8. About 18 years ago, a woman fell in love with me.

As they say, there's no accounting for taste.

Nonetheless, for her, I was the real deal. She was in love, and I could see it.

So, I knew she would always be good to me; always be nice.

Over time, I saw that she treated everyone this way! There were no exceptions.

That's when I fell in love with her.

We've been together a long time. We married four years ago. Best thing I ever did with my life.
