I say this on the '08 board and thought it was such a good thread.
When did you realize that you and FH would be together for a really loooong time?
For me it was probably the summer after we both graduated HS -- he went away to training at West Point and it took soooo much out of us to make it through that summer. But when he came home we realized how much we both needed each other Thats when i realized we'd be together for the long haul.

not to sound like a sap but i knew after the week we met that i wanted to be together for a longggggggggg time and through a whole mess of crap in both our lives and breakups (through these 12 yrs together) we grew up together and especially thorugh the breakups i knew he was the one and it would hurt but we needed it to get to this point...we were soooooooo young we needed to see what we werent missing out there...lolol

I knew after about the first week or so. I kept telling everyone that he was not like any other boyfriend I'd had. I turned out to be right!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....
I knew before we started dating- I swear.
We hung out a few times as friends the summer before our junior year in college and I knew he was a keeper so I was hesitant to start dating because we had a good friendship. I knew that once we were to start dating, that it would be forever.
A month after we became 'official' I was heading off to LA for a semester and I told Matt that it was up to him if he wanted to stay with me since I was leaving - and he sat on my bed and had tears in his eyes as he said he wanted to stay together and that he loved me. We've been together ever since and I waited patiently for the day for him to ask me to be his wife - 3 years later.

When I was at the 7 year mark...I thought, there is no turning back now!! Seriously, though, I knew, when he was there for me during a hard time in my life. He helped me through it and told me he will love me no matter what. I almost melted!!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....
Great question. Its hard to say with me...when I started dating FH I was confused. I was actually with someone...and then FI stole me away..but I was feeling guilty..and a whole bunch of feelings..plus my family wasnt too happy. I dont remember an exact date or event..but I would say about a month or so into our relationship.

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....
like bettyb, it is hard for me to pinpoint an exact day too. i think i knew it after our first month together when he went to Oman to serve in the war - i mailed care packages and couldnt wait for his phone calls, i knew we'd date for a while. it wasnt till 10 mos into our relationship when i had to make the toughest choice of all - leave my family and move w/him to fl so we could be closer to his son. everyone told me not to, but things were so great between us that i knew i'd regret it if i didnt try it out.
luckily everything has worked out and i know that he is the only one that can deal with all of my issues and still love me - lol
im the only one in the world that would deal with his ex wife and still love him...
its a match made in heaven

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....
About 2 weeks into our 'official' relationship it was the one year anniversary of his grandfather's passing. I took off from work to go with him, having gotten hurt and spraining my ankle the day before. I knew it meant alot to him, so I went, and when he pulled the chair out of the trunk for me at the cemetary, and then helped me out to his grandfather's gravesite and told me that he wanted to 'introduce me' I just knew. His grandfather was extremely close with FH and that was the first time he told me that he loved me and told his grandfather that we would both be back for years to come.

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....
My Fh and I had broken up due to him having to leave for work in Philadelphia. We realized the timing wasn't right because I was finishing my Master's and he needed to be in Philly. It was the worst decision we both made, because we missed eachother so much, and the thought of being w/o each other was killing us.... well, he came back and got a job here on LI and we never spent a day apart since!!!!!

Almost 10 years ago when I met FH I turned to my best friend and said that is the man I will marry and guess what almost ten years later we are getting married

It was our first real vacation together in San Diego. Waking up everyday together and being together 24/7 we both knew this is what we wanted forever.
