    Font - fattyfattybomstix69 · 1d I married the cool, outgoing, outdoorsy, sporty high school jock. Turns out he's secretly as geeky and introverted as I am. He's still the same person 25 years later.

    Font - read110 · 1d · edited 4h As it turned out, I married one of the mean girls, didn't go to her school, didn't find out she was considered that til after the divorce. That's how it turned out. Then I dated one of the cool chicks. Did go to her school, did know she was considered that. And she was the most amazing human being I've ever known. That one didn't work out either. Now I'm just retired from relationships for a bit, strike 3 would kill me right now

    Font - WakeAndVape · 1d 3 2 I married the cool girl. Super athletic, everyone was her friend. We started dating in high school. She's kept up everything people loved about her. Nowadays she isn't as interested in other people, and focuses on herself, her career, us and our future. We're planning to buy a house and have kids soon. I'm the breadwinner today but I'm not so sure if that'll be true in a few years lol

    Font - GravityMyGuy · 1d Not me but my mom married my dad who who was hot shit. They met in college when he was an absolute hellion. But since then he became a doctor, still a really fun dude. He's also a licensed contractor so when he was bored he built a 6000 square foot barn in our backyard over 10 years completely on his own. Absolutely stand up dude.

    Human body - sfoster1991 · 1d 3 4 I'm an introvert and he's an extrovert. I never knew what to say to him in highschool because he was so cool and funny, he intimidated me. Now our differences compliment each other I think and we're very happy.

    Organism - hakuna_frittata · 1d i'm the opposite of this question.. i totally peaked in high school. was cheerleading captain, valedictorian, prom queen. super involved and outgoing. now i'm fat and very unnoticeable, not pretty and maybe not ugly just bland, and incredibly shy and reserved. don't really have many/any friends. but married my high school sweetheart, who was quiet and mostly flew under the radar- and now he is outgoing, successful, and more and more handsome by the year.

    Rectangle - RunRevolutionary9019 · 1d a My brother was one of the hottest guys in high school and went on to be a model. He's still cool and hot to many but now he's a bit fat. He's my brother so ewww on the hot part in my opinion. But women still swoon and he's so obnoxious. Think Matt Dillon, etc... Era. He got dumped by his model 17 years younger wife for a 26 year old. He has impossible standards and it's making him miserable. He's into these flashy shallow women. Overall he's doing really w

    Font - madestories · 1d · edited 23h I married the Student Council President/ Prom King. He jokes that he peaked in high school. Graduated 20 years ago. He dropped out of three colleges and hasn't found a career path he is passionate about. He hates his job, but he's actually really good at it. He's kind of trapped in it because it would be incredibly difficult for him to find a new job without a degree. He's a good husband. He's an amazing father. He struggles with anxiety and some depression.

    Font - 1nsaneMfB · 1d 3. My highschool friend was the "cool-guy". Everyone liked him, guys and girls. He never got into fights, was always instantly invited everywhere and girls totally swooned over him. He's still the same awesome dude. Hasn't changed a bit. He married an incredibly hot nurse.

    Font - Wit-wat-4 · 1d A Mom was the cool girl. Still is, still literally gets stopped by strangers talking about how cool/pretty/whatever she looks/acts. BUT divorced (husband cheated) and widowed (second husband died), so never really managed to get a happily ever after in romance. I've only seen her as a grown-up of course, but going by pictures + what I remember as a kid, she hasn't changed all that much, I think sometimes she's too used to people being "in her orbit" and will get sad if some
