True love... does it exist

[Sarah_W]

Okay - soppy girlie post. I'm 31, no great desire to get married for the sake of it and no biological clock ticking, but I've dated a few people over the year, been in love twice but never felt it was right. I met soemone last September, fell desperately in love with them scarily quiclkly and am even more in love now. I've never felt like this before and am very sure I've found my soulmate to go through life with, even if we've been together such a short time.

Am I still in the honeymoon period or have any of you folks found a really strong, enduring love?

If you're not single nobody on PH cares.....

[NiceCupOfTea]

Yes. Knew she was the one pretty much straight away and it's just got better over the last 12 years

[Murray993]

Makes a change from the 'my soon to be ex is is going out for nights with various strangers'

Try not to think so much just be happy.

I found true love in Covent Garden on Saturday, by gosh it was costly, never again.

Anyone got a posi drive screwdriver?

In love twice in a year and already in 4 months?

Mental. The mental.

I can assure you it does. I was a bit of a man-hoe' at uni then when i left aged 22, i met my future wife. I knew very quickly that she was the one, and i have never craved anyone else. PMA Positive mental attitude. Its also very attractive....

One changes a lot between 30 and 40.

Unless there's a shared consuming passion, relationships have a natural life-span, I think.

Good luck to you if you've found yours. It's difficult.

I think it's all about perception.

You ARE a true sap- you wrote this in another post

"This may be the best bit of advice you ever get and I'm sure you'll remember it one day...

I made the mistake of letting a couple of partners go when I was younger and now being older, it's far harder to find anyone and you reliase that the good ones go young. More to the point, I suspect if you've stayed together this long then you're a great team and although it always seems like the grass is greener, you run the risk of losing her, to never meet anyone as special again. If you're that into each other, you cna make the kids thing work - how about getting married and agreeing to have kids when you're around 27/28... No relationship will ever be perfect or without doubts/issues.

Think carefully before you let her go as if you do, I suspect you'll remember my post for the rest of your days. "
about a guy who's ex partner had shagged someone else and gotten pregnant.

However if you're both saps and believe in 'the one' then you should be fine (although highly unlikely).

me and my ex fiance were together 4-5 years and it WAS a special time but when we were courting I was very skeptical and cynical and she was more like yourself- it took me a long time to come round -however it didn't last and she became mental. I think you have to have a lot in common and a good 'base friendship' to fall back on for it to endure long term

Hey I remember that post too Rex, good work! I think at the time Sarah was roundly, and rightly, condemned. Perhaps personal relationships aren't her forte.

Sssshhhh.
Lets see how it pans out first !
THEN we judge !

Yikes - bloody typos ;-) I meant years not "year" I've been in love twice in my life from numerous relationships. I may not be very conventional, but I'm not a complete bunny boiler ;-)

Yikes - this was a long time ago, but I remember it. I was new to PH and obviously hadn't read the full post and thread and had no idea she'd cheated AND got pregnant. I was under the impression from my cursury glance at teh thread that he was having doubts about her without a substantial reason. Oooops. Shame I can't go back and cahnge the post. :-(
