Of course I don't tell him this tho...
As far as he knows if DT asked me to marry him I'd dump the OH for him...

I am a married woman :j0 -
I was a bit of a (okay, okay, a MASSIVE) love-cynic. I genuinely didn't believe that it existed, and that it was all a cruel marketing ploy by Hollywood, Hallmark and people whose hormones were stronger than their thought-processes. And my OH was pretty much the same.
We got talking about an obscure band we both liked, and continued to chat online for a few months. It was incredible. We agreed on all the important things and a huge chink of the silly little things. The things we disagree about we've been able to have exciting, detailed discussions about, which do get heated sometimes, but never turn into arguments. I've shown a few of our exchanges to my mum and friends, and everyone's commented that it's really difficult to tell our written 'voices' apart. People frequently think that messages from me are him and vice-versa.
But the reason that I know he's The One, is that he's the only person I've ever met who I love to touch me. I have abysmal self-esteem and really hate how I look/feel (fat and wobbly! ick!). I've spent all my adult life forcing myself not to flinch away when I'm touched (even a hand on the arm, or an accidental brush makes me shudder) but when OH and I got together, all I felt when he hugged me was a reflection of his happiness that he was hugging me. And that still remains, even now.
We've been living together for a while now,and still I love to come home to him, have my hug and kiss, go to bed with him and cuddle up (I NEVER thought that I would EVER be able to sleep in someone's arms!). Though he hasn't quite made me love my own body, he's totally taken away the deep-rooted hatred for it, just by being open about how much he loves me and how I look.
(also -he buys me Lego, and helps me build with it - even though we're well into our 20s! eeeee!)Life on a shoestring!0 -
Last night / this morning reaffirmed my adamant belief that DH is the one (although it's a bit late if he's not - I've married him!)
When I'm feeling run down or stressed about something I have a tendancy towards night terrors / sleepwalking. Last night I combined the two and did the following:
- Sat bolt upright in bed, swearing and panicking
- Ran downstairs with the light off and started turning the place upside down
- When DH (calmly) asked what I was doing, I answered him (coherently) saying that I really needed to find something as I'd be in trouble if I didn't
- DH offered to help me look, at which point I partially woke up, DH noticed I'd woken a little and walked me to bed and held me as I shook from head to toe.
When I wake from sleepwalking, I get scared. It frightens me that I'm not in control. DH knew exectly how to calm me down. Normally he'd be able to sleep through an earthquake, but he said it was like a sixth sense - he knew I was upset and out of bed.
Read that back and it makes me look a little crazy!Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
I could have written this! I met my OH at a festival - we were both crashing at a mutual friend's flat for the weekend. We chatted and flirted a bit, but nothing more than that as I'm not the kind of person who can go straight into dating someone I've just met, but I thought he was gorgeous and so lovely, just a total sweetheartI knew my OH was the one for me as soon as we met, i felt like i had known him for years and felt comfortable in his company straight away. I had spent afew years being single and loving it
Anyway we got together a few months later after keeping in touch on Facebook, and even right from the beginning I had a funny feeling that this could be it - and I'm not the type to think that about anyone! And just over two and a half years later, he proposed to me with a ring that is just exactly my taste (I'm not a big fan of solitaire diamonds, and like my jewellery to be a bit "different")
and now he's getting excited about what suit he can wear for our wedding :rotfl: It just all feels so right - he's the loveliest person I've ever met - intelligent, thoughtful, kind-hearted and just lovely... and also I quite fancy him really

wow that is scary isnt it, it is amazing what stress can do though. did you find you had them more in the lead up to your wedding?
my worse one was sitting in the car with the engine running because a spider was about to eat me
good job the OH found me when he did Married my amazing hubby on 8th September 2012 :j:j0 -
I knew OH was the one after I thought I'd lost him!!!
We'd only been together a few months, but I knew I liked him a lot and hoped he liked me.
Anyway OH had planned a lovely dinner for us, and told me to meet him at his house for tea after work. Later he txts me to say he's leaving work.
Get to OH's house no answer, no car, no OH!!!
I ring OH mobile, no answer, text OH mobile no answer - it's v unusual for OH not to answer.
I have no keys to get in OH's house, decide to wait in my car, ring OH's work no - His colleague confirms to me 'He left ages ago'
Its only a 15 min drive for OH from work to his house.
I'm mildly panicking ring OH mobile again, his home phone, nothing no answer just rings then voicemail
After an hour or so I decide to head back to my parents house to wait, thinking the worst, he's dumped me.
On the way back I hear on the radio there has been a car accident on the road OH would use between work and his house.
OMG my brain is in overload he's been in that accident, that's why he can't answer the phone.
I decide to head that way as it's kinda on the way home, I can see a red car on a recovery truck, OH's car is red!!!
OMG I head to my parents house in a right state, something's happened to him, the police won't know to contact me, his parents don't have my number, I'm now starting to phone round hospitals.
Then my mobile goes and it's OH's number I answer it and it's him, 'Sorry he says the car developed a fault on the way home, so I took it to the garage, and left my mobile in the car, I thought i'd only be 10mins but it took over an hour'
OH then comes to my parents and I give him the biggest hug and realise then how much he means to me and that I couldn't imagine my life without him, and 7 years later we're married and have a dd together
He is my rock and the best thing that's ever happened to me.:j baby lauren born 06/01/2011 + got married 02/07/2011 :j0
