OT - How/When Did You Know Your Spouse was 'The One'?
Mates,
Lets try a more positive thread, hopefully something interesting too. I note that the MgoSpouses take some fairly regular heat on the blog. But at some point in the past you made the decision that he/she was 'The One', the wife or husband that you decided to plan the rest of your life with. So do tell, what character traits, common interests, anecdotal stories, adventures (G rated), moments in time, whatever it was that caused you to pop the question or say 'yes' to the question?
This could be answered by those with significant others and the engaged Mgobloggers too, if they care to share.
Hope you are enjoying your Saturday. I will note it is snowing here.

I'm sooooooo not getting involved in this thread....
your story isn't one to forget either, and it ended about as bad as they get. here's to your healing on all fronts from that.
When she told me so...
told me so
Pretty much. "Shit or get off the pot!" Or whatever she said.

We both got food poisoning in the middle of the night while living in a one bathroom apartment (pro tip: avoid airport tacos when flying back from Mexico). After that we knew we could make it through anything together.

Is that you, Neo?

Cause I spent 24 fucking years in hell with one that most certainly was NOT the one. I knew on the first date that no way would I ever do better then Jill. She's the most amazing person I've ever met. Loves sports, great mom, great cook, funny and awesome in bed.
First date I just knew she was hot and really nice. The rest I learned over time.
WHORE WHORE WHORE
and i won't be forgetting it any time soon. she helped him get over cancer
on a more light-hearted note, one of the all-time great videos re: finding a wife is here:

the 'hot/crazy wife index'.
why is it that you have to get married to spend the rest of your life with someone, that seems stupid
but done well, it is a blessing beyond measure. that's why you get married.
MOD EDIT - the original comment was simply rude, so we're going to make a minor course correction perhaps. Let's try and be better than calling someone's statement "fucking stupid". How about we expound on that and explain why you disagree, eh?
why? and what is your experience being married?
literally nothing should change because you get married. you shouldn't need marriage to take the commitment to the next level, you shouldn't need marriage to feel secure in the relationship with the person you live. it's literally nothing but a fucking piece of paper
B. it's a lot more than a 'piece of paper'
It's a legal covenant. Ask anyone that has been divorced.
It's a commitment made before family, friends, and community. It is public and binds the two to what they've have promised before everyone.
It is not "a piece of paper."
if you think it is just a piece of paper then you are wrong and should not be considering getting married anytime soon

He probably thinks girls have Cooties...
If people getting married makes you this angry, you have issues.
This sounds like the teenager I just heard next door yelling at "mom" about how naive she was.
The least significant part of marriage is the piece of paper.
We had been dating for a few years and living together for a year or so, I saw her on tinder. Obviously I swiped right.

When she said she wanted to get married. Then I broke up with her. Not good at commitment.
It wasn't at first sight or any of that horseshit. It was one night at a bar with friends, we started writing notes on napkins to one other across the table, mercilessly mocking each other, our friends, and everyone in the room. The fact that she not only appreciated my brutal sarcasm but could keep right up with it; I knew right then that she was the one for me.
I talked with her many times on the phone, because the girl I was dating didn't answer her phone and it always rolled to my future wife. We planned to meet at a bar where my buddy and I played pool so we could hook up her friend with mine. No kidding - the moment she walked in, I turned my head and there she was. I followed her all the way through the bar to where we were standing.
A few weeks latter we were talking on the phone again and we both mentioned that we broke up with our 'other'. The next night we went on a date, got engaged a year later, and married a year after that. It's been mostly great, but you get out of marriage what you put into it.
Met her in October, ran into her again in December, for all intents and purposes we were living together in January. Now 26 years later...
About a year or two into it, I came to the realisation that she was the exact opposite of my mother and sisters.
When I licked her butt and didn't want to throw up.

You used a taste test to find your soulmate?
The method is a little unorthodox.
What the heck, if it works, it works.

settled things between you two AND stopped her from choking all in one????
I cannot stop laughing. Might be because my high school football coach once told me: lick a girls ass, and she'll love you forever

Heyohhhh!
Tight End Coach???
Did it taste like dirty pennies? I've had that experience multiple times and now can't get that thought out of my head.

Maybe you just choose women with poor hygiene?
So is this what you had in mind, XtraMelanin?
and whenever i am an OP i try to make it something that at least some signif percentage of the folks will be interested in. and yeah, some warm hearted sentimental stories are good for the soul. maybe some guidance for the unmarried amongst us too.
she told me she was majoring in social work and would have $45k in loans upon graduation. I love me a woman saddled in debt.
I met mine on MGoBlog when she said she made $79 dollars an hour from home. I initially negged her, but it was a neg filled with sexual tension.
I tell my girls to be nicer to the boys that come from rich families. I don't know if it wrong or not but I do know being broke sucks.
Drinking a Grapefruit Sculpin (just finished a Pineapple). Don't remember when I knew she was the one, but will never forget the feeling I had right after I purchased the engagement ring. I felt real good, real good. Knew I was making a good move. Cheers.
