When your man went to prison, where were you in your relationship?

[NJ2011]

This is clearly not for MWIs..sorry y'all!

Where were you in your relationship when he went to prison?! Dating, new boyfriend and girlfriend, already in love, been together a long time, married, etc?!

We had only been dating a few months, he was going off the deep end and he knew it. He tried letting me go but we couldn't call it quits. I wasn't letting him give up. We had fallen in love. Yes quick, but very much in love. He broke up with me about a week before he got arrested. We were brought back together. He proposed to me twice before he went in, no ring.. But I still consider myself his fiancé.

Been together since we were 12, we were 23 at the time. Married through his faith. Me trying to tell him to leave the streets alone, that a certain person would lend to his downfall. Unfortunately I was right.

When J started his first bid we had been together for about 7 months and were rocky. We didn't survive the first bid, and were broken up for about 5 months. We got back together and were together about 7 months and got engaged, then I got pregnant. We had been back together about 2 1/2 years, engaged with a baby when he started this bid.

We were friends for a few years but we'd just had our first date a week before his trial started and his dad came into town early so we missed our second date. It's almost been a year since that first date.

Blissfully, happily married.

When my Boo was locked up, we were just friends, we had hooked up a couple times when we first met, but shortly after I ended up in a serious relationship with one of our mutual friends. Months after he was locked up our mutual friend that I was in a relationship with was killed. Almost 3 years later we decided to be together. It was hard to say yes at first because I didn't want to disrespect the man I loved that passed, who was also one of his boys. I finally came to terms that he would want us both to be happy, and prefer I am with someone he trusts rather than some random Busta.

Me and my bf just had our first son he had one month to spend time with us . When he left we were happy and loving . I love him to pieces and we get out in 23 months and will be the same noting would have changed.

We were "new" together as far as dating goes, but we have known each other for over 5 years. I feel this was a blessing because of the path he was going down. And I'm glad I can be the one to watch him grow and strengthen as a man!

[H.B.I.C-4lyfe]

we were friends. i had a bf at the time...he tried hookin up 2withme for a year before his arrest. lol. i didnt give him the time of day till he went to county. been together ever since and were married

[TraeNBoo]

We had JUST celebrated our one year anniversary as a couple on the 25th of Aug and he was arrested the 29th! We were getting serious, he hadn't officially proposed but we knew we wanted to get married after his legal issues.

[MartinezWifey]

We had been married for almost 2 years and had dated for 3 years. We have 2 kids. A boy and a girl.

Me and my husband at the time he started this were living together.had been together about 9 months or so and lived together 4 and half or so of that.

[longlost24]

We were together a few years ago for almost a year, then we broke up when he moved away. He moved back a couple years later and we reconnected and were together for a little over a year when he went in.

[InLoveWithaG]

been together 1 yr 1/2 Bun in the oven...when he went in I was my normal self and now I have a teeeeeny lil bump lol

[mrsharper17]

we were 9 yrs into a relationship and just about 2 yrs into marriage. I think we were going to be close to the end of our relationship if he hadnt gone to jail. But i think this bid actually worked for our marriage instead of against it

[hecallsmeduck]

We got together on oct 25 and he was arrested on nov 18, and we live together. It was all real quick, but it's all real love.

[rocwifey]

I'm so glad we found each cause i believe we saved each other in so many ways love that man to deaf

Rodney's wifey

[NeverDull]

We had been together a few months and from the day we met we were with each other anywhere from 10-18 hours per day, every day!!! He was deeply in love almost instantly. It took me a few more weeks to admit I was in love, but WOW was it fast!! He had to supposedly leave town for 2-3 weeks for a business trip and he kept pushing it back another few days saying he was flying standby, etc but the truth was he was having a hard time leaving me. The ironic thing is we both felt like 2-3 weeks was going to be an eternity. I cried and cried when he finally "left". I had NO idea what was really happening and a week later he called me the morning after he was arrested.

We became BF & GF in 10th grade, so together for 5 years & living together for 2 before he got locked up.

[BadGrlGoneGood]

Been together for a long time. We have been together about 7 years now, since I was about 18 years old. This time he's only doing a few months.

[loulabell]

We have been together 14 years and will be married 13 years come march. He went to prison 3 months ago and our relationship was better than it has ever been when he went in. It gets better ever year. He is not a bad person because he went to prison he just made some mistakes. We have a very strong relationship and this little bump in the road will not change that one bit. He is my best friend. He is my rock and I am his.

I wish all you ladies the best of luck as you are going through these hard times. It will get better. This too shall pass.

We were somewhere between FWB and a relationship.

[Prep719]

I had known him for years (we went to school together) but we never really talked or hung out. Then about 3 months before he went back to prison we started texting, talking and spending time together. He was in corrections at the time, so we could only see each other sometimes. He wanted us to be in a relationship, but I wasn't ready for something that serious at the time. So, when he went back to prison we were not a couple, and we still aren't, but things have gotten very serious since then. We're just waiting for him to come home before we figure out our relationship status and our future. We both know we want to be together, we're just figuring out some other things before we take that step.

We had been dating a few months and had gotten engaged the month he went in. We have known each other since I was 10, I will be 22 next month. We had become best friends and were, and are, very much in love.
