Did you know your DH/DW/DSO was "THE ONE"? (inspired by the DH/DW threads)

[Fantasmic303]

I was at my friend's wedding this weekend and got to wondering about it, as everyone was sharing memories of their own "love at first sight". Then I come to the DIS to find all these DH/DW threads, and I continue wondering....


So, did you know? And, if you did - how'd you know?

 

[Pin Wizard]

Nope, didn't have that feeling at all about him.

 

[oogieboogie]

He isn't. Still waiting for Harrison Ford to call me!

I told my mother the night I met DH that I was going to marry him. I was 11. She was of course horrified that I would even think such a thing.

Of course, he didn't notice me as anything but his friend's kid sister until several years later. And even after we started dating, throughout high school, we broke up when we went to separate colleges. He didn't want to commit to a long distance relationship, and he broke my heart, but I put my best foot forward and went to NYC for college without him as my boyfriend, the only one I had ever known.

I did some dating while a freshman in college, and had two semi-serious relationships during that year. The first guy was o.k., a nice enough guy but someone I knew I wasn't in love with. The second guy was an absolute jerk -- a musician totally and completely in love with himself -- that I *knew* from that day forward I wanted my man back and wouldn't settle for anything less. He eventually came around, realized he couldn't live without me, and ended up transferring to NYU for his senior year of college (my sophmore year), and we married 2 years later.

So long story shorter, I'd say it was after seeing what I didn't want that made me realize what I did want. And that took about 8 years. I believe in lust and strong attraction at first sight, but not love at first sight, I think that takes a lot of time to grow.

he became "the one" when I said my vows

I knew he was "the one" the first time I saw him. I was really shy growing up and hated talking to guys. When my now DH walked into that classroom (see my post on the how long have you known your SO/DH/DW thread) I felt like I had known him all my life. We struck up a conversation like we were old friends. I felt very comfortable with him from the very start.

sorry...posted during a "server busy"...double post

I'd say that I had a pretty strong feeling, yes. I had to break up a relationship I was in for about a year and a half to find out, but it turned out, it was worth it! It's now 15 years later (we've been married for 6 years now) and I never regret one moment.

I'll never forget the first time I saw him... I just had this "feeling" about him. Very memorable!

dh and i met in 1988 when i was a freshman in high school. we started dating at the end of that school year...i knew he was the one for me even then!

but teenagers must make silly decisions and eventually we broke up. (there's a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong story buried in there, but i won't bore you!) and we both moved on as best we could.

fast forward about 10 years...he e-mails me out of the blue one day. we begin e-mailing and chatting online (i was in indiana he was in california)...kept up with each other for about a year and a half when he let it slip that he still loved me and would drop everything if i just gave him the chance to make up for his past mistakes. it took me about 2 months...then i flew out to spend the weekend with him in disneyland and we've been together ever since! reunited in 2001...married in 2002...living happily ever after!

i knew he was the one...he just needed a little time to realize that himself!

I knew mine was thone when she folded my laundry.

I'm sort of dealing with this issue, although it's way too early in my situation. I guess you always wonder if this person could be the one. We have talked everyday since our first date, except one when he was really busy. We are starting to get to the point where you reveal some deeper aspects of your personality. So far so good, I haven't scared him away yet.

Realtionships are weird, though aren't they? I wish a formula existed that we could follow to make sure that we are really with our soul mate! Or is it possible that more than one soul mate exists out there?

 

[MosMom]

Absolutely. I never felt the same way about other boyfriends as I did about DH.

We met in december. In february, I went on a trip to Spain and Portugal with my friend, to visit her sister who was an exchange student over there. Everybody told me if I was gone for 2 1/2 weeks, he'd lose interest. Well, I wasn't going to lose all the money I had spent on the trip, so I went anyway.

I called him once about halfway through the trip, and he came over my house the night I got home. I pretty much knew then that he was it.

 

[CamColt]

Not at all. After dating a few months I tried breaking up with him but things kept getting in the way which made me postpone the break up. It hasnt happened yet, LOL!

 

[raysnkaysmom]

We met when I was 19, he was 16..and we moved in together 8 months later... I just knew he was the one. But...as time went on, I became stupid (thought you were supposed to get smarter with age...and he was the YOUNG one here!!!) and we have gone thru some major turmoil throughout our marriage, but after a year of seperation, we are taking things one day at a time again. And sadly, it's taken alot of dumb moves on my part to realize he is my life partner...my 'soul mate'. I somewhat believed in soulmates before...but sometimes life experiences make you realize that they are closer than you thought.
I'm lucky enough that he never stopped loving me, and I hope he lets me prove to him that I've never stopped loving him either! We have been together for almost 11 yrs now, and I pray for 111 more to come!

I knew the moment I laid eyes on him that we would be married.

This, of course, was very strange as I didn't really like him much. He was too quiet, very conservative, and couldn't dance. But he WAS cute and had a really cool car.

Luckily, I went out with him a second time. He still couldn't dance, but we discovered that we had a lot in common. Four weeks later we moved in together. Five months after that we were married. People said we were rushing into marriage and it wouldn't last six months. That was nearly 30 years ago.

Of course, he no longer has the cool car and he still can't dance. But, he is STILL really cute and he has a great sense of humor. I adore him.

I couldn't imagine my life without him.

I was dating someone (for 4 years) and met DH in my graduate program. I was completely floored. It literally felt like someone hit me in the chest. After class I called my best friend and yelled, "I just met the man I'm going to marry!." She replied, "Your boyfriend? Yeah, I've met him too." I just said, "No, some other guy . . ." I wasn't even really sure what his name was yet. Immediately broke up with boyfriend, asked DH out (this was in August of 2001), he said no, eventually he asked me out, got engaged in January of 2002 and married in July. Best impulse shopping I've ever done!

 

[SnoWhite]

I didn't at all! In fact, I told him when I met him that I wasn't interested in any sort of a relationship and only wanted to be friends.

However, all my friends and my family knew right away that he was "the one". My best friend told me after 3 days that this was the man I was going to marry, I told her she was crazy.. but she was right!

I knew he was "Mr. Right Now". We had known each other for over a year before we started dating and I knew I really liked him and I loved being around him and I loved the way he made me feel. But we had been dating for about 8 months and it was New Years Eve 1994/1995 that I realized that I am going to spend the rest of my life with him. We were married one year later on Dec 30, 1995.

.....that first kiss....WOW

We were engaged 5 months later. I was still a senior in HS and he was a junior (He's the same age, just missed the cut off age for starting). It will be 15 years this Sept. 17th
