    It was love at first tweet. Yeah we met online. I followed him. He followed me back. He's such a nerd I HAD to have him.

    I'm a little more practical than that. After a few weeks of talking I confirmed to myself that I was gonna marry that guy.
    I found out that he had felt the same. We LOLed.

    Having been a serial monogamist, I had a literal Pros & Cons list that guys had to meet the requirements of. It hung on the fridge of my apartment until I moved out and moved in with Twitter Guy about a month ago.
    Happily ever after. I've been in love lots of times but nothing like this.

    The important part of this story is the Pros & Cons list.
    Love is great but if there are things you can't stand, love gets bruised and it never heals the same.

    We both know what we can and cannot accept from a partner; what we need and do not need, and we just happen to fit the bill.

    I knew by 2 months that he was my future. We've been married for 13 years this month, but together for 20 years now. We both had college and grad school to get through before getting married and that took several years since I met him my first year of college.

    The day after I met her, I told her that I had a question for her but it probably wasn't a good time yet... She asked me, "What month were you thinking?" I said June it was October and she asked if that was going to be soon enough... Got married 6/7/2008...

    Together over 2 years. Knew right away, as soon as we got over our commitment phobias. Moved in together after 6 months. Sadly I expected to at least have a ring by now, but yeah, that's not going to happen.

    I have been married for 11 yrs and I have 5 kids with my hubby and I don't want to kill him most days now. I met him 18 yrs ago when I was 12 and I didn't like him but he was my friends uncle and 18 with major issues. Then we found common ground when I turned 15 yrs old and asked if I could come out and help him with his livestock (Pigs and cows at the time). We went hunting and fishing and camping together with my brothers always in tow and then when I turned 18 he asked if I wanted to marry him, we hadn't even dated (that happened 7 yrs later), we moved in together, got married and had our first kid all in the first year. We had a rocky marriage until a few years ago and sometimes it is still on the rocks because we both have huge Irish tempers and we honestly should slug it out at least once a month. We have 5 wonderful kids though and love each other very much.

    I knew after our first date (I was 18, he was 19) that we'd get married and two years later we did. That was 8 and a half years ago.

    How soon after dating your guy/girlfriend did you know that he/she was the one you wanted to be with? And are you guys still together now (how long have you guys been together?)

    My husband and I knew each other for a few years before we got together. We were friends for about 6 yrs before we started dating. He was married while we were all friends and told me he wanted to be with me. I told him I never thought about that because he was married, eventhough it was so blatantly obvious they were unhappy together. Once he left her, we started talking through email, IM, phone, etc...The divorce became final on May 2 '07, we started dating VERY soon thereafter, talked about marriage in August, ring shopping in September, officially engaged in Dec '07, moved in together June '08, married June '09. We have our issues here and there (since there is an Ex and a child with her) but, I couldnt imagine my life without him!

    I met my now husband over 5 years ago. I was home from college and he was home on leave from the Marines.
    I was 19 he was 21. I knew after 2 weeks I wanted to marry him (little longer for him)
    We got pregnant and he got shipped off to Iraq. He came home and we got married less than 4 months later.
    He got home last Jan from a year in Japan.
    We will be celebrating 4 years of marriage in Feb 2013 and have a 4 year old daughter.

    I don't give my heart away easily. It took a year for me to decide that I was in love with my sweetheart and another year and a half before I was ready to commit myself for life.
    We will be married for 13 years next week. Very happily so. :heart:

    It was very gradual. I wasn't into him at all at first. As I got to know him I grew more fond of him. He's a different kind of person, very unique and smart and I wasn't used to that. Once I understood him, it was like lightbulb, he's pretty cool. Definitely very gradual. Now that I'm so used to him I love him, his personality, and everything he does to try to make my life easier. I can't imagine being with someone else or having someone else treat me and understand me the way he does.

    We got married after 42 days together; we've been married for 23 years as of last month...we love each other more now then when we were first married...we couldn't live without each other. We're soul mates; made for one another; best friends and lovers! :blushing: We love hanging out together, doing the same things; we have a lot of the same interests; but we also have diverse interests and are secure enough to allow each other space to do them. We always make time for each other....our anniversary is always special.

    You get what you put into your relationship; both parties must give 100% to the relationship.

    We broke up last week. He was my first love but I am too young for such a serious relationship I think.
    Maybe if we had met later in life, or maybe in a few years..

    I knew when we went on our first vacation that he was the one. We were together about 7 months before we went on vacation together, when we came back we were inseparable. We moved in together a month after being back from vacation. We've been together almost 6 years, not married. I'm not looking to rush marriage, I'm happy with how things are now. I love him more and more everyday. Except for when he gets on my nerves. Those days I love him a little less. :)

    My wife and I were coworkers while in college in the computer lab. We had alot of opportunities to talk and become friends. I was VERY inexperienced with the whole dating thing and I am also very shy. It was my wife who first asked me out; I'm glad she did. We married about a year later - after I had graduated. We have 3 sons (21, 18, 14) and will be celebrating our 25th anniversary this January.

    I very much was not in touch with my emotional side and didn't really realize I wanted to marry my wife until she took a trip that separated us for a few weeks. That old saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" sure was true for me. My missing her so much helped me see what my feelings were.

    I'm divorced. Enough said.

    Rock on. I'll be out of Shawshank in a few months myself.

    The ex and I got fat together but she lost her weight faster and left to basically go clubbing with a newly single friend (also left her husband). Never trust a woman when she says looks aren't important. I've kept my weight loss going though so I at least have my health.

    I knew me and my bf were meant about a month into the relationship. At first I was unsure because he had two other girls and a crazy ex that still were into him, but he picked me over all odds. Sometime after that, I guess I just knew because we always had a relaxed relationship. We could laugh, joke, and be silly in front of the other. Where I lack in something he is usually good at and vice versa. So we just benefit with each other. After one year of dating we moved into our first place together, a crappy run down one bed room apartment. We survived that and moved into a better place recently and are still together. Hope it stays that way.

    We have our faults, we have our fights, but we have NEVER gone to bed angry with the other. We resolve it in usually an hour or so and we don't turn our backs on the other.

    August 11th 2009 - We met and I tried (& failed) to set him up with my roommate

    August 18th - He took my on our first date

    August 23rd - We had the "DTR" Conversation (Defining The Relationship)

    September 5th - His little brothers wedding... he invited me, but I only agreed to the reception (not the ceremony) & he brought up the "M word" (marriage).

    September 6th - His parents welcomed me to the family and all his siblings (8 brothers with several sisters-in-law) accepted me right away. We agreed that marriage was in our future, and talked about potential wedding dates.

    September 8th - He proposed. I guess he felt like in order to surprise me, he had to act fast!

    December 19th 2009 - Our Wedding!! Next month will be 3 years of wedded bliss (with all the ups and downs! But I'd still rather fight with him, that love anyone else!)

    Editted for typos :smile:

    I'm really just here to tag the thread so I can read all the gushy romantic stories and then hate my life a little bit more because romance has not been in my past and probably won't be in my future.

    Maybe if you try being a little more positive it could be in your future. :flowerforyou:
