3 months, been together 10 years now. looking back I of course didn't love her as it was too early to really know her enough - but luckily the intense liking did turn Into real love further down the line

Completely fair. I think I'd love anyone that bought me a cat.

Show quote history

i will always remember because i was about to leave to go home and he was giving me a hug... and he said 'im gonna really complicate things now cos I love you'....

Laiste · 21/12/2023 21:40

How did i know? I dunno! But i felt i loved him.

He said it to me and i heard myself say it back and knew i meant it.

I still get butterflies when he looks into my eyes 😊
(sorry, vom inducing, but true)

Bbq1 · 21/12/2023 21:41

Almost straightaway, it was instantaneous for both of us. Married 24 years, together 26.

xtwilight · 21/12/2023 21:43

5 months, together 5 years ☺️

ThunderSnacks · 21/12/2023 21:45

A year. But I didn't mind because his actions spoke louder than any words, which was new for me.

Engaged about a year after that. Married for four years with two children now.

DramaAlpaca · 21/12/2023 21:47

Very quickly, about date three I think though we'd known each other as friends for ages before that. Together 35 years now, married 33.

VeronicaSawyer89 · 21/12/2023 21:49

6 weeks, been together for 30 years.

I love it so much. I think a lot of posts I've seen recently are quite negative and I just wanted to read something more positive, and all the comments have made me smile lots!

Littlebitpsycho · 21/12/2023 21:50

My OH told me before we even went on our first date that he was going to make me fall in love with him 😳

I maybe said it after 3 weeks? He said it after 1 🤣🤣

DilemmaDelilah · 21/12/2023 22:10

He said it after about 4 weeks. I said it after about 2 months. Together for 17 years, married for 7 years.

WhiskersPete · 21/12/2023 22:36
