Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Once went to talk business with some random guy. Met him in a restaurant, with his wife. His wife was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life (I'm talking radiant beauty with a face and smile that lighten up rooms when she walks in) and I didn't wanted to be the drooling creep so I mostly ignored her and didn't look at her, she was just too pretty. The guy was a raging asshole and I ended up not doing business with him, sending him to my best friend instead.
Fast forward some ten years
I work for my best friend and the raging asshole for a year before his company collapses. He sends his wife to fire everyone (thats the kind of guy he is) and because it all went badly, I ended up hating her
Fast forward another 5 years or so
I'm given an offer I cannot refuse so I go back working for best friend. I ask him if raging asshole will be there, he will be. Sigh. I ask him if horrible wife will be there? She will be there too. Sigh. It is what it is.
One week in working, turns out she is awesome and funny (and frigging radiantly beautiful) and we become good friends almost immediately. We just never stop talking.
I learn that she already divorced the husband but still loves with him under threat that he will take children away and or leave her with absolutely nothing to live (he's a millionaire by this point).
We then notice we feel more for each other. We talk more and she mentions the asshole is about to fire my best friend and replace him with me because I'm more agreeable with him.
I call said best friend for thirty years to warn him. He's on vacation on the other side of the world and he would be jobless when he'd arrive back. I call him, warn him, and how do I known this? Well, in talked to his business partner's ex wife, she knows, and well, it looks like her and I may become something.
Not half an hour later I get a "fuck you you're fired",because my friend immediately threw thirty years of friendship under the buss to save his job. He never talked to me again after that.
The girl and I immediately received threats from her ex, including that the psycho was looking for hitmen (a real thing there) so we immediately went into hiding in a single small airbnb room that looked out over a forrest with two (literally) removed dogs and enough food to not have yo leave that room; we didn't even come outside for a week. Just talking, fucking, sleeping, and repeat.
We learned so much from each other there, like how she initially thought I was this misogynistic asshole who didn't take women seriously in meetings (from our first meeting ever) and I explained that I just didn't dare look at her because she is so radiantly beautiful. Similarly I learn that she was forced to fire everyone by her then husband because he didn't wanred to deal with having tomfire people...
We then migrated to a different country a month later, we had more adventures and love and fun in these past 5 years together than I've had in an entire lifetime. We are that couple that has been together for over 5 years and still need to hold hands every moment we can. We are together 24/7 almost and we have few friends because we just want each other, nothing else.
I'm so insanely in love with you, baby...
