Did you marry/settle down with the love of your life?

[EdinburghFirstTimer]

Or did you end up with someone else?

Do you have any regrets?

Are you still in touch with any ‘The One’ exes?

Do you miss sex with an amazing ex?

[lachy]

I have married the love of my life. None of my previous partners even come close to just how pure dead brilliant he is.

I'm only in touch with a couple of exes, but only vi Facebook.

I'm very very happy.

[ZarkingBell]

Yes, more than thirty years later we are very much together and lockdown has been a joy from a relationship pov. Not from every other though, like losing my job!

[SqidgeBum]

I dont really believe in 'the one'. I believe you can love a person, and that person can be the 'love of your life', but that doesnt mean its right to marry them. I grew to love my DH, and I married him for more reasons other than just I loved him. We are a good partnership, work well together, he is a great Dad, a great worker, and sees me as equal. It wasn't a whirlwind of love. It was more logical I suppose.

I believe people can have many 'ones' in many different ways, but that doesnt always mean its a good idea to marry them.

I don't really believe in 'the one', but I do think DP is the love of my life. We've been together since we were teenagers and are now in our 30s, so I think we sort of grew into 'the one' for each other over time. We've shaped each other in lots of ways, but I also think we're lucky that we grew together instead of apart. He's my favourite person in the world, along with DD.

We've had a pretty insanely challenging past year on a personal level as well as the global one, and I've been very glad to have him on my team for all of that.

[AdultierAdult]

I don’t believe in the one.

My husband is lovely, probably the nicest man I’ve ever met. I also think he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever dated, but there are a couple of exes where I think - if the circumstances had been right - I could’ve married and also been happy. One moved to China and didn’t survive the distance and with the other we were young and our relationship was very angsty (in fact, Normal People On BBC really rings true!). I’m great friends with both of them now. No regrets, just fond memories. They’re both very happily married to.

[AdultierAdult]

*too.

[lowlandLucky]

Second time around i did. The first time i married it was to a total sociopath, i cant tell you how bad a Husband and Father he was, eviliis the only word that covers it. Now i have the most fantastic man, he is far from perfect (so am i) he drives me nuts at time (as i do him) but we are so content, 60 odd days of lockdown and loving it.

[Latenightreader]

No, because I wasn't his - but his husband seems to be! We are still in touch and I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he hadn't been gay - we were together for a while and he said that if he couldn't be straight with me, he couldn't be with anyone. A compliment I think? I don't feel regretful or sad, just a little curious, a glimpse of a parallel world.

I never married, but that was more to do with the rat who was next, and the nice but dull man after who thought I was the love of his (he's married to someone who looks like me so he has a physical type). I've been very happily single for more than a decade!

[opalescent]

I totally married 'the one'. The most amazing and beautiful man I've ever met. It sounds so cheesy but it's the gods honest truth.

Met him in 2010 and he literally made my mouth go dry with nerves because I fancied him so much. Didn't actually get together until 2014, but are now married with children. He just makes every day better, and I have never before or after met someone who has had such a profound physical effect on me! 😂 it was primal!

[BeakyFace]

I have ended up with the love of my life and very happily settled with him.

However, I don't believe in "the one". I think there are lots of "ones" out there for me, and I met one of those "ones" at the right time and married him.

[savetti]

Hahahahahhahahahaha

Never really loved anyone and I’m too old now

[savetti]

Wasted life

[Heatherjayne1972]

If there is ‘the one’ out there somewhere I’d very much like to meet him

The men I meet always seem to be mr ‘not quite ‘ right

[Babymamaroon]

Yes! I married my soulmate and am very happy.

[MariaDingbat]

I don't believe in the one but from the moment I met my husband I knew I wanted him. Just him. And 14 years later he's still the best, most interesting, kind, funny and hot man I've ever met. He's not perfect but he's perfect for me, as the saying goes. Being pregnant in lockdown and working from home has been so much easier with him here too.

[CherryPavlova]

Married ‘the one’ because we made each other ‘the one’.

Could have been someone else but we both entered marriage knowing we intended it to be a lifelong commitment. We put in the effort to ensure it worked.

I wouldn’t have changed it and we both knew from an early stage that we fitted each other’s requirements very well.

[MacavityTheDentistsCat]

No. He's a lovely, lovely man and we've been married for nearly 25 years but that spark that would make him 'the one' is just not there. So near and yet so far.

[kikisparks]

I don’t believe there’s only one person for us but what I have with my husband is very special to me and I can’t imagine loving anyone more.

[FilthyforFirth]

Not thrilled with my sex life but yes I did marry 'the one'. Despite our rather rubbish sex life I cant imagine being with anyone else and still, perhaps niavely, believe it will improve. Apart from that he is perfect for me.

[HesterShaw1]

I married someone I was well suited to, we loved each other very much and had really good sex. 15 years later we had fallen out of love and were tired of each other so we split up.

Now I am with a lovely chap who suits me down to the ground at the moment, but I don't bet on it lasting forever.

I don't believe in 'the one' either :)

[Useruseruserusee]

I married my first serious boyfriend (met when we were 17 and 18). Both in our mid thirties now with two children and still very happy together.

I didn’t set out to marry my first boyfriend but it ended up that way.

[Stripesgalore]

My marriage was a disaster. I love to hear about people who have wonderful marriages; it must be like winning the lottery, although I know it takes work.

[TheGoogleMum]

I did not settle, I married someone I love and who is a good match for me. We have lots in common and don't get sick of each other's company. I wouldnt say we're totally perfect, but surely no relationship is (things like I'm not so interested in sex since having DD 18 months ago I think he has been finding disappointing, the problem isn't the quality of sex which is always good it's just that I really need my sleep and one of us keeps feeling unwell or too tired)
