When she was assembly my dad and mom, she put collectively an outfit and requested “What do you suppose? Does this say ‘hey dad and mom, take a look at me, I am superior,’ or ‘I slept along with your son on the primary date?'”
The day she took off work to assist me undergo a dumpster. I had by accident thrown my keys within the trash whereas cleansing out my automotive.
Edit: We discovered them 2 hours later.
After I first informed my father that I used to be relationship somebody new, he jokingly requested, “What’s her title? What does she do? What’s her bra measurement?”
I informed her about it, hoping to arrange her for his humorousness, and he or she thought it was hilarious. The primary time they met she launched herself by saying, “Hello I am Stephanie! I am in faculty and I am a B-cup.”
My father was horrified, my mom was laughing hysterically, and I used to be in love.
I used to be 18 and simply gotten out of a dental appointment the place 2 of my knowledge tooth had been pulled out. I used to be drooling, stains of blood throughout my shirt and it was {the summertime}. My gf on the time was 16, took what little cash she had from her allowance, purchased me a field of ice cream and biked 25 minutes simply to ship that field of ice cream and see how I used to be doing. With blood stains throughout, she nonetheless gave me that look of affection and planted a kiss on me. That was virtually 20 years in the past and I nonetheless cannot think about having a happier life with out her in it.
It was our first date. It was the final day of courses earlier than Thanksgiving break, she was presupposed to drive dwelling after class. It was only a espresso date that stretched out for a number of hours. It was simply comfy. Dialog flowed. I wasn’t nervous about saying something dumb or foolish. We had been utterly ourselves. It culminated in a shy kiss in her automotive earlier than she left to drive dwelling.
Her Mother knew why she was late, simply by her temper. I went again to my residence and talked to my roommate. I informed him there was one thing particular about this woman. We’ll be celebrating our 10 yr anniversary this summer season.
This can be a bit uncommon, however the best way she may toss an insult round. I are likely to tease playfully, and he or she may all the time toss banter proper again. We ended up insulting one another a lot that my pal needed to guarantee his girlfriend that we had been solely kidding and did not hate one another. It was nice.
Getting married subsequent month. She came to visit 2 weeks into us relationship with a batman costume for my cat. She put my cat within the costume after which chased the cat across the residence singing “DA-NUH-NUH-NUH BATCAT!”
There was by no means a doubt in my thoughts after that.
Issues had been going rather well, and I used to be saying to myself “If this retains up, I believe subsequent summer season I will pop the query.”
Then, my mom had a stroke. We had been all sitting within the ready space outdoors the ICU, as a result of solely 2 folks had been allowed in at a time. It was my now-wife’s birthday, and a Wednesday, and he or she did not hesitate to take the time off to sit down with me and my household.
I went to go to my father at dwelling, and he or she got here with me. Her Italian instincts kicked it, and he or she introduced a load of groceries and a lasagna along with her.
My father was a multitude on the hospital, and it fell on me and my siblings to talk with the medical doctors and make plans.
I might get dwelling, and pour myself some bourbon. She made me dinner, and simply sat with me whereas I silently sobbed.
It wasn’t about how nice we had been when issues had been good, it was about how excellent she was when issues had been dangerous.
I purchased the ring 2 months later.
Edit: Forgot – this all occurred simply earlier than Christmas. Since my mom was nonetheless within the hospital Christmas Eve, I acquired a final minute reservation to my father’s favourite restaurant. GF was along with her household, however we acquired to the desk to discover a word that she had known as forward to purchase us 2 bottles of wine.
In my first week as licensed as a paramedic I had a two yr previous die on me. After I acquired off work, I drove to my girlfriend’s place and informed her about my day. I used to be fairly numb on the time, making an attempt to course of this youngsters dying regardless of all my efforts. I laid down on her sofa, and he or she simply wrapped her arms round me and laid with me for 3-4 hours as I attempted to course of. She did not push or ask numerous questions, simply laid their quietly and held me. I slowly was in a position to speak my means by it, after which the tears began. She cried with me. I felt the entire world was so darkish and ugly, however she was my island of sunshine. Began saving up for a hoop that week, and requested her to marry me 6 months later. In September we have a good time our 5 yr marriage ceremony anniversary. I am nonetheless a paramedic, and he or she’s nonetheless my island.
On or about our second date my future partner was on name for her medical job. Her beeper when off (dates the story) and we rushed to the hospital the place I acquired to observe her deal with a trauma case. I noticed confidence, experience, calmness underneath stress, kindness and caring and some different desired traits shine forth and with that added to her package deal I knew she was somebody I may respect for the remainder of my life. We have a good time our twenty fourth anniversary this fall.
She insisted on cooking me steak on one among our first few dates. It was the most effective steak I would ever had. I ended up drunkenly confessing my love quickly afterward. For the steaks, after all.
I have been married simply over per week, so I have been telling this story rather a lot recently.
We had been three days right into a month-long backpacking journey in southeast Asia. We’re staying in a seedy resort in Bangkok and he or she will get a foul case of meals poisoning – it is popping out of each ends for twenty-four hours.
I, after all, am now designated as her nurse. I am refilling her water bottle, getting her soup from the restaurant outdoors, retaining her firm and, most significantly, emptying the trash bin she retains puking into.
After one journey to empty her vomit bucket, I come again into the room and he or she’s asleep. I checked out her and thought to myself “I am not even bothered by this. I would do something for her. That is the girl I will marry.”
She’s a disgusting barf fairy, however she’s my disgusting barf fairy. Zero regrets.
Edit: For all these asking, we had a Jewish marriage ceremony, so no vows. I did get to interrupt the s**t out of a glass, although!
I’ve posted this earlier than however because you requested:
After I was a younger lad I had purchased a pair of swords. Now for some purpose I nonetheless had them, however when my now-wife agreed to come back over my place I made a decision to cover them in a storage closet as a result of why would any grown man have these.
So, some time down the road she was in search of one thing in mentioned closet after I heard “what the hell? You’ve gotten swords? WHY ARE YOU HIDING THESE?!”
I used to be ready to be mocked mercilessly, when as a substitute she handed me one after which began swinging. It was about that point that I spotted I used to be going to marry her.
should submit this for my dad.
my dad and mom met 39 years in the past final Friday, in a lineup for a film. my mothers pal knew my dad from one other pal and launched them. My dad was referred to as a ‘wild man’, and my mother was critically contemplating changing into a nun. naturally, they began relationship.
couple months later, my mother discovered a lump in her breast. my dads aunt died of breast most cancers very younger, and it simply freaked him out I assume. My mom had the lump eliminated and thank god it was benign, however my dad had already rushed out and acquired an engagement ring.
He all the time claims he knew from the second he noticed her, however a few glasses of wine and he’ll let you know that he noticed what life may very well be like with out her, and it wasn’t value dwelling.
they by no means battle, they all the time work collectively, and my mothers coronary heart nonetheless skips a beat when he comes dwelling from work.
I left my favourite CD in her automotive (Dream Theater’s Scenes From a Reminiscence). She wasn’t an enormous fan, however put up with it at any time when I listened.
Someday I used to be on the telephone along with her whereas she was driving, and we mentioned goodbye however she forgot to hold up.
I waited a number of seconds and I heard her singing alongside.
I stepped on a ladies foot at a pageant. I turned and apologized sincerely and the woman accepted my apology. Her drunk pal although determined to begin screaming at me, and threatened to assault me saying “I am a lady, you may’t hit again.” When she shoved me my future spouse got here out of nowhere and punched her so laborious her shoe got here off. I mentioned “yup, I am marrying this lady.
Edit: my spouse is not the one who’s foot I stepped on. Ought to have worded it higher. She and I had been casually relationship 8 months and he or she was off in search of our pals after I stepped on the women foot
My dad informed me he knew he wished to marry my mother when the McDonald’s opened in Moscow after the USSR crumbled and he or she ate 6 Huge Macs in a row
My finest pal and I took perpetually to comprehend that we every had been infatuated with each other. Embarrassingly so.
Lastly, we began relationship and we moved in collectively. Every thing was excellent. I’ve by no means been massive on the concept of marriage, however laying in mattress collectively one evening I spotted that the considered not having her in my life was insufferable and I did not need to ever let her slip away. We had solely been collectively for about 6 weeks at that time, however I knew I wished her to be mine.
She died a pair weeks in the past, and I by no means acquired to ask her to marry me.
Edit: Wow. I by no means anticipated nor actually desired this a lot consideration. I simply wished to vent a short time I used to be on break at work. Actually I’ve some anxiousness about all of this consideration. I will attempt to get again to everybody.
To reply the commonest query, she died in a automotive accident. I do not need to submit lots of element publicly, but when anybody actually offers a s**t, PM and ask and I will share extra.
It has been actually laborious to take care of this. I can’t put into phrases how essential she was to me. For somebody like myself, if the username did not give it away, I do not significantly get pleasure from most individuals. She was my absolute favourite. The most effective particular person in my life. The enjoyment we had for one another was immeasurable and everybody who knew us collectively knew we had been soul mates. That is the place all the emotions of pointlessness are stemming from.
For probably the most half, it was the truth that the very day we began relationship she was staying at my home, not fairly dwelling there, simply hanging out perpetually til that was dwelling with me. By no means thought to a lot about it til a yr later and notice that we’ve got by no means spent a day away from one another. Married Sept. 2006, and nonetheless going robust.
After we had been having a dialog and he or she saved making me giggle. Her humorousness is unimaginable. It additionally helped after I was taking her out on an early date and he or she mentioned, “You are spending an excessive amount of cash on me.” She knew cash was very tight for me (we had been in faculty).
Our thirty fourth anniversary is that this Saturday.
My spouse and I had been good pals earlier than we grew to become romantically concerned. She was “one of many guys,” and it wasn’t uncommon to roughhouse a bit of (this sounds sexual on reflection, however it actually wasn’t on the time). You already know that factor you used to do to your sister once you had been like 12, the place you’d pin her down and threaten to spit on her by letting the spit hang around of your mouth, then sucking it again up on the final minute? (Expensive God, I hope I am not the one one who did this.) Properly, I did that to my friend-now-wife, besides I waited too lengthy and I by accident spit instantly in her eye. As an alternative of being livid like a standard particular person, she busted out laughing. We have been married 12 years.
On our 4th date we acquired an affordable pizza and went to a park in October up north. We felk asleep and awakened freezing at 2 within the morning. As an alternative of getting up and leaving we simply held eachother and went again asleep for an additional 2 hours.
I knew from that second I used to be gonna marry this woman!
I acquired mad and yelled at her for some silly s**t as a result of I had been in a poisonous relationship previous to assembly her and I assumed that what {couples} did (scream & argue). I anticipated her to yell again at me, however she simply stared at me for a second and requested if I used to be accomplished. I mentioned I used to be and he or she proceeded to elucidate to me that individuals who love each other don’t deal with one another that means. We are able to disagree with each other, however there is no purpose to be imply. “If we’ll be collectively, please do not be imply to me once more.” That was 26 years in the past (we have been married 25 years).
Edit: thanks guys a lot for the type replies and messages, however I’ve to admit one thing; I am nonetheless an a*****e, simply to not her! ;P
She opened her fridge and I noticed she had organized her jelly by the seen mild spectrum.
After we acquired married, she confessed that she did that on accident and had no concept what I had been speaking about however simply rolled with it as a result of she may inform she scored factors.
I saved her anyway.
Edit: to these saying “simply say shade”, the seen mild spectrum is a particular order. If I had mentioned “organized by shade” that claims nothing concerning the order, which is what impressed me. This isn’t me bragging about being sensible, that is elementary college stuff, folks. Crack a rattling e-book.
We had been younger. I used to be transferring throughout the nation to be along with her on the time. And he or she acquired our residence all prepared earlier than I acquired there.
Our toilet was actually, actually small. She had bought this blue toilet rug for the ground. And since the rug was too giant she fastidiously reduce out these notches for the sink stand and the entrance of the bathroom bowl so the carpet would match completely flat.
She reduce the lavatory rug completely. I knew she needed to be mine.
I do not even care how cliché it’s; I knew the primary second I noticed her.
It was this tremendous bizarre feeling of instinct that I would by no means felt earlier than, and that by no means went away. It was like “yep, you are going to marry her sometime. Within the meantime, you must determine your self out since you’re sort of a large software proper now.” We did not even date till ~5 years later–dated different folks and had our personal lives–and throughout that entire time she was simply this little seed ready patiently at the back of my subconsciousness.
Marriage has been at instances euphoric and at instances agonizing. Proper now it is higher than ever. Our second child will likely be born subsequent week 🙂
It really occurred with out a lot fanfare. We had been in mattress one evening earlier than going to sleep, speaking about our relationship and our future. We had already purchased a home collectively and had a canine, and we had talked about marriage previously, however it wasn’t an enormous precedence for both of us.
Speaking about how cool it might be to have our marriage ceremony be like a reunion with lots of previous pals made it appear actually interesting, and we knew that we each can be staying collectively for just about the remainder of our lives. She ended up simply saying it ultimately “So, do you need to?” and I mentioned “Yeah, I assume I do! It is sensible!” and the whole lot occurred from there.
Utterly and wholly unromantic! Yay for us! We’re now arising on 8 years of marriage with 2 youngsters.
I even have an image I took of her the second I spotted it. Nothing specifically occurred. We had been relationship for some time and went on trip collectively. After we arrived on the resort, we had been sitting on the veranda having a drink and it simply hit me: “That is the woman I’m going to marry.” So I instantly took her image. The look on her face is form of like, “Why are you taking a look at me like that?”
I notice that is buried and no one will see it and it isn’t a cool or joke, however I wished to place in my reply to be archived on the interwebs perpetually. I simply love that woman a lot.
EDIT: You persons are superior! I posted this within the morning, and I simply checked my telephone and noticed all of the upvotes and I needed to go discover the pic. It took some trying; it was on an previous backup drive. The pic is from 2005. Right here it’s: [My beautiful girl](http://imgur.com/a/KV4oN)
That is on the veranda of the St. Regis Mardavall on Mallorca. (On the time it was simply the Mardavall.) Taking a look at this jogs my memory she was carrying my sweatshirt as a result of it was a bit of chilly within the late afternoon. (It wasn’t, however she will get chilly when it is not not less than 75F.) She is trying on the guidebook and map. Now that I take a look at the image in any case these years, the late-afternoon golden mild, on reflection, might need been conspiring to affect me. One thing about her at that very second made it clear that she was the woman I used to be going to spend the remainder of my life with. It has been 10 fantastic years.
Thanks, nice folks, for encouraging me to dig this out and re-live this second.
We had a protracted distance relationship. We lived 3 to 4 hours away from one another all the time we dated. We had met at a live performance and traded emails and MSN data (traditional). We emailed and chatted on a regular basis, generally for hours. We poured our hearts out about our fears and goals. I would go go to her each different weekend, and he or she’d come as soon as and some time my means.
About 3 or 4 months into doing this, I am at dwelling chilling at dwelling taking part in some recreation in my room. My dad calls up the steps that I acquired a package deal within the mail. So I, confused, come strolling down the steps. And there she was. She got here as much as go to as a shock. With out considering, I instinctively ran to her and hugged her and lifted her and spun her a bit. And I felt in my coronary heart a wholeness. Like holding her crammed in one thing I used to be lacking. I knew then that I by no means would let her go (metaphorically talking). Been married over 9 years, and I nonetheless get that feeling after I hug and kiss her.
Like our 4th date, at her home the episode of the Simpsons is on the place they’re hiding the city’s trash all over the place. With none prompting or ever speaking concerning the present Doug, we each concurrently mentioned “STASH OUR TRASH! BEAUTIFY BLUFFINGTON!”. a fully inconsequential line in a mediocre present neither of us had seen in over a decade. We boned.
My husband tells me he knew when he casually requested me this query on our second date:
“What time is it?”
Appropriate reply and the reply I gave? “It is Howdy Doody time.”
Married 24 years in August.
It wasn’t like a “thunderbolt” factor, however proper after we first banged. She acquired up and walked bare throughout the room to the lavatory, and I will all the time keep in mind how good it felt laying there and the way this was positively the most popular girls who had ever walked bare throughout my room. I assumed then “I may marry this woman.”
‘Course, it wasn’t simply the hotness, does not damage that she’s a monetary genius, has two levels, a great-paying job, and is probably the most affected person particular person I do know.
What the f**okay she’s doing losing her life with me I will by no means know, lol, however I am grateful.
Engaged.
Our first date lasted 12 hours as a result of we simply could not cease speaking.
Our second date was presupposed to be simply dinner and it lasted virtually 2 days.
She drove away after the second date and I could not think about my life with out her in it. I used to be ecstatic to seek out out she felt the identical.
Scorching redhead on St. Patrick’s day consuming Guinness out of a pitcher. That is the woman for me! Launched myself, spent the remainder of the day along with her, stumbled to a buddy’s who lived near the bar, informed him I met the woman I used to be going to marry. Been 20+ years.
Nobody goes to see this… however oh nicely.
This is not flashy, it isn’t going to make an incredible Hollywood film.
The second I KNEW I used to be going to ask her to marry me, was the second I accepted that I may dwell with out her. I simply did not need to. It was that second that I acknowledged being along with her was a mutual selection, not a dependency. I had the self-awareness to know I may lead a contented life. However s**t, this lady made the whole lot happier.
I’m one of the crucial genuinely fortunate folks, I do know. I’m not the wealthiest, finest trying, or hottest. However I deeply, deeply love my spouse. She is, the middle of my universe. It is not as a result of she’s given me this Hollywood fairy-tale of what marriage is ” presupposed to be like”. It is as a result of she’s given me one thing actual, one thing tangible, and one thing I can battle for. Via the ups and downs, the arguments and laughter, the illness and well being – I notice that I could not all the time like her, however I deeply love her. And that love shouldn’t be based mostly on ONE factor, however all issues. And it is superb once you see the girl you’re keen on day after day, yr after yr, and also you simply preserve seeing the identical particular person you first met.
I s**t you not. Each single day, I’ve THIS revelation. Irrespective of how superb or irritating of a day I’ve. Daily I might ask her to marry me and every single day I might marry her once more.
Spouse – if you happen to ever learn this. Right here is one other confession I make earlier than reddit. The web is perpetually.
As is my love for you.
– Replace simply because – tonight I went dwelling and hugged my spouse. And I held on so long as she let me. She smiled, swatted my butt and mentioned “good recreation!” Then she began buzzing whereas holding our child. Buzzing is how my spouse expresses a second of bliss. To all of the people who took the time to learn my submit. To these sort sufficient to remark. I humbly give you my deepest thanks. You, folks of Reddit, gave my spouse some happiness at present. You personal that. You made my day. Thanks.
We had gone on two or three dates earlier than I requested her to “be my girlfriend” and I knew the moment she mentioned sure that we’d be married sooner or later. Her eyes simply lit up like nothing else after I informed her I wished to make issues official. It has felt like I can learn her thoughts for the reason that day I met her. I do know when she’s completely satisfied, unhappy, upset, drained, irritated, and so on. I knew a number of days earlier than she requested me to maneuver in along with her that she was going to ask. We’ve been in sync fairly continually, and I am extremely fortunate to be married to somebody with whom I am so in tune. We dated for 3 years, however I knew from day one which we had been going to be married.
I do not actually imagine in ‘soulmates’ or something too mystical. Nevertheless, if there was anybody who may change my thoughts about that, it is my spouse.
I used to be divorced happening my third yr, had dated a number of girls. However this one woman I solely had been relationship 10 days after I blurted out asking her to marry me. She mentioned sure. Its been 32 years now and had been nonetheless very a lot in love.
I lived in a half first rate residence in Hell’s Kitchen in NYC. The place had a bath that was massively stained after I moved in. Each chick I “dated” tried to get that stain out. This was within the 90s after I was younger and single in NYC… so meaning loads of girls took a shot at it.
My future spouse got here out of the lavatory sooner or later and nonchalantly mentioned, “cleaned the bathtub”… I bumped into the lavatory and could not imagine my eyes. “That was my Sword within the Stone! How did you do it???”
“Meh. I do not hand over.”
Edit: I’ve now requested her how she did it. She claims it was nothing greater than Ajax and bleach. It was orange, so we’re considering an iron stain. Sorry there is not a extra magickal reply. However I assume the reality is her resolve dissolves all else.
Simply occurred to me about 2 weeks in the past.
No lie, I used to be washing my arms within the toilet and it hit me out of left area. I knew proper then and there I wished to marry her.
Obtained the ring yesterday, want me luck!
EDIT: SHE SAID YES!!!!
I used to be driving us dwelling from a golf event for {couples}. We stopped to get some lunch and as I used to be driving she handed me a superbly unwrapped burger that I may eat one handed whereas she sat cross legged subsequent to me. Unsure why however I simply felt so cherished, nurtured and completely satisfied in that second. Now that is form of our factor. We like to journey and regardless of the place we cease to eat she’s going to all the time be certain that I’m able to eat in a handy means. One thing about watching the street whereas your now spouse units a serviette in your leg, places the fries face up within the cup holder and will get the burger able to go . Been collectively 10 years married for 2.
After I realized that I might quite keep dwelling watching silly t.v. reveals or films along with her, than going out with my pals.
The very first time I laid eyes on her! We married after going regular for 15 months and remained married for 56 years, till her dying 3 years in the past. Blue eyed blonde and a ten in my e-book. Miss her terribly.
She invited me to her residence to prepare dinner me dinner. On my means, I picked up a prescription and promptly took the primary capsule. 5 minutes earlier than dinner was prepared, I had an opposed impact and handed out on her sofa. Wakened and he or she was gone. Figured she went to the bar throughout the road we go to. Nope. As I used to be on the point of go away, she returned with a contemporary set of garments and toiletries for me for work the following morning. She walked 9 blocks up the hill to my residence, acquired me the whole lot I wanted for the following day, and got here again. This was our second date.
Brief model: She actually saved my life.
Much less-short model: I am from Michigan. Again in December 2014, I used to be in Delaware for a enterprise journey. I ended up getting meals poisoning, which introduced on DKA (for these non-diabeeds, principally your blood will get poisoned and your physique tries to battle it off, which proves to be futile). I used to be vomiting continually, and saved drifting out and in of consciousness. My spouse (then-girlfriend) known as me about 20 or 30 instances earlier than I lastly answered. The one factor I may power myself to say was “hello child. I am actually sick.” Then I blacked out once more. What appeared like 5 minutes handed (which was really about 12 – 13 hours) after I heard a banging on my resort room door. I heard my girlfriend’s voice yelling “It is me. Let me in.” I screamed as loud as I may “get in right here! get in right here!” then I blacked out. I awakened within the hospital a day later.
I came upon that after I did not reply the door, she ran downstairs, acquired a key, got here up, and known as an ambulance. The ambulance mentioned that they’d be there in half-hour. She mentioned “that is not quickly sufficient.” She put me right into a rolling laptop chair and pushed me to the elevator and out to her automotive, threw my close to lifeless physique within the backseat, and drove me to the hospital.
When all was mentioned and accomplished, my physique had a blood sugar stage of 1,400 (my regular vary is 110 – 140) and my white blood cell depend was round 3,000 (I am not 100% about this quantity, however I do know it was excessive). My spouse sat with me for six days within the hospital. Sleeping within the chair subsequent to me. Left to eat however got here proper again. She did not go away my aspect.
I must also point out that this was solely 4 months after we began relationship; nevertheless, we had been pals for a number of years earlier than this.
I came upon later that if she would have waited for the ambulance, I might not have made it. She actually saved my life. She sacrificed her time, risked getting fired and failing courses to drive 13 hours from Michigan to Delaware to deal with me. As soon as all of it hit me as to what she had accomplished, I used to be utterly speechless and realized that if this woman is keen to do one thing like this for me, I have to be fairly f*****g particular to her.
I made it a precedence as soon as I recovered to ask her mom and father for his or her blessing, which they each gave me. I married her in Might 2016. One of many scariest issues to ever occur to me ended up exhibiting me my girlfriend’s devotion and love for me. We simply hit our one yr anniversary, and though we’re a younger couple, we’re nonetheless kicking a*s and going robust.
We danced collectively at her Excessive Faculty commencement get together. We had been out a number of instances earlier however weren’t relationship on the time. I used to be invited by one other ladies mom (she was internet hosting the get together). That was 38 years in the past. We have been married 30 years. we dated for eight years.
I used to be sitting in a sand volleyball courtroom at 3am with a detailed pal (finest man at my marriage ceremony really) having a deep dialog after I realized it wasn’t that I may think about spending the remainder of my life with my SO, however that I could not think about NOT spending the remainder of my life along with her. Additionally, we had every dropped two hits of LSD hours earlier than this epiphany.
The second I knew that my spouse was the one for me, we had been having some post-coital-pizza, and he or she requested me if the following time we did this, we may get double bacon on the pizza.
By no means letting her go.
He personalty was as robust as mine. I am very intense, very pushed, and it is laborious for folks to need to flat out name me on b******t I do. First time I met her, that is precisely what she did. I discovered it immensely enticing. It is a signal of confidence and self worth. As silly because it sounds, I wished to marry her after that first interplay.
Societally we wish to fake that love is accepting all behaviors with open arms however that is damaging and unhealthy. My spouse speaks the reality, man. She helps me be higher. Married one yr as of final Sunday!
Whereas making rice crispy treats, my future spouse snuck a spoonful of the melted marshmallow and made me a contemporary peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich with out me noticing. After I took the primary chew, I knew I would by no means discover anybody higher.
I can not let you know the precise second, however very quickly, like…4 weeks after we began relationship (we had been already actually good pals earlier than) I spotted “Yup, I will by no means let her go”. This was 7 years in the past.
I am not married but, since we’re each ending our apprenticeships, however it’s 100% clear for us that the wedding is coming, and I have already got the engagement deliberate.
Edit: I really like all you guys. 😀
^^^^And ^^^^yeah, ^^^^it ^^^^will ^^^^be ^^^^romantic ^^^^AF
Now spouse was dj-ing a fundraiser for her work at a bowling alley. I am her sidekick, setting issues up and taking requests from people. So we had been snacking on some fries and he or she begins choking/coughing.. subsequent factor I do know, she begins to puke and I immediately throw out my arms and catch the vast majority of her vomit. She appeared me within the eyes with probably the most honest look of shock. She was shocked that I cherished her sufficient to catch her vomit to maintain her from making a scene at her work get together.
Been collectively 9 years, married for 1.5- because of the Supreme Court docket.
I’ve by no means been in a battle in my life. At all times making an attempt to disperse hostility through dialog or humor. I’ve been able to battle (not essentially desirous to battle however 100% prepared for one) two instances in my whole life. Each had been after I thought my fiancee (now spouse) was at risk.
Could appear silly however that is as a result of I can not emphasize how little I need to battle. All I cared for was her security. This was a giant deal and a giant realization for me that this one was the one.
As soon as I acquired flu, she stood by me day and evening till I recovered. I acquired to see her nurturing aspect for the primary time. I used to be already in love along with her, this sealed the deal.
Each my spouse and I’ve a darkish humorousness. Someday I heard her say, with a completely clean expression, “That particular person’s face makes me want we nonetheless had public executions.” That joke was what actually offered me on her. Plus, on the day I first requested her out I mentioned “I requested this time, so if we get married, it’s a must to suggest.” A bizarre factor to say, I do know, however it suits our personalities. Positive sufficient, 5 years of relationship later she acquired down on one knee, took out a hoop, and proposed to me. It helps to be with somebody who’s your finest pal on the planet.
Most likely too late, however no matter.
I had simply left a job I hated as a result of I used to be leaving for grad college in my desired area, I solely had a few months left chilling at dwelling and doing a little volunteer work earlier than leaving. I informed myself, “Self! There isn’t a purpose to become involved with any girls. There will likely be sensible ladies aplenty in grad college, and also you do NOT need to get into some sort of lengthy distance relationship.”
So after all we met in late could, first date in June. Issues had been going nicely sufficient that I requested if she’d be keen to street journey 22 hours with me to highschool, and he or she provided to pay for her personal a method ticket again dwelling.
We had been locked in a automotive collectively for two days, and after I dropped her off on the airport in Florida, I nonetheless wished to hang around along with her. That is after I knew. Two years of lengthy distance relationship, many flights on price range airways, however we celebrated our first marriage ceremony anniversary this previous spring.
I acquired right into a doctorate program final fall, she made that street journey with me for that too, however no want to purchase the return ticket that point 😀
She made me chick pea curry and spinach and potato curry. I made a decision I may get used to that.
We had a battle and he or she was so chill about it.
I used to be within the incorrect and was simply in a jerk temper.
Instantly she talked to me in a mellow voice and defined why I made her really feel shittty and that i ought to take two days of “radio silence” to consider it.
None of this “It’s best to know what’s incorrect… Regardless that I informed you nothing is incorrect” and none of that yelling and or speaking my ear off for hours.
And awesomely giving me the time I have to determine my s**t out.
I used to be like “Sure, I can dwell with this”
TL;DR: “Tough waters are more true assessments of management. In calm water each ship has a very good captain.”
When she despatched me the grossest Snapchat she may make of her face attainable.
We do it to one another on a regular basis now. It makes the workplace way more tolerable
She lets me play video video games within the basement alone with out complaining.
The second she got here in to interview for a job. I labored retail and was speaking to my GM. This stunning brunette walked in. I checked out my GM and informed him, “I acquired this one.” He stopped me to inform me she was my 12:00 interview. I rotated and mentioned,”that is my future spouse.” We simply celebrated our 5 yr anniversary. I’m grateful on a regular basis that she walked in for that interview.
Not married but however the marriage ceremony is that this August.
We met on Match.com and talked for 3 weeks earlier than we met in particular person. I used to be too shy to ask her out so she requested me and we met up. The primary restaurant was absolutely booked so we went down the road to a small cafe. Once more, I used to be tremendous shy so throughout dinner I did not speak rather a lot. I used to be so nervous she did not like me however we each knew, from speaking by messaging, that there was extra to the opposite particular person. So we determined to take a stroll round city after dinner. That is the place I actually began feeling extra comfy and we talked and walked for hours. On the finish of the date we did not hug or kiss however she mentioned “I had enjoyable, we should always do that once more.” That was the most effective first date I would ever had. I new from there that she was particular as a result of I simply felt so comfy and relaxed after I was along with her.
That weekend after the primary date she went to Florida, the place her youthful brother lives, to go to Disney with him so I needed to wait two weeks however it was value it. We went out once more and ultimately began going out weekly. Then we began seeing one another twice per week. After relationship for about 8 months we began to speak about the place this was going long-term. We had been each 29 and felt we’re each mature so we talked about marriage and life collectively, how we’d elevate our households and work collectively to repay our scholar loans, we talked about youngsters and what kind of fogeys we would need to be. I keep in mind after every date after I was driving dwelling, I informed myself that I knew she was the one, that I cherished her and that I wished to spend my life along with her. It wasn’t only one factor that made me really feel that means, it was attending to know her as an individual. I noticed how caring, loving and affected person she may very well be. I discovered concerning the charity work and giving that she did, how she put others earlier than herself.
So sooner or later in January I purchased an engagement ring. It wasn’t an enormous ring however I knew it was the appropriate one after I first noticed it. I went to her home, sat her down on the sofa and in my introverted, dorkiness mentioned (most likely not these precise phrases), “I believe you knew this was coming for some time. I am tremendous nervous and hope you want this ring, so will you marry me?” She mentioned sure. After that we went down the road and acquired takeout gyros and went again to her place. She known as a number of relations and despatched footage of the ring to some folks. Then we ate our dinner and watched Spice World, as a result of that is completely us. We’re getting married this August.
I used to be at a celebration I did not need to be at after I met her. She ended up getting actually drunk, acquired sensitive feely with me and I took her dwelling. After a enjoyable evening so to talk, we awakened and he or she was on the point of go away. I mentioned “hey, let me get your quantity” and he or she says “oh… I do not suppose so…” very critically. She watched my face drop, gave it a beat after which mentioned “simply kidding!”
It was early on however I knew she was going to be a very good time. 10 years later she’s nonetheless busting my balls and making me giggle.
Just a few months into relationship, she had a breakdown (on the time, she had been identified as bipolar) the place she spent per week within the psych ward of an area hospital.
The day she went in, I came around her, and he or she pleaded with me to only go away and be accomplished along with her. It wasn’t an absurd factor to recommend. In any case, we had been younger (me 20, her 22), had solely been relationship for 3 months, and coping with legit psychological sickness in a accomplice is a giant factor to join.
However not solely did I not even for a second think about her suggestion, I knew in that second of choice that this was the actual f*****g deal.
I proposed two months later. We had been married just a bit over a yr after we began relationship, and tomorrow is our 14th anniversary. She hasn’t had an episode since, which we each depend as a blessing. However even when it does come once more, I will be there.
At one level I checked out her, cracked a smile and thought, “wow I may actually see dwelling the remainder of my life along with her”. After I smiled she mentioned “what… What are you considering?” “Oh, nothing”, I responded. Just a few moments of silence handed after which she mentioned “hey… ” “yeah?” I requested. “Me too.” she completed. Then again to silence. That was it… That is after I knew. We had been relationship possibly three months at this level. We’ve now been married for 8 years and have 2 superb youngsters.
We had been on a brief street journey; I used to be driving and listening to Metallica fairly loud and he or she requested “Would you thoughts if I turned this up?”
This may get buried, however, in case she goes in search of my remark: Put the shredded cheddar again within the fridge otherwise you’ll remorse it later once you’ve acquired gnarly dairy farts, babe.
Okay, all the way down to enterprise.
At first, I assumed the “yup” second was how nicely we acquired on. How our conversations simply naturally flowed, our related senses of humour jived with each other, and we had been all the time on the identical wavelength.
Now, I believe that it goes a lot deeper than that. Yeah, it is unbelievably good to be married to somebody that you’ve the full-blown best-friend vibe with, however, on reflection, what actually made me realise I used to be going to marry her was this:
She met my conflict-avoiding, sarcasm-heavy, wall-building, emotionally defensive relationship tendencies with a non-judging, affected person, supportive, and emotionally weak behaviour. She confirmed me that I may disclose my ideas and emotions with out worry of ramifications. She helped me construct a belief that I had by no means recognized in any relationship earlier than.
We went to see Iron Man 2 collectively for my birthday. We had been damaged up for months, and had been simply hanging out as pals; it was my birthday so she handled me to the film.
After we sat down within the theater, she pulled a package deal of Peanut Butter M&Ms out of her purse. My absolute favourite sweet of all time.
She remembered what my favourite sweet was after months of not being collectively.
I knew in that second {that a} woman that considerate, caring, sort, and candy is somebody actually, actually particular. That was after I determined to marry her.
We had been married 6 months later; 2 kids later and I nonetheless really feel the identical means. Often.
EDIT: Contemplating everybody needs to know why we broke up, it was fairly easy: I used to be prepared at the moment for marriage and he or she did not know if she was but. She wished so far another folks to know if our relationship was actually what she wished for the remainder of her life or if she wished to go to highschool or date round for a very long time, and so on. I completely understood and supported her choice to determine herself out, and after we began seeing one another once more, all of it fell proper into place and we had been each able to make the leap. It was the appropriate choice for each of us to interrupt up and get again collectively after a while aside, and we valued the connection a lot extra due to it.
We might been collectively for years, and had been on trip. Folks requested us if we had been newlyweds and we mentioned no and so they mentioned ah, so you’ve got been married for a very long time then?
It didn’t happen to anybody that we weren’t married.
We figured at that time we would as nicely throw a celebration and make it official.
When she picked me up from jail after making a drunken a*s of myself in entrance of her household, getting in a battle, after which resisting arrest. I assumed “I will give up consuming for her if she’s going to give me one other likelihood. She did and it will likely be 12 years subsequent month.
I knew that I used to be going to marry my spouse the second I laid eyes on her.
I used to be on a sexual rampage on the time: smashing girls throughout my travels from Romania, England, Brazil, Russia, Germany, France, and so on. It acquired to the purpose of absurdity.
After I sat subsequent to my spouse by likelihood, I checked out her and thought, “That is most likely the place my shenanigans finish.”
Then I came upon later all through that first evening that she favored Hemingway and Fitzgerald, old fashioned New Orleans jazz, no-planning journey, loved cleansing and cooking, and desires numerous tri- or quad-lingual infants. AND she has a cute international accent, enormous tits, lengthy legs, killer smile, and lovely voice/giggle. I felt like I knew the whole lot about her already – as if we had been collectively in a previous life. And after I realized on the finish of the evening that it might take me a very good 5-7 dates to get her undressed, I knew, “That is positively the place my shenanigans finish.”
I dwell my dream life along with her. She moved into my residence after a month, we acquired a canine a month later, had been engaged 6 months after that, and married 9 months after that. We spent the primary two years shacked up in a 420 sq foot studio, touring all over the place from Morocco to Japan, dwelling a easy, modest, and fulfilling life.
Wouldn’t change something. And if I met her 100 extra instances, both time and again sooner or later or reliving the previous, I might marry her 100 instances once more. And I simply knew it the second she turned to me and smiled.
When I discovered her hidden folder of lesbian pron.
Professional tip: Marry a girl who has the identical style in pron as you.
On our first date we went to a movie show that served drinks to your chair (Alamo Drafthouse). After they requested what we want to drink she ordered a pitcher of Sierra Nevada and I mentioned sensible choice we are able to share. Earlier than I may end my sentence she mentioned “oh nicely this one’s mine we are able to get you one too”. So we did, and since we have been sharing beers, amassing beers, and visiting breweries each since. I all the time inform people who ask me when “I knew she was the one” and my response is the primary date. After she ordered a full pitcher of IPA for herself that is after I came upon I had met my soul mate.
It was a blind date. I used to be 21 and he or she was 18. I took her to play miniature golf. At one level as I bent over to choose up my golf ball, she put her membership between her legs and pantomimed that it was a d**okay and began thrusting it in opposition to my a*****e whereas yelling “I’M HORNY”. Completely broke the ice. We have been married for 16 years now and he or she’s simply as loopy, loud, and hilarious. Our children do not even know the way to deal with her. She’s additionally gotten extra stunning with age.
Requested Hubby this. He mentioned it was after I requested to carry his pet rats as a substitute of freaking out about them.
My spouse loves this story, regardless that it wasn’t essentially the EXACT second I knew I used to be going to marry her, however I not less than knew I used to be going to the date the F out of her.
Her and I had been on our first date, which was November 1st. The evening earlier than I went to a Halloween get together as Papa Smurf and I painted myself blue (sure, I blue myself) from the waist up with latex paint, which principally turns right into a rubber glove. I warned her that I had actually no concept what it might do to me. I may very well be dyed blue for our first date, I may very well be broke out in hives or one thing, she mentioned she did not care. So the costume was an enormous hit, and the following day we met within the morning and took one among my canine out for a stroll at an area state park.
I used to be strolling subsequent to her, and out of nowhere she was like “WAIT…cease. Cease, maintain on” and he or she reached up and began fidgeting with my ear. I had no concept what she was doing, however then she simply goes “Look, you continue to had blue in your ear” and he or she pulled a chunk of the blue paint out of my ear.
We hadn’t even held arms at that time, however she was keen to dig latex paint out of my ear. She was the one. Married since 2010 and a pair of youngsters.
EDIT: pics of my Papa Smurf costume…

I requested my husband and he mentioned it was a couple of yr into our relationship.
He says, “Proper after we moved to WA (from OR) and I awakened in the midst of the evening with an arrhythmia. Regardless that you needed to work the following day and it was 2am, you calmly instructed we go to the ER simply to make certain. You talked to the medical doctors, requested questions, rubbed my toes (you hate toes!) and did the whole lot to maintain me calm. You had been my advocate and made positive I acquired taken care of. I knew then that I wished to be with you perpetually. I felt very cherished and proud that you simply had been mine.”
It seems he had gentle sleep apnea (he did not snore so I had no concept!) and when his mind would shoot adrenaline into his system after not respiratory for a second, it might completely f**okay up {the electrical} system in his coronary heart, inflicting an atrial fibrillation. It hasn’t occurred since he acquired a CPaP shortly after this episode. Glad we went to the physician as a result of he informed me it had occurred earlier than. A-Fib may cause clots to kind within the coronary heart as a result of the blood does not all the time absolutely exit the ventricles, and may result in stroke. Sleep apnea isn’t any joke, folks!
That was in September 2014. He proposed in April 2015, and we have been married since August 2016. Our first child is due in 2 weeks. It is a boy !💙
I used to be presupposed to be allowed to sleep in after a protracted evening of working/consuming. She was working late and wanted a journey to work, so she requested me. Whereas I used to be groggily pulling on my pants and says “I really like you,” and I responded with “I do not f*****g care.” I instantly regretted it, however she did not get offended. She walks up, offers me a kiss and simply says “I do know.” I took her to work and began pulling cash apart for the engagement ring that day. If she understands me whereas I am in my worst moods, then she is a much better and extra understanding particular person than I will ever be. I am fortunate she ever even let me kiss her.
After we had a being pregnant scare and my response was:
“Yeah, positive, I would be okay with that.”
4 years and an unaccompanied rotation to Korea later, nonetheless going robust.
Actually it wasn’t one second in any respect. My spouse and I began relationship in faculty and at a number of factors I assumed, do I actually desire a girlfriend proper now.
I lived with my two finest pals and there have been typically instances the place I wanted I may simply hang around with them and play extra video video games.
Fortunate for me we stayed collectively and it acquired to the purpose the place doing stuff was simply not the identical with out her. Going to a film with household or pals simply appeared much less pleasurable with out her. Even holidays with household appeared means much less pleasurable with out her.
It was throughout this time that I spotted I wanted her in my life as a result of the whole lot is much less pleasurable with out her. Now we’ve got been collectively for about 12 years and married about 5. We’ve stunning twin ladies and I couldn’t be a happier man with how fortunate I’m that issues labored out the best way they did.
Not married but however will likely be getting engaged someday later this yr. I’ve most likely recognized I used to be going to marry her since I used to be in highschool, however I believe the second that solidified it to me was in faculty.
We’ve been relationship one another for over ten years (if you happen to can depend center college relationship as official, which we do) and we’ve got solely actually been aside for a couple of yr after we had been each freshman in faculty. We took a break to see what the only life was all about and develop as folks after we had been each away from dwelling. I can not utterly communicate for her however it wasn’t the most effective time both of us had. Did a bit of relationship in that point however by no means actually stopped fascinated by one another. After the yr ended, we determined to get again collectively after a reasonably emotional get collectively.
Our sophomore yr we had some velocity bumps, however it was one of many first instances I particularly keep in mind understanding for a indisputable fact that I wished to spend the remainder of my life along with her. We had been laying on my mattress in my residence simply watching some netflix and we each fell asleep. I awakened first and keep in mind trying down at her and simply getting this sense that I could not let her go once more.
Now it’s 4 years later, we’ve got been dwelling collectively for nearly 6 months now and I’m going to be shopping for a hoop someday within the subsequent few weeks!
I will likely be marrying my fiance in August. It was across the finish of the primary month we had been relationship, I informed her about this recipe I exploit to make use of all theo time for making cookie dough with out eggs so it was fit for human consumption. The best way her face lit up, that was the second i knew that I wished her to be aside of my life perpetually. It took a couple of yr and some months earlier than i popped the query, however as of proper now the whole lot goes based on plan for our marriage ceremony.
Edit: Sure I now know concerning the flour that is been making folks sick. I am very completely satisfied to tell you that is not going to cease me from making and consuming uncooked cookie dough. The e coli factor with Chipotle did not cease me from consuming there, it really triggered me to go there extra typically.
My, then girlfriend, and I had gotten into an enormous battle. We had been doing lengthy distance on the time as she was going to highschool 2.5 hours away from the place I used to be going to highschool. We had been planning on going to highschool in the identical place after that semester, however we had solely be relationship for a number of months. The battle was about lots of issues, however it was a type of fights which are so dangerous that each events had been continually in tears and questioning the whole lot about oneself. She determined she wished to drive down to come back see me in order that we may speak as quickly as attainable. After I was driving to the Chili’s we determined to fulfill at to eat and speak. I used to be so indignant and upset about among the issues she mentioned to me and the issues I mentioned to her. I did not know the way this might work out. We pulled into the car parking zone across the identical time and we each acquired of our vehicles. We simply checked out one another and ran in the direction of each other and gave one another the most important hugs, each crying. In that second I knew I wished to marry her. I knew regardless of how dangerous it might get I might all the time simply need to be along with her. We labored out the battle inside minutes. I proposed a month later. Now we’ve got been married for a yr and it has been the happiest yr of my life.
EDIT: Chili’s*
Went on a 5 day street journey along with her and did not get bored with her firm. I get exhausted by spending greater than two days in a row with virtually anybody.
When after 8 years of relationship she turned to me and mentioned “I am able to get married now”.
Backstory: We began relationship in highschool again in 1996. We talked about getting married after commencement, however her dad and mom insisted that she end faculty earlier than fascinated by getting married. I wound up within the Marines, about two years we talked about getting married so she may come dwell with me. We determined in opposition to it as a result of, once more, she needed to end faculty earlier than she’d get married. We stayed collectively lengthy distance by my 4 years within the Marines. We mentioned getting married once more after I acquired out. We did not as a result of she was on the point of switch to a 4 yr college out in Colorado. She hated faculty, however she saved at it to maintain her household completely satisfied. We moved to Colorado and he or she determined after a pair years that faculty simply wasn’t going to work and he or she dropped out. She broke down totally and fell in to a deep despair as a result of she had this stress placed on her and he or she felt like by some means she had let her household down. I caught along with her by all of it. She began to get herself collectively, and realized that we had been by extra c**p collectively than most married {couples} undergo in a lifetime and now that faculty was a non issue, she did not have to attend anymore. We had been simply sitting out on the again patio of our residence smoking sooner or later and he or she turned to me and mentioned “I believe I am able to get married now”, and that was that. 13 years and three youngsters later, she’s nonetheless the love of my life.
i’ve a son from a earlier relationship and he adored her, he even pooped throughout her and he or she simply laughed
I believe it was the time I used to be yelling at her for doing one thing harmful (Taking a journey kind a random bar patron stranger in NYC after I lived a block away and would have walked her dwelling or acquired her a cab) and he or she requested me why I used to be so upset and I stomped my foot and kinda yelled “As a result of I really like you, rattling it!” That is after I knew I cared extra about another person than myself. Now we’re married and I could not think about spending my life with out her messy, accident susceptible self in my life.
I assume after I purchased the ring?
All I imply is there wasn’t some AH-HA second for me. Like I wasn’t on the fence AND THEN SHE ASKED FOR RAINBOW SPRINKLES ON HER SUNDAE AND I KNEW.
And that is to not say I knew from the second I met her both. I am undecided it actually works that means?
I cherished spending time along with her in faculty. After we moved in collectively afterwards I…nonetheless cherished spending time along with her. She nonetheless cracked me up, helped me higher myself. At all times felt like we complemented one another nicely.
She’s my closest pal.
So yeah f**okay it, why not?
There wasn’t a particular second that I wished her to marry me. That was love that saved going; ultimately it was simply foolish we weren’t getting hitched, so we spent lots of our cash on a Hawaii trip and I proposed after dinner on the seaside.
The second I cherished her was the extra defining second in our relationship (to me not less than). Within the early days it was boning, watching Netflix, boning some extra, getting meals… you get the gist. Ultimately we began slowing our frequency and we would play Skyrim collectively. As in I would browse Reddit, which was new to me on the time, and shed play her cat-archer. I really like watching Skyrim being performed, undecided why however it’s extra attention-grabbing than TV for me. Anyway she and I are speaking about work (each grad college students), politics, future needs and goals. That dialog acquired me feeling all types of heat goodness. I wasn’t speaking with a future ex, I used to be speaking with somebody I really cared about and favored. So, I informed her I cherished her. It took about 3 weeks earlier than she mentioned it again. That was laborious. However, I knew when it got here it was true. We have been married slightly below a yr now, collectively for nearly 5.
Tl;Dr
Marriage was a extra calculated choice. Love was present in a second.
There’s by no means been anyone factor. She cooks, cleans, really chooses to have intercourse with *ME*. The most effective factor I can consider is that I genuinely really feel like a greater particular person, like I’ve potential and may succeed, after I’m along with her.
And up to now, I’ve. She makes me higher.
Homosexual man right here. We had been filth poor, spending $20/week on ~18-19 meals gadgets from the greenback retailer, laying in a mattress with no A/C in the midst of summer season, sweating our asses off, and the home had roaches within the kitchen. He mentioned he nonetheless cherished me greater than something and would dwell with me in a cardboard field if it got here to it. Quick ahead years later and we’re fortunately married, dwell 3 blocks from the seaside in SoCal, and have actually nice jobs that we each love.
Engaged however right here we go. I knew she was a keeper after I acquired into some skilled difficulties and was nervous about loosing my job. She approached it with a “nicely how are we gonna deal with this?” Perspective quite than “how are you gonna take care of it”. That is after I determined to completely decide to seeing the place this relationship goes. I do not suppose there was one precise second after I knew I wished to marry her, extra of a gradual development of realizing how significantly better my life had turn out to be since being along with her. We each got here round and realized it was heading in the direction of marriage concurrently so we’re doing that this fall.
