Police Officer and ER Nurse

Share Your Story: How did you meet your partner?

From Suzanne

Where I met my partner?

I was working as an ER nurse in a small East Texas Town. She is a Police Officer, and she came in the ER one when we called to get help with a drunk who was tearing the place apart. I was blown away by her the first time I saw her.

How we fell in love

The first few times we got together were all about sex. We were both just coming out of not so great relationships, and didn't want to dive right back in to something serious. It didn't work though. It took us almost a year to move in together, and we've been together every since. (7 years now)

Advice

  • Don't look too hard. When you're looking for "the right one" you tend to overlook all the things that tell you she's the "wrong" one.
  • Fill your life with the things you love to do. Pretty soon you'll notice that there's this one person who just always seems to be there when you're laughing.

Great advice! Your story sounds like it came straight out of a TV drama. Love it!
