When did you know s/he was "the one"?



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by joyfulone 19 yrs ago
Hey guys,


I've been with my guy for the last 6 months and we're head over heels in love! I finally feel like everything is falling into place the way things should. Everything is happening so naturally that I just find myself going with the flow. Even though we haven't been together for very long, and we haven't discussed getting married or anything, we often talk about our future, like what kind of couple we'll be when we're 80 or our children's names...

He's the sweetest, kindest, most put-together person I know and I'm so lucky to have him in my life. I'm so happy!

We were friends for a while before we got together and I wonder if that's why everything is going so well for us. I guess what I'm saying is that I know I've found the guy I'm going to share my life with - and I know he feels the same way about me.

What I wanted to hear from all of you is when you knew your s/o was "the one" for you! I'd really like to hear some happy stories this room for once!

Ok, y'all! Let's hear it!

:o)

Have to agree with A-me, I was pretty sure my husband was someone I wanted to be with for the long haul but we didn't get married until we had lived together for 5 years.

I think it's wise to have a few highs and lows and see how you deal with them as a couple, life isn't always candlelit dinners.

I would agree with the 2 yr rule - that is usually when relationships go a bit pear-shaped when the romance and lust is on the wane. It is the time when you find if you have any deeper feelings and values.


Agree with the point that you need to go through the muck before you know if you can really a trust your partner to be there for you.

I agree. You need to pass through the romantic clound that is covering your eyes and see the real person before you know whether he/she is right.

I used to think talk of "the one" was bollocks.


But when I met my partner, all the things I had previously wanted/looked for in relationships just didn't matter. It was just him I wanted to be around..warts and all, daggy haircut, Chinese mother in law in tow...it just felt great and happy and perfect - of course it wasn't perfect and he is still a complete sh*t sometimes but I still get "I am in the right place at the right time" feeling. Is that "the one"? I think so.

All is well that ends well, so a saying goes.


The problem however is that, you can hardly predict the end/future (save the so-called fortune-tellers and soothsayers :P). That does not however prevent us from taking bold steps and going for the 'gold'. Afterall, a bird that flies not sleeps on empty stomach; that is to say, nothing ventured nothing gain.


Joyfulone, dear, listen to your heart and do what someone in 'true-love' will do; go for the 'gold', provided this guy is truly in it with you. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time. Remember, time and tide waits for no man.


One advise though, we can all advise you to take a decision but, remember, consequently, you'll surely bear the consequencies of that decision alone. so, beware!!!


True love could be soooo sweet; isn't it, folks??? :D. Goodluck, my dear!! Peace out.

Hmmm... well, it seems this thread has turned into something other than what I had intended, but that's ok. It's still a good one.


Well, it's not like we're getting married tomorrow, or that I've even been proposed to!!! But I think the two of us are both on the same page when it comes to that. It will happen one day and we'll do it when it feels right for us, not after we've reached a certain time limit. But I can definitely understand why people would wait.


I never really thought that the notion of "the one" was for real. I always seem to be a in relationship... two 3-year relationships and my last one was 6 years... but I never really saw myself with those guys in the end. They were nice. I liked them (well, loved them). We got along, we had fun, but I just didn't see any of them as my future husband or as the father of my kids. In fact, I never had an urge to have kids until I met my current guy. And when I first met him, I had to hold myself back from holding his hand, putting my head on his shoulder etc... as we were just friends!


Well, anyways... yes, I think he's the person for me. We're both over the moon - so thanks guys!


Now tell your stories!

I am not a firm believer in "the one". I believe certain people are a better match and that they will make it work. Feeling that strongly about someone to me says that you will make it work, rather than a lukewarm feeling of "Oh, why not give it a go".


I have a great boyfriend who does occasionally irk me. On the whole, I think we are well matched. Is he "The One"? I Highly doubt it, but I like him and respect him enough to give it my best shot to see if it can go the distance. I love him and trust him more than I have any other man I have dated, so I take that as a good sign.

Well i was a firm believer in the 'one' until it was proven by trial and error that the 'euphoric feeling' of finally finding the 'one' is 50% bollocks.

When she came up and said "Hello my husband". Then the Buddhist monk told me we were married in a previous life - several times. Never looked back. I love her more and more with each day that passes.
