Have you posted about how you came to marrying him yet? Or do I need to be patient?

Only with hindsight can we completely understand how fate stepped in.

I find job interviews in France to be scary. I was recently hired just to answer phones and greet people in english, and they had some scary guy asking me what positives changes I thought I could bring to the company. Well, I can say hello in English...I told the guy, convinced that he thought I was being a smart-alec...I got that job. Great post! I find job interviews in France to be scary.

I'm glad you're in France...I wonder if we would be "reading" you if you were back in England with a broken heart... How wonderful that you fought for your dream, and it became a reality.

I had a similar experience when I only went to a dinner party at the last possible moment, literally being *begged* by my hostess to come, and that's when I met my husband. Totally unexpected. Life is funny that way. When I look back, I think I can see a pattern, a 'meant to be' thing, but I don't honestly know if that's the case, or if it's really all just fluke and luck. I'm so glad you stayed. :) Amazing!

I was looking for a job one time and couldn't get anything and ended up doing temp work. The first call I got was something I didn't want to do but I said I'd do it anyway. They called me back the next day with a different job (same company) which I did want and I ended up working there as a temp then getting hired permanently in a terrific job. I wouldn't have got it if I hadn't said yes to the unpleasant job at the beginning. Isn’t that funny how you don’t realize big things when they’re happening?
