Fish Crazy
Sounds so silly, but it's true!
I'm engaged to a guy that I actually went to high school with, but we didn't know one another. Then he showed up at my work with a friend of his and we saw one another and you know what happened next.
I was leary about dating him because I didn't know if we would have anything in common and in high school he was a trouble maker, but a few years in the big world can really change a person.
And I remember one of our first conversations over the computer and I told him I was on "Fishville" (for those who don't know its a game on Facebook) And he responded, "I have Cichlids." And I was like, "Really? On the game?" Him: "No. I have real African Cichlids. I just got them."
Funny how things play out. So during our first few weeks of dating he bought me a gorgeous Betta and we split my 5.5 gallon tank. We bought a bumblebee cichlid later on and added it to his tank with the others. Then the bumblebee grew large and evil and he's still one of our favorites! Then he bought a house in early May. And we went on a cruise a few weeks ago and he bought me an engagement ring.
And between each other we have 6 tanks. A 55 gallon with the African cichlids, a 10 gallon QT, 10 gallon breeder, 37 community, 5.5 betta tank, and my 29 that is still not occupied.
Right now we're having to limit how much we spend on fish though and it's killing us!!! We have to save up for the honeymoon and wedding and such and we're suffering from MTS!!!!!

It just so happens to be I was in an emotionally distraught relationship before I "re-met" my now fiance. It wasn't going well, but he was my friend so I stayed in the relationship anyway even though when he did wrong he would twist everything I said and make me seem the one who was wrong. He could get inside your head.
