I’ve been with my partner for 10 months, I love her, but I still have some doubts about our future together for different reasons.
So how long did it take you to realise your partner was “the one”?
If you write “first time we met” I’ll disregard your comment, you can’t know that you’re compatible with someone until you actually know them.
Love at first sight is not a thing, but attraction at first sight is, and those two are different things.
No such thing as “the one”. It’s probably different for everyone. You have to go through enough experiences together to really know
I knew within a few days. And we have been married for over 25 years

Totally agree. Honestly never had a doubt with mine as I said above…
I had a hunch after the first date, and I knew for sure no later than a month in. Engaged a month later. Married 15+ as of right now.
First time she stayed at my house, I slept on the floor, she slept in my bed. I still lived with my parents. I woke up that next morning and she was no longer in the bed. I peaked out of my bedroom door to see her sitting at the dining room table having coffee with my mother and father.
Not to mention the first time she met them, she had them on their heels whenever she deadpan replied to a joke they made and they thought they really really offended her. It was hilarious.
I knew I liked her. Knowing my parents liked her too made it easier for everything to come together.
It was all I ever wanted and it doesn’t matter anymore
3.5 years.
Honestly, the moment I laid eyes on her. Not kidding. That was almost 30 years ago and I still feel the same.
It took 56 years just to find her.
Married 35 years. We met a year before we started dating – I knew that she was the one after the first 6 months, then it took me a couple of years to convince her.
She and I have been together for 27 years. 3 grown kids. About 10 days ago, I realized this must be the real deal.
Was fairly sure after about 10 days.
When she tracked me down a month after we met.
She lived 90 miles away from me and we had no contact after hanging out together for a couple of days at Octoberfest in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She had a boyfriend, I had a girlfriend, but we both were getting ready to break up with them. How we met there is another long story so I’ll save you from that.
I gave her and her girl friend a ride home after the fest and we said goodbye and I thought that was that.
She looked me up in the phonebook a few weeks later (pre-internet) and left a message to call her if I wanted to. I had thought about her every day and wished I had her phone number so I could call her. She wasn’t in the phone book.
I called her, asked if I could see her again (we’d both broken up with our girlfriend and boyfriend by then) and she said yes. It turned out she was thinking about me a lot, too.
I drove up, took her out to dinner, and realized she was the one. We did the long distance relationship thing until she said she wanted to live closer so we could see each other more often.
We ended up living together and got married a year later.
We’ve been married 48 years.
If you’re having doubts, you should act on them. Life is too short.
