Did you fall for your husband before he fell for you?

If so, how was it? Did it take ages or grow slowly?

Just thinking about how things can go at different paces for different people sometimes. Most people I’ve met and my last relationship it took me ages to feel the same, although I did in the end. I’ve not been on the other end of it!

I’m trying so hard not to get ahead of myself! Love reading these though!

Erm, second date? He could still be the Boston Strangler!

the French have a saying that in any relationship there is one who kisses and one who turns the cheek.

In a patriarchal society, it only makes sense that a woman should be sure to be the one who turns the cheek.

I chose likewise and had a very successful marriage until we divorced. But we were together a long time.

We’d been texting for a few weeks. When we met at the train station it took every ounce of willpower not to hold his hand. That was that. He told me after a couple of months and I said it back. 4 years now and solid as a rock. It’s a great peace.

I’m so sick of online dating and dating in general. I would love to meet someone and for it to just feel right.

These stories are so lovely to read.

DH saw me from across the room and told his friends that I was going to be his. When I first was introduced to him, I felt like he was someone special to me.

We got together a few months later and he told me he wouldn’t say he loved me until he really meant it. I was happy with that as I’d recently been with someone who wore out the words ‘I love you’. We’d been together for about a month and he told me he loved me.

He is my everything and we got perfectly together. We both just knew.

We have a collie crossed with a golden retriever and he is the most easy going dog! He's playful and friendly but also, will quite happily spend 5-6 hours a day snoozing.
He's never been any trouble and we had him from a pup at 8 weeks. Never needed the crate, he was happy enough under the kitchen table.
He's ridiculously clever (yet equally stupid). Its a great mix. The hybrid name is 'Gollie' but to us he's a mongrel/cross breed and a very much loved part of the family!

I fell in love with him first. It took him 23 years. But when he fell, he fell good and proper!

23 years?!

We both knew by the end of our first date that we had something really special and by the end of our second date we said we loved each other. We moved in together after two months. We are not married yet as we are saving for a couple of things but we got engaged after five months and we have been together for almost three years!

Mine gently pursued me for years and then one day he walked into a room I looked at him and was oh its you I love you how did I not know that he moved in three weeks later that was twelve years ago.
