Getting married after knowing each other for only a fewhours does seem odd, but I have a story.
After WWII, my dad’s submarine stopped in New Orleans on theway home. While at a table drinking with his Navy shipmates my mom and hersister walked by the table. My dad looked at his buddies and pointing to my momtold them that is the woman I am going to marry. Literally, love at firstsight. He proposed two weeks later and here I am.
They were married until their deaths until a few years ago.Only time will tell.
Six years in and counting! Still enthusiastically married. @50statecuddlr wants it to be known we are also still cuddling. We are still living in a camper but leaning more and more toward settling down with land and a house.
I want to flesh out our story a bit to clarify the role this site played in it, and my intentions for using it.
So this site was where we first found out about each other. I was absolutely not on here for anything other than platonic cuddles. To the best of my knowledge, neither was my husband. We were up front about our intentions. I'd only been on the cuddle-scene (is that a thing?) a few months. I had one other cuddle date but it was not through this site. I was very clear about my intentions to my future husband, and had some very direct questions for him. I figure if you're going to meet a stranger for the intimacy of even platonic cuddling, you need to be up front from the beginning.
Long story short (and only in part), I'd I wanted to travel the states full-time in an RV of some sort. @50statecuddlr was already doing that, having done most of the conversion work himself on his vehicle and camper. I knew nothing about solar but needed to; he had put together his solar charging system himself. He had serious knowledge and experience I needed. We messaged sporadically for ~2 months before he decided he was putting my location on his trip itinerary for a cuddle date and full-time RVing education fest. We exchanged phone numbers at that point.
Once we started texting and talking, a second common interest came up - spiritual experiences. I won't go into it here (many more details on our blog), but in less than two weeks of intermittent conversation, there were some incontrovertible signs this person was going to be The Person for me. Feelings (falling in love) and all the relationship stuff (getting to know each other) would have to get sorted along the way. This was pretty much inevitable. We exchanged numbers on a Monday afternoon. We discovered the second commonality, discussed our separate pasts and current situations in much more detail, and by the following week I'm pretty sure we both knew where this was going. Two Mondays after exchanging numbers, we'd been married one full day.
As far as modern society, conventional wisdom, and vigilant mothers' best advice go, this whole thing is BIZARRE. Bizarre that it worked. Bizarre that neither of us got hurt. Bizarre that we are still together. I'm talking off-the-charts borderline unbelievable. And I'm LIVING it! But it's real, and it happened.
I realize we are “off the market” for cuddles – but I hesitate to take our accounts down. Nostalgia? The site is an integral part of our story. Leaving a bit of positivity on the often-gloomy internet? I acknowledge there is little rational reason to maintain our accounts... perhaps one day we will bow out.
Until then – happy cuddling! Be safe, know your boundaries, and communicate, communicate, communicate!
Hooray! I'd heard of this story, but I'd never seen this thread or known any details. It's quite thrilling to discover that it really is true, and to get some more details. Thank you for telling us.
Please keep your accounts open for as long as you are comfortable doing so. You are part of Cuddle Comfort history!
When I read the first comment, without noticing the date, I was skeptical and waiting for the punchline. But of course, anything is possible! It does happen that over a period of 2 months you both recognized you were meant to be together. (It happened to me and my ex in 2 months also and met through a personal ad way back before the internet!) So happy for you both and hope you have a long happy life together.
