Is this how relationships are supposed to be?!

Im 30 and I have only dated men up until this year. Usually with men it’s felt quite forced, especially in the early days, but I have ended up loving and enjoying sex with some of them. When people said to me ‘you know what it’s like when you first start dating you want to spend all of your time together’ I never understood that but I thought there was something wrong with me like avoidant attachment or something.
A few months ago I met my girlfriend and then realised I am bi or maybe gay but still figuring that out. So far it’s been great. If I’m having a bad day, just spending time with her makes me feel so much better. I can’t wait to see her and miss her so much when we are apart. It’s the best sex of my life and it’s like time stops when we are together. We have had minor disagreements but have worked through them and they have brought us closer. I’ve never felt this way before!

So my question is, is this normal for how relationships are? can people have this with more than one person in their life? Or is this special / rare and have I met the one and she just happens to be a woman?

It sounds wonderful, OP.
This is exactly what I felt like when first dating my DH.
All you need to do is to enjoy each moment of what sounds like a loving, thoughtful & mature relationship
I’m so happy for you!

If you are happy, enjoy it and don't worry about the rest. who knows the answer to whether or not you could be as happy with someone else? No one. Let the relationship develop and grow.
