To think I've met 'the one' after 3 weeks?

I don't know if I necessarily believe in the idea of 'the one' but didn't know how else to phrase it.

Met just over three weeks ago in a pub. Talked all night til 6 in the morning. Seen each other every free minute since. I feel like we both just know.

I've had some utterly horrific experiences in the past and this is so so different. It's like my gut knew as soon as I saw him. He's incredible. I'm just so happy. Smile

Anyone else experienced something this? I didn't even know it was possible to feel this way. It took me a year last time I was with someone to even feel about one-tenth of how I feel now. Eeeeek!

I was engaged to DP within 2 months of meeting and married within the year.

We'll celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in September.

Prior to DH all my relationships I ‘fell into’, even married a boyfriend as we’d been together for 6 years and felt like ‘we should’ (& divorced in a year).

Met DH online. Went out for a meal and they had to kick us out of the bar (only drinking soft drinks). Been married 11 years and have 2 children. I knew. It was totally different.

Trust your gut!

A lot of women who did that lived to bitterly regret it.

Bad advice. Bad.

Watch and wait, OP. If it's going to last it's worth that.

I was head over heels with DH immediately. Not sure I believe in “the one” but I believe in love. We’ve lived together since our 3rd date and I was certain we’d have a life together.

Met and he proposed three weeks later. We were certain. Golden wedding this year. It can happen.

The original thread was from nearly 4 years ago. Op has updated saying they are now married with a baby

Lovely update!

I’d thought I’d been in love before but as soon as I met dh I realised that I’d never felt like this. We went on holiday after two months (my poor dm was terrified that I was going to be trafficked) and got engaged while we were away. My dm had a quiet word asking if I was sure and telling me I could back out anytime, she wouldn’t judge!! 25 years and two kids later we’re still blissfully happy. My mum grew to love him like another son.

I remember reading this at the time and thinking how similar a situation it was to myself and DH. We’ve been married nearly 20 years now and have 3 children and I still get butterflies when he walks through the door 🥰 When you know, you know! 😍

I had the same. Met my DP and knew instantly. He said the same. I was his girlfriend after 3 or 4 weeks, and we said I love you not long after that. Some people said it was too fast.

Been together 3 years now and living together, very happy 🥰

Good luck!

I forgot about this post! We are now married, homeowners with a baby, and very happy 😀

Awwww just seen the update 😭 how amazing. Sometimes you just know!

Tabsysnook · 24/01/2024 21:33

Oh wow! How lovely! I knew after 3 weeks too. It’s been 15 years now 🤗

Sapphire387 · 24/01/2024 21:37

Yes OP! Love your update. Met my DH at a similar time to you - also now married with a baby. We just knew. He is my person.
