How do you know if DP is the one

[Toknowanything]

I have a very good DP but I was just wondering how do you know if they’re the one. Or, how do you know if they’re not the one?

Anyone?

Or, what signs that Dp isn’t the one?

I thought I'd found 'the one'. That he was my knight in shining armour. Turns out he was just a cunt in tin foil.

I don't believe in 'the one' tbh. I believe in 'the person that's not perfect, but is good enough' He's dependable, caring, thoughtful and loving. He'll do.

Yeah 'the one' is utter bollocks and the cause of a lot of bad choices as people put so much expectation.

My husband balances me out perfectly, is an amazing dad, supports everything I want to do and just happens to be really good looking IMO too.

Do I fantasise about getting to feel those early, fun days of being in early love again? Sure. But I choose to choose my husband everyday because he's brilliant.

If you are looking for 'the one' I don't think you'd ever be sure. With billions of people to chose from it could be anyone and the options are vast. If you are looking for someone that is the best for you in that moment then you might get luckier.

I don't believe in soulmates or anything, but I do believe in "the one" as shorthand for "this is the person I can see myself being with forever". I got to that point very quickly with my partner, and never really questioned it since.

I suppose for me, it's feeling safe with him, missing him when he's not around, getting excited at the thought of marrying him and maybe one day having a kid that's half his DNA and half mine... We have the best time together, our interests fit perfectly, he looks after me when I'm ill, and he's one of the funniest, kindest people I've ever met. I never want to lose him! That's how I know.

Because he's a thoroughly kind, decent, caring person who has flaws and is completely grounded in who he is. Most of the time I feel entirely grateful that he ever stumbled (drunkenly) into my life. I am a better person for living with him all this time.

He's literally my best friend, I couldn't imagine not seeing him every day. I look forward to seeing him when I get home from work and whenever something happens he's the first person I want to tell. I'm so excited to have a little person in a few weeks that's half of mine and half of his. Home doesn't feel like home when he's not there.

I think my dh is the one for me in my life as it is now. Had I met him ten years ago he probably wouldn't have been. Hes caring, kind, affectionate, loving, puts me and the kids first always, I can rely on him completely, hes intelligent and funny, and we have similar values and goals. He make some smile and laugh every single day. And hes an excellent cook. Hes not perfect, but then neither am I, perfection is an impossible standard. But he is perfect for me.

I knew after about 3 weeks he was the one for me, but it took a good long time after that before I admitted it to anyone, him included, and he was very patient with me, never pushed, was open about his own feelings without expectation.
, and just waited for me to come to my own conclusions.
