Pauline Milner and her husband have been married for 25 years
The author, left, met her husband, right, when they were coworkers.
  • My CFO and I became good friends while working, but there was nothing romantic between us.
  • When I quit the job, he showed up at my house to deliver me my last pay stub, and we kissed.
  • On our first date, we realized we are meant for each other and have been together for 25 years.

I have read and heard about "love at first sight" many times, but my true love story is somewhere on the other end of the spectrum.
