Wheeee! I love my story!
I actually tried to join exmormon(dot)org in mid-2009, but the process in place at the time involved entering my email address, and I kept typing in my real life main email address, and I kept getting the message, "not a valid email address." I finally gave up and joined another site.
I was quite active there. I was also married. But five months after that, in Dec., 2009 my marriage took a hit from which it did not recover, try though I might. She'd gotten in touch with her first husband after finding out that he was RICH! She took her time and moved out at Thanksgiving, 2010. The divorce wasn't unexpected, the chicanery involved was brutal and expensive.
In January of 2011, a young friend on that other site said, "You should join Facebook; you'll be able to meet all kinds of eligible ladies!"
I created an EOD FB account and through the EXMOs on the other site soon had over a 100 friends. And many of them had friends from here and I began to notice a certain young lady's comments on our mutual friends' 'walls.' I soon friended her, she accepted, and nine months later, we had a baby! No, no, of course not! She'd been an RfM'er for years and years. But I still didn't join, or even visit here...
It turned out that we although we are opposites in just about everything, we are a great team. We are proof that opposites can attract. We finally met on 10/08/2011 when I showed up at her town's library, with $1,000 and a gun. You know how impetuous Lamanites can be... But she totally disarmed me!
It wasn't all skittles and beer, but in 2012 I moved down from Apple Valley, where I'd lived for 20 years, and we've had some wonderful adventures. So we've been together for over three years now. And here's a funny tidbit: our first kiss was in a mormon church parking lot, standing by the main entrance. Strange though it may sound, one of her biggest fans is my TBM daughter.
I joined RfM finally a year ago. It's a lot more free wheeling than my other exmo site. RfM seems to me to be like a favorite chatroom on the old AOL, when AOL was about the only way to get online, via a dial up modem. I think it's wonderful that people can loathe each here!! That just doesn't happen on my other site. Probably because of the Nazi moderators on that other site! Truly, they are beasts!
If you're looking for romance, FB is the place, via the various Exmo groups, both open and secret. Ya gotta get in there and mix it up, move it around...
