Let's talk about love...

[DisneyAddict_M]

Just something I've been thinking about. How long did it take you to fall in love with your spouse/so? Who was the first to utter the 'L' word? How did you know you were in love?

It happened pretty quickly for me. We both jumped in to our relationship rather fast, but luckily it worked out for us!!!

Such an odd question....

I knew he was the one on our second group meeting in a bar...

Operation Desert Shield was just in effect. He was USMC. He was a tweet, or tweak...never asked....he fixed planes....but wasn't going to be released.

I had my own problems....

Yet, I always ended up talking to him...calling him...dressing for him...teasing him....


I met him at a bar, he's NOT my soulmate....but I love him on so many levels. He's been my best friend longer than we've been married, yet I still like talking to him.


He's the one that I CAN live without......but I don't want to. I WANT him in my life...I do not need him. I love him.

We dated for three weeks before DH asked me to marry him. Then, we got married about four months later. That was almost eight years ago and I am still in love .

I was working at the airport and I saw him drive by on a truck towards a plane and thought "I'm gonna marry him". We were married less than two years later and we just celebrated our 15th anniversary.

We started dating the second time we met... I already knew I wanted to marry him. It was like we'd known each other our whole life. We were inseperable from that moment on (the 8 hour drive somehow seemed nonexistant). We were engaged after 5 months and married 4 months after that. I have never been in love like this before. He's the one I want to be with forever and he's told me the same.

We meet thru mutual friends ( not as a set up ), i gave him my phone number. He went to the same place we met a couple days later, it was a bowling alley, and was about to call me when I walked in hoping to see him again. This was in the end of August, he proposed over Thanksgiving weekend, we were married on Valentines Day the following year.

That was 16 years ago!

The thing is...I'm not sure I've ever been in love! So I have no idea what to look for. Sure, I've been married before, but I'm not 100% positive I ever loved my ex-husband. He told me he loved me after we had dated for 2 weeks. When we divorced, he told me he never loved me. See how confusing that is?

I've dated my dbf since August and I feel very strongly towards him. However, neither of us has mentioned love. I don't want to be the first to say it (to save myself from embarrassment ), but maybe he feels the same way? I just want to be with him and really can't picture my life without him. When he's sad, I'm sad. When he's happy, I'm happy. He's going on a business trip to Vegas in April and invited me to come along. We discussed eloping while we're there, but it's too soon to tell if we'll actually go through with it.

We were introduced by my roommates and talked online for about a week and a half before meeting.
When he left after that first meeting, I knew I had to see him again and this past weekend we spent at least 20+ hours together.
We are definitely both in love. I feel like I have known him forever and there was never any uncomfortable or awkward moments.

If he wants to elope, I'd say the chances are pretty good he's in love with you.

I fell in puppy love with my DH from the day I first met him....I was 11, he was 13. It took about 10 tumultous years for both of us to really understand the meaning of love. I'm sure he was first to tell me he loved me, although I honestly can't even remember the circumstances (but I'm sure I wasn't first, Mom raised me right! ).

 

[Pop Daddy]

its there from the first second or it will never come

Awww...that's so sweet, snoopy.

DH and I were work acquaintances for a couple of years before we started dating. I was married to my ex--DH has told me he was attracted to me but knew I was married and didn't pursue it. (Just an FYI--there was nothing improper in our relationship then--we never saw each other outside of work events and he worked in a different dept so I only saw him every couple weeks or so for a short time. My ex ended our marriage.)

DH heard through the grapevine that I had separated from my ex. He gave me about 3 months before asking me out for lunch--and even then I thought he was just trying to cheer me up. DH said he wanted to give me time to regroup but didn't want any other guys asking me out before him.

We'd been dating for a couple of months when he told me he loved me and wanted to marry me.

ETA: I knew I was in love with him for sure when he spent 3 weeks taking care of his best friend when he was dying of AIDS. DD also adores him and always have which was a big consideration. He's her best pal.

It's not confusing. I understand. I still haven't experienced "true love". Not sure if I ever will, but I would think that if it happens, I will know it without a doubt.

I met my husband junior year of college, we lived next door to each other. We didn't really like each other at all, but something happened when we got back senior year. He asked me out and I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I said yes. We sat up all night talking and I fell in love with him that night. I told my roommate the next day that I was going to marry him. That was 22 years ago and I still feel the same way about him.

He said he loved me first, I think it was about a month after we first started going out.

 

[jx3smom]

I knew I loved him pretty early in the relationship. I said it about 4.5 months after we met and he said it the next day. The funny thing is we were in the Virgin Islands on my ex inlaws boat when the "L" word was uttered.

 

[Parkhopper]

We had been dating a little more than 1 month when he first said, "I love you". My response was a very breathless, "Oh, thank God!"

We were friends for about a year before we got together. Something just sparked between us! We were dating about 6 months before we said the L word but we agree we both felt it long before that but were a little chicken to say it!
