How did you know he was the one?

This is kind of disgusting, but it was when I got sick at his place and he tried to take the dirty tissues from me. I protested because that's gross and we'd only been dating about a month and he said it didn't bother him at all. I knew if he wanted to be by my side through the grossness that he must really care about me. I also told him I loved him that night when I was drugged up on nyquil.

I knew he was the one when he came with me to my baby's grave after our first date.

It wasn't a moment.. I just knew

My FH proves to me in little ways everyday that he's the one. It's the small things in our relationship that matter the most. Looking back, I've realized the small things have actually turned out to be the big things. The things I love the most.

We met in 7th grade. I knew he was the one when we got back together in college and he supported me through everything... I don't think it was one specific moment. It was just over time

We went out one night with a bunch of friends and someone spilled their drink on my favorite boots and stained them. When I woke up in the morning he was washing my shoes in the sink. It's such a random thing but I was just struck by how kind and loving that was. All for a pair of shoes, just because he knew I liked them.

I just knew. It took him some time to figure that out.

I don't think there was one specific moment, but everything just came easy with him. I'm super introverted but opening up to him couldn't have been easier and when I wasn't opening up he was prying to get to know me lol. We went through some serious strains in the very beginning of our relationship that he stuck by me through and I guess that was what really stood out and made me realize it was real.

I'd suspected he was it for a while, but I was certain when he went out into a massive storm because he thought he saw a kitten running past the window. There was wind, rain, hail, but no stopping him. He came back with the little guy in my avatar, and I knew he was the one.

I knew I was in love with him when he went out of his way to help me get ready for a coed baby shower I was hosting, for friends he had yet to meet. He showed me early on how he could be a great partner and someone I could rely on, which in turn made me want to be a better partner. And it keeps getting better! Like someone else said, it is also the easiest relationship I've ever been in.

I'm a crazy mother fucker. No matter how mean or miserable I am, FH responds to me in the most patient, kind, and caring way. His patience is what showed me he's the one.

I knew my Fiance was the one when I left him after spending a long weekend with him. I had drove down all the way from Ontario to Minnesota and when I had to go home I cried pretty much the whole way to the Wisconsin boarder. It felt like I left a part of my soul there. Later on he told me he fell in love with me even before I came to meet him the first time.

I knew he was the one after he refused to abandon me like everyone else had. There was not one single moment although before we started dating (I was with my ex, FH and I worked together), he says that I reacted some way to something that happened and he told me that he was going to marry me. He made it sound like a joke because he jokes around a lot but he knew before we even got together.

I've always been a huge holiday person and so when he and I first started dating I suggested that we dye Easter eggs together for fun… He agreed and immediately suggested that we go to the mall and take our picture with the Easter bunny. He one upped my holiday spirit. I was pretty sure before that, but in that moment I knew I had found my person.

He was my best friend for 4 years and the only guy to never let me down.

I couldn't put my finger on it-- DH and I started dating in HS, and six weeks in, I *knew*. We went to college together, and after a decade finally got married. There was no 'wow, I *know*!' but now we're up to 26 years, so I know we made the right decision.

My FH and I met online and had a LDR for the first 5ish months. We would talk on the phone constantly and text all day every day. We talked on the phone every night before I went to bed (I was on PST and he was on CST so the 2 hr difference was a little interesting). He never complained about staying up until 1 or 2am to talk to me and once I visited him about 6 weeks in, I found out every time we talked on the phone he would be sitting in his truck outside his house. He had terrible service inside his house so would always just sit in the cold to talk to me. My heart cracked in half when I found that out and it was all downhill from there!! He treats me like a queen and is so wonderful that sometimes I'm not sure how I got so lucky to be with him!

I really like this thread!! I love how positive it is!!

There was a very distinct moment I knew my FH was the one. About 3 months into our relationship we had planned a double date with the mutual friend who set us up and his now fiancé. We were supposed to go bowling, but the bowling alley had a 2 hour wait when we got there. So we decided to go ice skating instead. I had never been ice skating before and it turned out I was TERRIBLE at it. He spent the whole night holding my hand and teaching me how to skate. He had to help me up after falling about a million times. I even managed to pull him down with me once or twice. He was so patient and loving the whole time. Riding home in the car that night, I just knew. We've been together 4+ years now and are getting married in 11 months.

I knew the potential was there very early on. We were 16 and had only been dating for a couple weeks, but I could picture us having a family together. DH was a year ahead of me in high school, so he was already in his junior year when we started dating, and we started having really serious conversations about where we wanted to go to college and doing a long-distance relationship for a year by the time we'd been dating for a few months. I remember being in tears after he told me that he got into the college he wanted, because I was thrilled for him, but it was also 300 miles away and that was terrifying. Today is our 10 year "dating anniversary"!

When I mentioned one night that I was running a race the next morning, and he showed up at 7am with handmade signs all along the race course. That night he took me out to an airsoft range for a zombie-shooting game, and I was like "this guy GETS me"! He supports me, takes time to show me how important I am, and even impresses me when we're arguing with how mature he is. Like night and day from most of the guys I've dated.
