Torii Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm curious about what you feel different for your current partner, that you haven't with any others. Do you support each other intensely? What made you know they're the one? Link to post Share on other sites
mandymor Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I didn't get the feeling he was the one until we had been dating for a few months. When we first started dating my guy was super nice, a real gentleman. So I started thinking, OK, we just met and he's trying to impress me. But over time he didn't change so I knew that's who he really was. At that point I seen him in a whole different light and I knew he was the one. Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 My story is posted elsewhere but a quick recap. I had been dating my husband for about a year when he had a serious accident training for a triathlon. He was airlifted from the accident scene with head and neck injuries and I had to drive two hours to the hospital he was sent to. Not knowing if he was alive or dead, I figured out pretty quickly that I loved him. I knew he was the one because when I finally acknowledged how much I loved him, I realized I had never felt that depth of emotion for anyone. As for support, it's unquestioning. I have his and he has mine. We healed from the accident together, faced my own cancer scare and in the day-to-day, we give each other enough space and support that the other feels both free and safe at the same time. I guess for me, marriage was about creating a family. That could never be undone. So this was for life. We need to always treat each other well. And we need to always love without fear. That means total trust in ones partner. I am the happiest and most content woman I could ever be. If you feel like hat with your partner, then I think it's right. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I can feel the emotions in your post. Very intimate, strong and personal without a doubt. Made my eyes water. I'm glad you have found this. Many people search their whole lives, or simply settle for less. Cherish your relationship every day. Nothing is better than being so close to another person like that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I thought somebody else was the one because I felt like I got hit by lightening when I met him. Based on all that soul mate BS I stayed in a dysfunctional relationship for far too long. With DH it's a quiet strength. It just feels solid, peaceful & loving. There's not a lot of hearts & flowers. The roller coaster butterflies phase didn't last long but there is a strong connection & a wonderful level of trust & acceptance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BetheButterfly Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm curious about what you feel different for your current partner, that you haven't with any others. My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years now, so we probably still don't qualify for being called "life" partners. However, I hope that we will always be life partners, if God wills!!! I want to get old and die with my wonderful man!!! I feel that my husband truly loves me, whereas my ex-husband and the boyfriends in my past, I don't think they truly loved me. Do you support each other intensely? Yes we do, though I still struggle with my husband's decision to get a motorcycle as soon as we can afford it. The reason is because one of my friends got in a motorcycle accident and is paralyzed. That paralyzes me with fear, but I am making the decision not to allow fear to rule over me, but rather to trust that if God wills, that He will protect my hubby on a motorcycle. One of the zillion things I love of my husband is his bravery, courage, and desire to live life to the fullest. I do not want to hinder his awesome traits! What made you know they're the one? God brought us together. I know that answer is not popular nowadays, but it's true. Link to post Share on other sites
