I married an ex con

How does a good girl from New Hampshire end up to a man who served life in prison for attempted murder? I don't really know... sometimes these things just happen. We met and there was instant sparks. An attraction that surpassed both of our pasts. And there are some things in my past that I would not want to brag about, believe me.

My husband and I have been married just over a year now although we have been together over four. He treats me better than any man has ever treated me before because in his words "I never believed I would ever have a chance to be truelly loved". Don't get me wrong, we have our fights but we always manage to get through them.

There are issues. I read his file and don't believe he is guilty of the crime he was sentenced for but he insists that if they found him guilty it didn't matter what actually went down he had to do the time. PERHAPS I am wearing rose colored glasses in this matter but I think not.

He has the closest friends in the world and at any time the phone can ring and he is gone to help one of them out. No questions or explanations needed, something called a prison favor.

His life before me doesn't matter to him much but I have questions, some stupid and some I just dare not ask him. He is a good man and every day I strive to be worthy of this remarkable mans love.
