Look, no offense to those still waiting for "their person"...but those who have it, do you ever think holy crap how did this happen????

I know every weekend (I take off the DIS during the week now), I post some random thing. This week I'm posting that my husband LOVES me. Like LOVES ME. No matter how much rich or poor, craziness, fat/skinny, ugly/pretty, sweat pants/fancy....like no matter WHAT this dude has my back.

He has had my back through so much and I just had to do a public shout out. If you don't have it, don't settle. That "person" exists.

Sorry, just had to say it

I'll assume from your sn that you're female. Well you're at best #2. Because I got #1. I'm the luckiest man alive.
Reading the Dis often makes me feel even luckier to have her. One marriage and done. That will be it. I could have done worse. A lot worse.

I'll fight you on the 1 vs 2, lol. But seriously, it's amazing.

I am happy for you, and happy for him because you are appreciating each other while you are alive.

Tom and I met on June 10th 1966, and we married on June 1, 1968. He had a heart attack this past December 8, and he seems to be doing fine. I am so happy we met, on the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ.

Not quite the same thing, but in the category of "how did you know he was 'the one'?", here's my story:

My DH and I started dating, 3 weeks before college graduation. On graduation day, I found out that my mom had had a psychotic break and been admitted to the psych ward. Future DH didn't even flinch--he drove me down to visit her and held me while I cried.

On a side note, on that same trip to visit my psychotic mother, my dad was there--for every minute of visiting hours. He sat there and held my mom's hand while she spewed nonsense. I remember thinking, "this is what love is: she's absolutely bat-crap crazy, and he's right there, being supportive."

Well @bobbiwoz , you know I just love you anyway, but I love your story of how you met Tom. I wasn't even born LOL (75), so it is amazing.

 

[nw6675]

I love your posts @QueenIsabella , and as someone who deals with mental issues, your post means a lot and I can identify. We can't help our bat crap moments, but it sure is nice to have our peeps there to walk us / hold us through.

 

[bobbiwoz]

@QueenIsabella , I think that’s a beautiful story.

I thought this was going to go in the opposite direction.

Tipsy, you had one too many

We’ve been married for over 42 years. We met at work when I was 18 and he was 25. It was love at first sight. I have always and still do trust him 100%. I know for a fact he is still nuts about me even after all these years. I always tell people that I married him because he was a “good boy”.

DH and I met in '84 and married 4 years later. We raised 3 beautiful sons which are all happily married (hopefully ). He did beat me 6 out of 10 games of Racko tonight so I'm a little grumpy about that but otherwise all is good.

Great thread as we approach Valentine's Day .

It was a snowy night, March 5, 1975. I was a senior in high school. A girlfriend and I had gone to see a movie and when we got out we had to brush snow off my parent’s car before we could leave. A car came by and a guy threw a snowball at us. My friend said we should follow them, so we did. Ended up parked in the JC Penney parking lot, talking. Or rather the guy who threw the snowball and my girlfriend did most of the talking. The driver of the car and I didn’t say much. We did tell them we would be at the roller skating rink on Sunday afternoon. Sunday came and we went skating, and so did they. That was when the driver and I exchanged names, and skated together. Long story short, we were engaged later in the spring and married in September.

A short courtship, but we knew we were meant to be together. 48 years later, still happily married. We are each other’s best friend. We have a son, a daughter, 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. We are a very close family.

It was 1975, I just turned 18 & graduated. My husband worked at the service station my father always went to. My dad was very outgoing & had made friends with him & thought he was a great kid. Dad would say…I’ve got 5 daughters, 1 of you better fall for this guy. I had to drive my mom & younger siblings around all the time. Dad never put more than $3 of gas in at a time. (Again, 1975, you could do that. ) So I was in there almost every day, or driving past on the way to wherever. Husband was always there to pump the gas for me. He had the most beautiful blue eyes & longish curly hair. It took him til the end of July to call & ask me out. We went out on Friday & knew by Sunday we would be together forever. Married 45 years, still best friends & do pretty much everything together. Our life is still an adventure, we just retired last year & absolutely love being together 24/7. My husband cried when my dad died, he said without my dad, he wouldn’t have his own family or the life he does. Oh, he still has the beautiful blue eyes. But the long curly hair is long gone. That bothers him, I tell him I’m short, so I can’t see the top of his head anyway.

All the time!

Our story is kind of boring, but "cute boring" - we were friends long before we were a couple, and the rest of our friend group knew we belonged together before we did.
