The reason I married my husband is because his hair was curly

I once rejected my husband.

It might sound arrogant to say that, but shortly after we met, he asked me out on a date to an aquarium. However, I hated it so much when he held my hand on the way home that I continued to treat him coldly for a while after that.

But my husband and I were colleagues who started at the same time.
While we were both dating other people (my husband even married and divorced someone else), we managed to regain our relationship as normal workplace colleagues. We are both adults, after all.

The turning point came six years later.
I told my boss, "I'm quitting because I'm changing jobs!" and on my way home that day, thinking, "Finally, I can tell everyone I'm leaving," I ran into my husband at an intersection near the office.

"Look, look. I got a perm."

My husband said that, leaned his body in the middle of the crosswalk, and turned his curly hair toward me.

So cute...!

I was easily smitten.
Not by the curly perm. Well, the perm was cute too, but I mean by his actions.
Even though I couldn't forgive him for holding my hand six years ago.

But anyway, he was so cute, and I thought I shouldn't keep it a secret that I was quitting, so I told him, "I'm changing jobs." We ended up going to Shabu-Shabu Onyasai together, and at our table, for some reason, he asked me, "Don't you want to go to a hot spring? Let's go to Atami."

What kind of approach is that?

A woman who got furious just from having her hand held at the end of a date six years ago, even though we weren't dating, would never go to a hot spring with a man who isn't her lover, right?

That's what I think, but at the time, I just thought, "Well, why not?"

I really thought, "Why not?" so I answered, "Sure."

On the way home, my husband, who was actually nervous, asked me to go out with him. (I had dated a man who was abusive in the past, so I suddenly got anxious and even complained at this late stage, but) we started dating successfully, and somehow or other, we got married.

During this "somehow or other," there were various things, like me getting carried away with my manic episodes and causing trouble for my husband, or getting caught up in depression and causing trouble for him, but we have been getting along well to this day.

In January of this year, it marked five years since we started dating.
Until then, neither of us had the temperament to last more than two years with a lover, so every year on our anniversary, we celebrate by saying, "We've broken our record!"

Everything, and I mean everything, is thanks to the fact that my husband had curly hair back then. By the way, my husband is two years younger than me and used to call me "[Name]-nee (big sister)," so that only added to the cuteness of his curly hair.

Anyway, in my opinion, when approaching a woman—especially when it takes a few years to approach an older woman—keeping your hair curly increases the chances of good things happening.

A gap? Is it a gap?
Well, regardless, curly hair is the best!

Please give it a try.
