My coworker dated 3 other women in the office before we fell for each other. We've been married for nearly 25 years.

• My coworker was the office Romeo, dating three other women at our company. 
• But our friendship evolved into a romantic relationship after a ski trip in 1997.
• Once we fell in love, we got married and had two children. 

In 1995, I took a job as a copyeditor just outside Denver. When I first met my new coworker, Quent — a tall guy in glasses — I thought he was cute. 

But I had a live-in boyfriend, and Quent was just a few months divorced from a woman he’d met in the office. I recall thinking, “That sounds messy. Not someone I’d want to get involved with.”

The universe had other plans.
