When did you realize you were dating the right partner?

She likes when I put it in her butt.
I always knew. It felt right from the start. The way we communicated, the way we laughed at the same stupid stuff, the way she looked at me, I just knew. Being with her just felt natural and right.
When I realized I didn’t feel the need to pretend to be someone else when I was with her. That’s when she broke up with me.
When I worked a 24 hour shift in the military and I still took the time to drive over to spend time with her, and I ended up falling asleep with my head on her lap. That was the first time someone gave me, genuine, compassion, and understanding. She actually cared about what I went through enough to give me peace so I could rest.
I still think back to that time we’ve been married 15 years.
I know pretty early on. I know I’m dating the right person when thing are just easy and we’re not playing the normal dating “games.” It’s almost not like “dating” at all. Like you can just hang out. You don’t NEED to plan formal dates. And there’s a lot of conversation between “dates.”
After it was too late
I had to go to the hospital. It was an ER visit kind of thing, but not (say) straight from a date or something. When she found out, she came and found me just to sit with me in the lobby.
About two months after the breakup.
When she started making my lunch every day for 5 years, before we had kids. Every now and then she’ll still do it. Married 10+ years.
30 mins after we met. October 5th 1988. I found that person.
When they enter your life as if they have always been there.
There were many things but the biggest thing that stood out to me about how different this relationship was:
For the first time, I also felt desired.
From the start. It seems to happen when you least expect it. For instance, I wasn’t interested in having a relationship and wasn’t looking for one. I just wanted to stay single. What I see as a perfect woman to be with suddenly just kind of plopped into my lap. Now we’re parents of 2 and have a happy family.
When we didn’t fight over stupid stuff. Truthfully, the realization that I should marry my wife just snuck up on me and hit me all of a sudden.
I haven’t felt that yet. I thought I did. I really did but he was faking his personality and lying to me 😥😢
