Question for married folks. ;)

I knew I was in love with him after just a few weeks of dating. I knew he was the one pretty much the same day I fell totally in love with him. We started dating at Thanksgiving and were talking marriage by Valentine's Day. That was 7 years ago, we're married 6 years, and I still feel the same way about him.

The way I look at it is this: No matter what goes on (life sure does have its share of trials, and it tests marriages pretty hard) at the end of the day, do you go to bed thinking you can't imagine life without him? Even when I'm furious with my husband, I still can't imagine not having him here with me. I realize I'm furious with the situation, not him, and it gets me by the hard stuff. I never dated anyone where I felt that way before. I always felt like they lacked something I needed, or they didn't understand me.

Soooo, my update....I'm engaged!

I'm in the Veterinary Technician program at my school, and after joining the program I became friends with one of my classmates. One evening, I bumped into her and her brother at a coffee shop near my house, and after that the three of us would go out to coffee so my classmate and I could study on a regular basis. I thought he was really fun and good-looking from the start, but I was with someone else and my classmate told me he wasn't looking for anyone, so I assumed he wouldn't be interested anyways.

Well, I finally finally finally ended the relationship that had gone sour months before,(YAY!) and started moving my stuff into my classmate's place. Her brother helpd me get my stuff moved,and one night while we were lounging around watching movies I realized I was totally smitten. Fortunately for me, the feeling was totally mutual.

I knew he was the one after just a few weeks, maybe sooner than that. We were talking about the future and what might be and he said "I see in you the best friend I could ever have", and something in that moment, the way he said it...I just knew. I've never known anything with such certainty in my life. I could go on a bit, but right now I'm too excited to sit still any longer...

I am so very happy for you! I'm glad you got out of that other relationship. I hope your happiness makes up for all the bad times.

That's wonderful news! When I see young couples on TV and they're looking for a new home or starting a family or whatever, I become somewhat envious. It appears that those days are over for me but they sure were sweet when I had them. Enjoy each minute to the max and, above all, enjoy each other. Best wishes to you both.

Yippee! Congrats! You totally deserve this happiness.

When I was 22, I decided it would be great to follow a dace-course, for singles. One day a guy kept stepping on my toes, so he asked if he could get me a drink. The rest is history..... . I knew immediately that he was the one! We got engaged after 3 months and married 6 months later . All this happened almost 29 years ago, and we still live happily together

I have to say.. I'll share my story, but.. I know that in my heart, he is the one. I am 23 years old, Mike is 24 years old. Here goes:

Last October, Mike saw me on campus on the Oval (oncampus), I don't know what made him notice me; and when he did, he never forgot about me. What I looked like, especially. He told his roommate that he was walking with that he thought I was really cute. So, I didn't even hear anything about it until I returned back to OSU for the winter quarter, which was 3 months later. Mike is my best friend's boyfriend's roommate. So, I already had met my friend's boyfriend, and the roommate, Beau that was walking with Mike that day who saw me. Mike told Beau to look and Beau goes "Oh I know her, that is Michelle's friend!" but we didn't think of stopping and say hi to each other at the time.

So 3 months later, my best friend set up for us to meet, and we both didn't know, the first night, we didn't talk much, we were scared of each other. The next night, was the Monster Truck rally, which was our first "date" so Mike says. After that, the rest was history.

We are still together, a year and 3 months later. He's everything I wanted in that significant other, that sense of humor, personality, oh man, I love it the way he makes me laugh no matter what the situation is. He's a wonderful guy, eventhough there are times that I wanted to kill or strangle him for just the way he is, you know... men! I believe that he is one of a kind, and he's a keeper.
