How did you know the "One"....

[TigerClaw]

This question is in 2 parts. Only those who were in relationships that broke up need answer the 2nd part. I am particularly interested in hearing from those of us who are/where married.


1. Over 5 Yrs.
How did the relationship develop to where you were sure?

What told you that your partner was the one for you?

When did you know?

Are you sure it will last? Why or Why not?

2. If broken up, what changed?

How would you correct it. ie, treating person differently or not commiting to tha marrage?

1) We spent a huge amount of time together, he and I, my two kids and his two kids. There came a point where it felt very right.

2) I needed a father for my sons. He needed a mother for his son and daughter. He is outstanding in that capacity. It may sound so very unromantic but, that was my foremost need. The rest came in a very far second.

3) For me myself, I knew when I felt as comfortable with him as I do now. My first marriage breaking up really caused some truama to me and I was a litle gun shy of sex and intamacy. He let it develop at my pace and never pushed. That was something I didn't think I'd find again.

4) Am I sure it will last? I believe so. My husband isn't my soulmate, he isn't someone I have ever been passionately in love with. But he fufills so many other needs in me and the trade off wouldn't be worth it, in my opinion

You can't be sure. Never take relationship as granted : it's the best way to lose it

What told you that your partner was the one for you?
When did you know?

When flying home became too painful to support

Are you sure it will last? Why or Why not?

I can only hope it will and work daily for.
Why ? I have one soul and one only.
