Married to a Prisoner
- I've been married to my husband going on 10 years this weekend and I'm ready to move on with my life. He has never been there for me but, his family have been by my side thru thick and thin... I'm scared to make this decision. And not sure if it's the right thing to do since we have 2 children together. I just can't do it no more. It's so hard to be the one to take care of everything when he sits in there and keeps getting more time. I love him with all my heart and lived a dream for too long. I just feel like I am the wrong one to make this move. Living thru pen and paper wasn't the marriage life I want. But, love makes you stay around and children too. I always believed you should work out your marriage but, when it is one person working on it, it's not right. I'm sad to do this to him and not show up at our visit for out 10th anniversary but, I don't want to be fake and right after shoot him a good bye letter. Life is full of decisions, and I guess this is where I let go. ;(

My Life
- Okay -- so me and this guy started writing each other for a favor for a friend and as months lead on I sent him my number, so then he started to call me every 3 to 4 days, then lead to every day. I had a crazy feeling that he was starting to like me but at that time I was dealing with my now ex boyfriend that was also in jail, and my ex never wrote or called me so I slowly started to move on from him for this new guy that showed me more. So on March 10 2012 he asked me out and we only been dating for almost a month and I believe that we're faling for each other. We once talked about getting married now even though he will be home in about five months. I really don't care cuz I know how he makes me feel and it feels all so right.

Together Forever
- Me and my fiance have been toether since September 22, 2008, but we messed around since 2000, have a beautiul baby boy who just turned two in October and my fiance took the responsiblility of raising my oldest son as his own. His biological father is unknown and will remain that way. 2 years ago when I was pregnant with his son he went to county jail. I bailed him out and the next year he had to do 4 months, piece of cake, now he is awaiting a prison term. His first offer was 10 with a 85. I could of moved on and left him in there but we have too many memories and love for each other that I could never do that what ever his sentence is. I will stand by his side, ride or die, til the end. Yeh it will be hard but oh well.Ii have God on my side to see me through. We just recently talked about getting married when he goes down. We wanted to do it before he went but it didnt work like that, so now we are going to do it when he goes to state prison. which I can't wait for cause I love my fiance for life.

How Are People Meeting Men in Prison
- I have been reading some of the posts and I was curious how are you meeting men in prison that you have never met before? Do they have access to internet and dating sites? And someone wrote about pen-pals?

Doing Time
- I waited for my husband for 6 years the first time in 2003, he came home on Dec 2003. March 2004 he walked out of my life to be with his baby mama. What a sore that wants to heal. Ladies don't get caught up in those lies and manipulation. Enjoy your lives because they wouldn't wait for you.

Torn
- My man and I have been friends for most of life and have been in a relationship for the past seven years. He has recently gotten into trouble and is facing 6-10 years in prison. He asked me to marry him before but now he is really pressing the issue snice his incarceration. I know that I am going to marry him one day but I'm not going to do it right away. I have no problem either being there for him because he has always been there for me. He doesn't ask me to send him money, only pictures. He believes that I need the money more out here to care for our children than he does in there. I know we will be together no matter than distance but I'm in no rush to run to the altar.

I Love Him
- Me and my other half met back in December 2008. I had just had my daughter 6 months before.. His name is Shane and at times I feel as if I can't live nor breathe without him, he is truly the other half of me. We have been through so much, fights, curse outs, all kinds of trials, but I'll never leave him especially not now. We have been talking about marriage alot lately -- a whole lot, I get so excited I have never really given marriage any thought. I am only 22 years old and he's 23 but nothing matters to me other then having his last name. I dream about our family and how every thing will be when he's home. I have had my downfalls but he has stuck with me -- that man is very strong and he is so positive he gets me through a whole lot. I argue with him just to hear his aggressive voice but I get kicks out of it probably because I know at the end of the night I'll hear him say I love you and no matter how my day went or what our issues are he is still where my heart is. Mommy loves you daddy

Love Cannot Be Contained By Lock and Key
- I just married my best friend and soul mate on the 21st of January. I did not meet him in prison, in fact we were together years ago. Younger then we are now, we separated years ago but I have always had a place for him in my heart. I don't find it hard to have a relationship with him and he makes me happier than I have ever been. When you love someone you love them unconditional.

Help
- I married my husband 6 months of knowing him through my neighbor. It's been hell with his family. He is serving life and has been in there 10 years so far. He doesn't flat out ask me for money, he spells to me, his family holds me to so much. I live 12 hours away from him and I see him every 2 to 3 months and they expect me to pay a lawyer. I made a big mistake and feel lost. My life has never been the same. I am so depressed and I feel like I need to be a woman of my word. I feel guilty if I leave him. He doesn't trust me at all and he is verbally abusive when I don't do what he wants. I am so at peace when he's on lock down. Editor's Note: You don't need to stay in a relationship where you are being used and verbally abused. You can have that peace you need in your life by letting go of this abusive relationship.

Love of My Life
- I met my man when I was about 14 years old, and even though at the time I didn't fully understand what the word love really meant I knew that I had never felt that way before... now we been married for almost 4 years and I can honestly say there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for that man.. .the way I feel about it is of course it's going to be tough and lonely but as long as you put Your faith in God an that man you will be just fine.... what other people say shouldn't matter! Stay strong ladies. God got you.

I Love My Babe
- Loving an inmate is hard but it is all worth it in the end. I have been married to my husband for six years now and we have been together for ten years. It is very hard but we manage to work things out when things are going bad for us. We have a love that is strong I still have eight more years of waiting but I know it wil be worth it when he is out and free. It is Always and Forever.

Soulmates
- I was 10 and he was 11. We rode the school bus together. I remember waiting for him and I remember the days he would wait for me ... enjoyed 1 date in our 20's and lost all contact, Found him in 2009. Nothing had changed. He is serving 14 with 2 to go. Just celebrated 1 year of marriage and would not change a thing.
