How was it different when it was with the man you ended up marrying?

Did you know quite soon that you’d marry? Did the dates feel different from the start?

Just wondering. I hear all sorts about ‘just knowing’ and wonder what it feels like.

I never felt anxious when I was with him. I never had to guess what I meant to him, or what he wanted out of a future with me. He always did what he said he would. I never had any niggly not sure feelings or alarm bells. I trusted him and felt safe with him. He was my best friend. I fancied him like mad. I felt like my skin was on fire when I was near him. Whenever my text alert sounded on my phone, I felt my tummy turn over with excitement. He felt like my fairytale.

Still all true, except the skin on fire thing a bit less so after 15 years marriage. Still fancy the arse off him though.

Oh, I knew within a week I wanted to be with him. We talked about that about three weeks in, and he felt like that too. HTH.

I was with X1 for 17 years, X2 for 6 years including birth of DS...neither time I felt it was destined to last. Met now DH and knew within a few days I'd be with him until one of us dies
