How did you know he/she was the one you wanted to marry?

[whatruckus]

When he promised he wasn't going to be like my ex, and then proves it to me every day that we're together. That and when he told me that he loves me to death, is never letting me go, and wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

When we had a four hour conversation well argument about the concept of infinity.

I knew he was special to me since day one, but I really knew that he was the one for me when he told me about his painful past and I told him mine and he accepted mine. No guy has ever treated me like I mattered before him

Did you just know, or did you suspect and had to give it time to grow on you? Would you change anything about how your relationship has played out?

I knew he was the one I would marry because I wanted to have children and he didn't want to have "bastards", simple as that. Nope, wouldn't change a thing, life is pretty damn perfect

I knew when I met SO that he was special. He is senstive and sees things that others don't (he literally finds sea shells a beach where noone else finds any shells) but he is still a social guy. He is playful and impulsive without being inconsiderate or arrogant
which is a mix of qualities I knew I was looking for. He pursued me like his life depended on it, and still had patience to wait for me to feel ready. On our first date, we walked in the middle of the street in the middle of the night, he had a bike so he walked slowly and stopped every 5 meters to coo and pet the cats. I knew right then that he was right for me. It didn't hurt that the sex was great, too. But I knew before that. It was that hand in glove feeling.

I would not have changed anything, because even our small fights bring us closer. And I am vert happy that I talked to him about polyamory before we even kissed.

Wouldn't change a thing. Our relationship's been a steady progress to where we are now and everything happened at the right time in the right way. No wishy washiness, no change of hearts. We both knew from the start we wanted to be serious with each other and go as far as we can. At some point we just felt it's time to think about marriage and here we are.

This is the first relationship where I've felt like I could be myself and pursue my own goals without giving anything up. The first one that I didn't feel like I needed to give anything up just to make it work. Our relationship has its ups and downs and is sometimes chaotic, but there's passion, and love, and a deep-seated sense of companionship. I could spend my life without him. He could spend his without me. But we don't want to. We could both branch off and do so many different things and meet so many different people, but we want to explore all of it together.
