll start by telling that i live in Norway.
met him at sea..

I was 16 and in a relationship with a 17 year old guy (Dated on and of, mostly on, for 2 years). Who frequently cheated and sometimes hit me. And most of the time controlled me and psycologically abused me.

I decided to go on a boat trip with my parents boat (Got to love the norwegian fjords) since we had an arguement and I needed some alonetime, and the only place I was allowed this was with my parents.

I was relaxing in our boat an evening, while my parents where sitting at the pier with other friends.
Suddenly a guy appears in our boat, my age and ask if i'd like to join them for a card game in their boat.

I accepted. Turned out it was three boys, two 17 year olds and one 18. and his father. we played games, laughed and had fun. Two of the guys flirted alot with me, but I had really started to like one of them.

I told that I was in a relationship, but I gave him my number. Later that evening the guys decided to take the dinghy out to go out on town. But my dad didn't let me join them (Go figure )

At 3 in the morning I get a call from the guy I liked and had given my nr to. He tells me that they had been stopped by the police because they didn't have the neccecary lights on the dinghy and are not allowed to travel until sun is up.

I wake my mom, and then i go over to the other guys dad, to borrow a flashlight. So then my mom and I take our dinghy over, with an extra light for them to hold up. And we race back together having a great time of fun in the night.
My dad less happy when we got back, I guess he thought that they could have stayed there the next 3 hours until sunlight came

Next day I ride back home with them, since my parents decided to stay one more day. And we kept in contact...

He gave me the strenght to leave my ex, because finally I saw that I was worth having friends, or I saw that OTHERS found me worthy, because I had been told too many times by my ex that i wasn't, so i believed it.

1 month after our first meet I broke up with my now ex.
2 months later we met again for the second time (we had only had contact on sms and chat)
and he kissed me.
2 weeks after that, we where together, and have been since.

A gentleman who helped me out of a relationship by proving he would be my friend. And a guy I came to really love after that...

We have had our turbulent times, and we'll have more. But I am confident it is us. Forever...

I lived in one town, he in another. just 15 minutes away from me with car.
A fresh start, a lot of new friends and a wonderful life... Away from destructive ex'es and non-friends and lost friends.

Which time?

She knew who I was in high school. A lot of people did because of the state powerlifting championships. There was a bunch of us that the school didn't support that went on our own and won.

Once community college rolled around, she got to know my mom because they worked next door to each other and then she started dating a friend of mine. So we shared a "Hey, how's it goin?" thing while they dated, but knew who each other was.

I went off to Kansas State University and came back on summer to work refurbishing a hotel. She worked at the front desk of said hotel. So there was more, "Hey, how's it goin? You still dating my friend? Cool!"

Well she broke up with him, but stayed friends with my buddies. Years later I drove home for a friend's birthday and I had just gotten my Trans-Am (WS-6) broken in and could actually hot-rod it. She, being a mutual friend, was there and asked for a ride in my car. I took her out on a deserted road where I could really open it up and that car had so much punch it knocked her purse over in my car.

We all hung out that evening and I drove back to Texas where I was living. The next day I was cleaning out the Trans-Am and found an earring in it. A weird, big loop earring. I called my mom and asked if she had dropped it and she said she didn't have any loop earrings. So I call Mrs. Webgoji and asked if she had lost a loop earring and she said she hadn't either, but dumped out her purse because she did have some loop earrings. Lo and behold, one was missing.

I offered to mail it to her or I could just drive to Oklahoma and bring it to her. She went with the later offer. So I drove her earring to her and it went from there.

A coworker introduced me to my boyfriend - they were business partners. He set us up to keep my boyfriend from going back to his toxic ex (I learned later).
Thanks for this!
