Life is full of surprises.
Hey ladies and gents! ( not sure if men are here too lol)
Thanks to my close friend, who’s a prison wife, she’s convinced me to share my story. If you have any questions I’m open to answering publicly and privately :)
In 2014, I met my husband while he was incarcerated. He was serving 10 years. I met him at his 2 year mark. I was 23 and he was 27. I was a CO at the time of meeting him but I did not entertain him while he was at my facility. I took my job seriously and also, the bs that happens inside I never wanted to get mixed up anything. I was leaving corrections after working there for 2.5 years. The time my hubs came into my housing unit, I was instantly attracted to him. I’m sure he caught me staring and it was embarrassing lol. Lusting over an inmate? wtf was I even thinking right? Idk, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. It was like a magnetic pull and I didn’t even know this man. So he’s in my unit and I had butterflies in my stomach when I saw him looking at me and it wasn’t just a regular look. He eyed me up ⬆️ down ⬇️ and all the way around. 🔄 . Since that brief moment, he made it his business to speak to me whenever he could. I kept it professional even when he would say or do things ( non sexual just flirty gestures ) I knew I could’ve written him up for. I was leaving the job soon so in a way. I didn’t care 🤷🏾♀️ It was a rush. A thrill. I was also going thru a bad break up so a distraction was indeed needed. Upon my last day at the facility he dropped a kite on me saying, “we should get to know each other once you leave” I balled it up and laughed to myself. Ain’t no way I’m talking to this man. He was just nice eye candy to look at. Doing my last count of the night, I approached his cell and this man was completely NAKED! Normally, when they are doing stuff like using the bathroom or handling themselves they might board up there window indicating so but he didn’t so I didn’t think much when looking inside. What I saw below ⬇️ had me frozen 😂😂😂 If that’s TMI, my apologies but I’m just honest. So I saw his manhood and man of man. Certainly blessed. Once I snapped out of it he smirked at me and walked closer to the door. He literally said while pulling his clothes back on. “So can we” I’m like huh? Smh “Can we get to know each other”….Well
As of 2022, my husband is a free man. He served his time and I road it out with him. This journey wasn’t EASY lol I won’t lie and say it was but was it worth it? Absolutely, love can be discovered in the crazies of places and I happened to found my soulmate in the belly of the beast (Prison)
Also, we didn’t get married while he was incarcerated. We just said we were and did a spiritual marriage lol. We legally got married 2 weeks after his release. Next October, we have been together for 11yrs. Legally Married for 3.
If you gotten this far, thanks for reading! Never compare your journey to the next person. Everybody locked up ain’t fucked up 💯
