Winter 2016 / 2017
Ron Well needless to say , things were a hot mess and my wife and I separated in 2011 Nikki ( Laughing ) Yeah , it was a hot mess and in July of 2011 , he friended me on Facebook . I took a chance and sent him a message , “ so when your wife called me saying I was calling you …” He responded , with “ hello , how are you ” and then went on to note that his wife had never trusted him and they were divorcing . We didn ’ t talk again for some time . So I was sitting in the roundtable of sister friends and talking about him and decided to send him a note for the holidays . To my surprise , he wrote back almost immediately and noted that the family missed her – “ we all do .” Ron Yeah , I mean I had to get her back ! Nikki Yeah , well , I agreed to have drinks , but didn ’ t want to appear overly eager , so I gave him three different dates available on my calendar . As far as I was concerned , playtime was over . Still a bit mad , I was purposely late and when walking in to the restaurant , instead of sitting at the bar , I see that he is at a table . He looked an absolute wreck , but was flashing a million dollar smile when he saw me . Despite his disheveled appearance , I was glad to see him again . This time we got back together and have been together since , and we agree if we had gone a more “ traditional ” route of dating and it would have likely had an even worse outcome than our breakup in 2006 . Nikki We have proven to ourselves and understand we have to be in it to win it , no halfhearted attempts or we won ' t make it . Ron I learned to be more like water , be flexible , sacrifice for the person you love . This time I am willing to give my all .
