Taking the cue from JudgyAmie, there seems to be no particular order this challenge should go, so I just picked one.
Nine Loves
1. First love was in 6th grade and his name was George. Got my first kiss ON THE MOUTH! Sadly George has passed away and I'm not sure how he died. We went steady and I wore his ID bracelet. Then after a while my girlfriend and I traded boyfriends and she got George for a while and I got Stanley. Was easy enough to exchange ID bracelets.
2. Second love was Ricky. Met him when I was 15 and fell in love. He was an older man, at the ripe old age of 17. My parents wouldn't let me go out with him alone, so they would take us everywhere, movies, dances. He was great to go along and it was worth his wait when I turned 17. If you know what I mean, and I think you do. Ricky and I lasted about 3 years. He cheated on me and I cried and cried.
3. Third love was Gus. He was a bad boy. Married at 19, with a baby and in the middle of a divorce. His "wife" lived with his parents. I didn't care and believed whatever he told me. Looking back, I can't believe I dated him while he was married. So dumb we can all be when we are 19.
4. Next love of my life was Greg. Another older man. I was about 21 and he was 4 years older. He too was divorced, but with no kids. I think I was his divorce rebound girlfriend because he tried to shape me by telling me what to wear, how to act. We had a god-awful fight and that ended that.
5. Then there was Conrad. I was 24. Conrad was much older. 17 years older. (Are we seeing a trend here?) He was a criminal attorney and an alcoholic and divorced. I loved him. We had a great sex life. Little did I realize at the time that I was feeding his ego by being the young woman on his arm. We had an off and on relationship for about 4 years. We always found a way back to each other until I moved to another city. He died at the ripe old age of 65 from lung cancer. A very heavy smoker who smoked Merits. I didn't go to his funeral.
6. At age 29 I met Mr. Honey and we were married within six months. No, I wasn't pregnant. I had just vowed to myself that the next man I lived with would be my husband. So we got married.
We had two weddings, a secret one in our apartment by a justice of the peace, and then a semi-large wedding 5 months later in a church. My mom wanted me to have a church wedding and they had no idea we were already married. A-W-K-W-A-R-D. We kept that secret for a long time.
7. I don't guess Loves means just men or significant others.
Number 7 would be my daughter Queen. She was perfect. I loved her from the day I knew I was pregnant.
8. My second daughter Q2B. She was always a challenge. Feisty, outgoing, cute, made friends everywhere she went. Still that way to this day.
9. My son, The Boy. What a surprise he was when he arrived the year I turned 40! I had asked for a Miata for my 40th birthday and got a baby and a mini van. God knew what he was doing. The Boy's name had been picked out some 9 years earlier.
