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.

This is not meant to be funny because it's true. When I cheated on her, and she stuck with me through years of counseling and healing... never imagined taking a relationship to such a high level.
PS: I do NOT recommend this route.
Most women would've thrown you (or anyone of us) to the wolves and moved on with their lives.
Take a hold of her and don't let go.

did the work and are better for it.
I'm envious of you, too, though---I did the work/counseling for a lengthy amount of time to understand and heal while my ex went thru the motions of going to counseling only briefly when she cheated 7 years and 2 kids into our marriage. Proclaimed herself "healed" and quit going. In reality, though, she couldn't escape her dysfunctional upbringing during which both parents cheated on each other repeatedly and eventually had multiple marriages each .
A dozen or so years later she repeated that same pattern and so ended the marriage. Yes, damaged relationships can heal, but only if both put in the work, as you and your wife have proven. You now have what I strived for. Cherish it and continue to focus on keeping it strong while counting your blessings .
Got down on one knee this past December and I haven't looked back since.

Oh, I try not to give my wife too much flack around here - she sort of gets the whole modding thing and has even sat in for me on liveblogs during games while I watched the game, sometimes when I was at the game. She's a good sport about that stuff and I pay her in my so-called near-gourmet meals.
When did I know she was it? I think when it dawned on me that she accepted me for all that I am and am not (I am admittedly a very odd person with a lot of baggage) and was there for me in some difficult moments personally early on in the relationship (hard to believe that's nearly 15 years ago now). I'd have to ask her for her answer on me, and naturally, she's at work at the moment.
I knew when I watched him eat four large pieces of sheet cake at a party, each in one bite, that he was someone who deserved serious consideration. Also, he continued to help my grandmother walk from the car into a restaurant even though she refused to remember his name.
i presume:
and character is seen in some of the little things (walking with grandma), isn't it?

isn't that the motto?
good for you both.
From the start. Never any doubt. Going on 23 years and can't fathom not having what we do.
Fortunate and try never let a day go by without conveying that.
Love what we have.

I don't remember because Mrs. Clause and I have been married for ~10,000 years.
to snort the bottled water out my nose right now. LOL!
Once those veggies got crushed, weren't you left with nothing but squach?
Anyone else like me... have ever been married? I have never felt like any woman was the one.
Although I find the concept of "the one" to be hokey and harmful, there was one girl I should have stayed with. Instead, I moved a thousand miles away because I thought my career was more important. Still regret it.
P.S. Tons of you lot are old.
I'm looking to offload one and she comes with a one year warranty too.
Are you aware over 50% of marriages end in divorce and the rest wish they were,
.
but i am still not sure if she is the one
Got married when I was 19 and she was 17. Been together for 18 years and counting and it just gets better as we get older. Looking forward to when all the kids are out of the house (3 more years).

and all the important things like values, religion, and a good heart
were totally confirmed about a month into it. Ten Years later....
still going strong!
When I met mine, I knew she was way out of my league hot - but she stuck around anyway. We were living together for a while, and I realized she needed health insurance. Funny thing, if she were my live-in domestic partner I could have listed 'him' as a dependant. But, being female, I had to marry her. Yes, that is exactly why we got married.
Fast forward nearly 10 years, through some righteous crap-ass fights, and I finally realized it when I had to attend my dad's funeral by myself last June. Couldn't afford to board the dogs on short notice, so she and the kid stayed home. I was never so lonely as that week, despite being surrounded by family. That's when I knew... Unreal that it took me almost 11 years together before I figured it out.
When the receipt from the mail order catalog said my check cleared.
I'm so sorry to say this, but my first reaction to your question was
"I saw her ass"
curious what the woman version of that would be?

You're a total fag.
