How Much have you changed since you met your FW/FH?
For me… I have changed a lot. Without going TOO MUCH into it… let’s just say that I was in a VERY bad relationship before I met Jackie. I was trapped. My life was miserable. Mentally, Physically, financially… when I met Jackie, my life turned around. I know that sounds so corny, and scripted… but it’s the truth. I like to refer to these few years as the black hole of my life. I really can’t remember about them. I turned away my friends, my family… it was an absolute nightmare
Then I met Jackie. And at first I thought it was so great being around her because it was simply just new. But that “newness” never actually went away. I started hanging out with my old friends again… and they have all told me how much I have changed for the better. I looked happier, I felt happier, I acted happier. I suddenly gained back my confidence that I hadn’t heard from in over 5 years. My financial troubles were fixed because Jackie put me in line and set up my finances for me. She put me on track with a lot of things. My priorities were all out of whack before I met her, and now I see them perfectly clear.
As much as I love Jackie for who she is, I think I love her even more for what she did for me. She made me feel like I was someone special; she made me feel good about myself. I haven’t felt things like this for years. I honestly don’t know where I would be had Jackie and I never started dating. But everyday that I look at her, I think about all this, and it solidifies all my sincere feelings I have for her, and it solidifies the decision I made to ask her to marry me.

Re: QOTD - 12/10 - Groom (sorry)
I guess like everyone else I was in some bad relationships. One for 3 years where I was cheated on, one for 6 months and the girl went on a college boat trip (it was a 4month trip for her major) and she cheated on me...then dated 2 (not at a time) where the girls wouldnt leave me alone when i told them i didnt want to get into a relationship. Gaby has made me better by not cheating on me. I know that sounds funny but i had no trust in anyone, not even my friends. She told me to trust her and I did. Dont ask why i just did.
Also i wasnt big on doing things i have never done. She was in the Theater group on campus and got me to go down and do sound for the show. then the next show they got me to do lights.
and last is I was never big in going out for anything. She loved going out. I think we have both changed....we go out....just not that much...lol

Re: QOTD - 12/10 - Groom (sorry)
Ok so gotta be careful how to word this but as all of you have said FH has made me a better person for SOOOOO many reasons but the biggest thing I think he has done for me is allowed me to appreciate all that I have had growing up.
I have 2 wonderful parents, and and amazing and large extended family, while he only has his mom since dad passed away when he was 13, and his brother (his dads family was jewish and didnt aprove of his dad marrying his catholic mom and after the dad passed literally wrote the family off, gave them a check and never kept in contact)
My parents have always been able to support me emotionally and financially at every point of my life. FMIL never really had that much $$ so fh has provided for himself for quite some time. Also FH is sorta treated like robert barrone on everybody loves raymond while his brother is identical to raymond.
This has given me a new outlook in life and has really allowed me to be thankful for all the people and opportunities I have had in my life
