Ron and Michelle are the perfect example of finding love after a painful breakup or divorce.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two met years ago through mutual friends but at the time were each in their own respective relationships. Though they sensed an attraction, they never acted on anything until both relationships ended; Ron ended his and Michelle left an emotionally abusive marriage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe found ourselves leaning on one another due to the similar struggles we were both having trying to rebuild our lives,\u201d Ron explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That friendship and connection would soon grow into something more After years of checking each other out from afar, the two eventually spent their first night together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was absolutely amazing, both physically and emotionally. There was such an immediate connection for both of us in every way,\u201d Michelle says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Michelle joked that Ron would be her \u201chit and quit,\u201d neither of them intended for anything more serious to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe now so lovingly say our “stupid feelings” got in the way of all that! We loved that term so much that Michelle had it engraved on the inside of my wedding ring,\u201d said Ron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there there was no stopping the couple; they continued to fall in love with each other and Ron was seamlessly integrated in Michelle\u2019s family, of which she has three children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe kids accepted me quickly and soon we found ourselves enjoying the company of each other and the kids. I also found myself falling in love with the kids just as much as I had fallen for Michelle,\u201d says Ron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRon has also loved the kids and treated them like his own which is something every single mom will tell you is absolutely everything,\u201d says Michelle. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all these years we truly have created a loving family of our own. We have both said that our one regret in this relationship is that we didn’t have the chance to meet each other sooner in life and grow a family together from early on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ron continues, \u201cOur love is something that we both had always wanted and imagined a love was supposed to be. However, as is usually the case, life has its own plan for you and you just end up settling for what you have at the time. Which is exactly what we both did for so long. In my case that settling left me wanting a partner that not only fulfilled me physically but emotionally as well. In Michelle’s case it left her damaged and broken in many ways after years of psychological abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Michelle came across one of our model calls for a Couples Boudoir Session social media, she decided she really wanted to capture her love with Ron and all it represented. While Ron admits he was a little reluctant at first he says it was Michelle who was the more nervous of the two going into their session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
