What would have happened

My husband and I have a weird story behind our entire relationship. Our entire lives actually. I moved a lot growing up, I remember about 12 different houses/apartments we lived, I believe we lived in more but I have no memories of them, and I went to 9 different schools, we also moved across the country at one point. My husband on the other hand lived in the same house from the time he was 2 until we moved in together, and went to the same school.

We are both from a small town called Woodstock, Ontario. We didnt meet until I was 17 and he was 20, but there have been so many times through the years that our paths crossed but we never met.

My cousin, who is about 6 years older than me, had a friend she always hung out with that I had met a couple times as a kid, She happened to be my husbands aunt, who I now have a very close family with. My husband, as I said, went to the same school growing up, at one point, one of the apartments we lived in, was about 2 blocks away from where my husband lived, and I went to the same school as him for a year.

My husbands uncle passed away a few years ago, he rode motorcycles a lot and when I was in preterm labour with my daughter 2 years ago, my dad and my husbands grandma were outside the hospital having a cigarette talking about random stuff, his grandma brought up his uncle, and they found out that his uncle and my dads cousin rode motorcycles together a lot!

My family moved back to Ontario 3 months before I did, I stayed where we were living because I had a long term boyfriend at the time that I didnt want to leave and a good job, but ended up needing to move because I needed surgery and since I was underage, my mom thought it was best I moved back, when I moved back, I got depressed about not having my boyfriend around so my parents let me take their car to meet up with a friend from the same school I mentioned earlier, I parked in a grocery store lot in a spot along the street facing a bunch of townhouses, while I was waiting for my friend to walk to the parking lot, some revved out of the parking lot of the townhouses in a Mustang and sped off, I laughed and thought "what a tool", that guy happened to be my husband 😂

I was at a cousins house (sister of the one from earlier) that I was staying at for a week to visit her when I found out my boyfriend was cheating and he broke up with me, the day after the breakup, my cousin randomly was like "you know what, nan? Forget him, I have the perfect guy" and grabbed her phone, messaged a guy she said she knew in high school asking if he wanted to go on a date with someone my cousin knows, the next day we met, had such a good date that he ended up calling in sick from work and asked to go to the movies later that night.

We always ask ourselves "what would have happened if we met sooner?"

I genuinely want to know if we would have ended up together or ended up not liking each other at all!

Also weirdly, my husbands family is close with a different cousins family and they know family friends that we know too
