He's my ex-spouse now, but we met when my car blew its radiator at a stop sign and I left it to go call for help. He was a police officer and wondered who had abandoned a car at a stop sign. He was standing by my car when I got back and found out we lived in the same apartment complex. And that was that.
We worked in different areas.I was constantly seeing him at meetings and conventions. One day besides saying 'HI' we talked about something other than work. The rest in over 30 years of history together.
