Ambrose2007: Thanks, Ginger...that's more or less how I pieced it together as I thought about it (one problem is that I've been only checking in on this thread erratically, so I kind of lose the "flow").

Jeff


I also believe that anyone, at any time can be "the one". You just have to make up your minds together that this is so, then set out to work at that....

The problem with this is that it rarely happens that two people are of the same mind, or even want to make up their minds that this can work. People get distracted and change their minds, or decide to consider other things more important...... then it ends.

It's all about being willing/wanting. If you will/want it and the other person wills/wants it and you both work at keeping on willing/wanting it, then it will happen every time, forever if you will/want it to.

It isn't my way of thinking, Al. It's simply reading what the question is and answering it. Or at least I thought that was awfully simple...dunno confused

alabamabebe: That's not what you asked originally, you asked how long before you know . There's no answer to that question, especially not from us obviously single people. If we'd ever figured out when it was right we'd still be married now wouldn't we?


That's true, Bebe - the title of the thread was intended as a tickler; I explained in more detail what the "real" question was in my original post. Of course, no one "knows" in any absolute sense, so practically it must come down to a matter of belief.

Ambrose2007: How long on average has it taken you to decide that your romantic partner is marriage material?

Practical issues of timing (financial, school, or otherwise) aside, how long have you usually needed to decide whether the person you're with could be a lifelong partner?


My late ex and I knew the minute our eyes met. We knew we found our soulmate and that we couldn't live without each other. We both felt like we'd gotten hit by a runaway freight train. We felt like we had been together before. We used to talk about it.

It would have worked for life if he hadn't found Drugs/Alcohol, which he used to numb the pain of everyday life. J was the only guy I met that told me I was the only one who could keep up with him in how his mind worked and I didn't use drugs or alcohol to do so.

He was a nerd and never felt comfortable with others until he had loosened up a bit. It is a real shame he took the path he did b/c the world lost a great mind when he started using.



But back to your question. It is a hard call to make. there are no right answers.

I've heard of people who knew the instant they met and had been together through old age to die within a short period of time of each other.

I've also heard of others that spent years even decades b4 admitting it to themselves then wondered why they had waited so long.

It's something that if each of us could figure out we wouldn't need to be here at CS.

Well if you and this partner has alot of thing in common, well then it might be the right person for you.

I have been there, and i thought that this one guy was my partner for life, and even he told me that after we got engaged his friend told stories and lies, so he believed his friend so to me i still think he might have been the person i have been waiting for.

It's not something you decide on, if you and the partner feels the same way and you think it's your partner for life, then there is nothing to be scared....

He wasn't the partner for you darlin...because if he was willing to believe lies about you over the truth....that certainly wasn't showing you he loves you...If he was the right one...he simply would have told his friend..."I'm sorry but she told me the story and truth...and I believe her so drop it"...but he didn't do that...so that tells you a lot right there...the right man would still be with you because he loves you...no matter what trouble anyone tries to drum up!!!!!!!!!!
