How soon is too soon to KNOW?

Been seperated from DS's(2yo) dad for 18 months now. In December I met a lovely guy and have been seeing him since then.

I feel so comfortable with him, he loves DS so much and he absoutely adores me - "just the way I am"

He is the first man I've been with since the split. At the moment I am feeling so happy - more happy than at any point with Ds's dad.

I know it's only a very new relationship, but I cant help feeling that it will be a long term thing.

So, how soon is too soon to KNOW that he is the man I want to be with long term?

sounds like you know already.

Who is to say how soon is too soon.

I'm scared of just how right it feels being with him! Never felt that way with X - which really doesn't help when people say "well, you had his baby - you must have loved him" Actually - no, i got pregnant by a man I was shagging - very different actually.

I have decided to just enjoy it all and see where it goes from here.

Can you see yourself sitting with him in say 30 years time watching telly/chatting etc and just generally being together? If so then I'd say yep - he's the one. This happened to me & when it did I realised my other 'serious' boyfriends were so off mark as I was always 'dreaming' or 'thinking' of the future and they didn't future but when I met my husband he certainly did. 15 years later I can still see us 30 years on blah blah blah....

Who says how soon is too soon.

I try not to think too much of the future seen as I've had a couple of 'The Ones' who turned out not to be!

Enjoy!
