This was interesting and well written. The caring part is so important in a relationship, and you spent enough time to realize what this man was all about and be about to overlook him being overly verbal. Those other ladies at the singles were the losers.

"What may have frightened them away, drew my curiosity." - and there we have it: there is someone for everyone. People are so different; you both found the one to complement your lives together. Your story gave me quite a clear picture of your personalities... you with empathy and him with a caring and gentle soul.

Comments:

He started up the Gatling gun again with words spelling (spilling?) out so rapidly

(I thought he had covered every subject!) but I agreed. I don't think you need the brackets here.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your descriptions about how you and your husband met. My boyfriend is quite a talker himself, so I could relate. I found some elements of your story endearing and charming. Other elements, I found humorous, like when the fresh fish scared away the would-be sharks. LOL! I also liked your comparison of him talking like a Gatling gun. Very nice!

Nice story about love and patience. A sentiment that is based on respect :"Admittedly, I am no longer as an attentive listener and often get caught after one of his long orations. He will ask me. "what do you think" and I have not heard a word! " Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This is a poignant and unique story of the first meeting of a couple. It is well written and your illustration pairs well. It shows how fate sometimes throws the right people together. Nicely done.

It's funny how we both meet and get married, and in fact what keeps us together, perhaps that's almost like an arrangement, our kids go a long way in cementing that aspect. But need is a big thing, he just needed someone to listen, and you needed someone reliable. Well done, beautifully written, blessings, Roy

After 35 years of a kind and caring person, I would say you found a keeper. Sometimes, we all pass judgement too quickly on people just trying to fit in while stuck in an uncomfortable environment. Thanks for sharing.
