[Closed] A Love Story - Three reasons your partner was the one for you....

If you asked me in a non-web way (face to face) I'd say - personality, clever, kind.

Honestly: eyes, clever, boobs. (and many MANY more that I've come to appreciate over the years)

She's mental, gorgeous and the only person who loved me even when I hated myself. We've been together for 17 years

Can't think of three, just one.

She took me back after I left and had an affair.
For that reason alone I will stay with her until I die.

it was love at first sight. petite, blonde, hippy chick. sad but true.

Met by complete chance, somewhere neither of us would normally have been that night (on a Thursday).

Instant attraction across the dancefloor, even though she was out of my league and by her own admission I wasn't her type.

I went to work the next day and told my apprentice that I was going to marry this girl.

Nearly couldn't contact her again, as I had no idea where my mate who was driving (I was pissed) had dropped her off - she lived 20 miles away from me. Remembered next day that she had written her phone number on the car window in the condensation, so had to go to my mates and breathe on the window.

She's the most selfless, thoughtful, considerate (complete opposite to me 😕 ) & generous person I've ever met.

She has two fit sisters

She's dirty

Oh, and we're still in love 18 years on.

bassspine - nothing sad about that, it's lovely.

Crikey - go on... one more... why did you want to get back with her then?

TSY sad thing is, after nearly thirty years, twenty married, we're splitting up 🙁

TAFKASTR - That's a beautiful story.

*I'm starting to enjoy tonight's forum persona, it's giving me a warm glow, or the wine is, mleh, who cares*

bassspine 🙁 Do you want a hug?

The internet doesn't have enough space for me to explain my love for Marylyn

cheers TSY. One for you too?

Because I made a mistake.

I was generally fed up, depressed, midlife crisisey, and took refuge in developing a new relationship with someone younger and who appeared to be more 'fun'.

I realised after 6 hours at my 'new' home that I made a mistake, that it was me who had the problem, not anyone else.

I left and lived with my Dad for three months and asked if I could have another chance, and she said yes.

I messed the other lady about, and I live with the guilt of doing that, but I am eternally grateful that I had a second chance.

great tits, filthy in bed, doesn't mind my porn or booze habits

1. She talked to me.
2. She has her own teeth.
3. Her brother is a good mate.

yeah, please bassspine.

C'mon WCA play the game!

Ok seeing as I'm slightly pissed. Wasn't looking for a relationship,last one was pretty bad ( think hormonal teenaged girls wtb self esteem issues and confused sexuality I'm sure you can imagine) but there she was blue eyes, stunning charming, clever, funny. Fell instantly. Slight problem that she had a boyfriend. Couple of months of me trying to be aloof. (read bitchy) all came to head one midsummer party.

Couldn't be happier

Sound like some lovely chicks there. Shame you're so in love, or I'd ask for an introduction.... 😉

she is proper good fun, has an infectious laugh and is far 'cooler' than i will ever be (oh, and i fancy her a lot too).

not been together long in fairness, and unfortunately shortly after we got together i moved abroad for my job, but skype is great, and she gets relatively cheap snowboard holidays 😉

Jo's brilliant 🙂

emsz, can I ask a question?

If she had a BF, did you have to tread carefully before ending up with her, or did you kind of just know things would be ok?

You know what I mean..

..and cos you are drunkish, you really don't have to answer!

1 - We met

30 seconds before I ever knew she existed I stood up and said to my mate - I am going to meet my wife today (I was 21 and it was lunch time). He laughed. I had my back to the door as she walked in but I pointed behind me and said I will marry her!

I was right, I did and we are still happily married although I am 20 years older.

2 - She agreed to marry me

When i said I would marry her my parents said they would disinherit me (they are loaded) and I said that I didn't care. What I didn't know at the time was they approached her her as well and she also said no.

3 - She still loves me

I work all over the world but she is always glad to see me when I return. The stupid things like finding a post-it note with 'I love You' written on it when you open the wash case is amazingly good feeling.

She was my best friend at school, never kissed her except in games of spin the bottle, didn't see her for 10 years, then she wanted to kiss me, even though she knew who I am. 15 years later just thinking about her makes me smile.

15 years later just thinking about her makes me smile.

Ahhhhh. 🙂

WCA - Is that true? Wow!

Some lovely stories. 🙂

Mine didn't end well though, as I realise I'm just happier on my own ... with my bikes though!

Crikey I sort of knew ( so did she really) I'm not one for cheating. We sort of found excuses to be around each other. A Lot

Auntie C_G maybe you can help me learn from your mistakes though...

TSY (serial dater, fault-finder extrordinaire)

[i]We sort of found excuses to be around each other. A Lot[/i]

Lovely!

she was the first girl i ever went on a date with. in april of this year, after meeting through an online dating site 2 days before my year's subscription was due to end and i'd all but given up hope of ever meeting anybody i'd click with. but click we did; that first date was meeting for tea and cake on a saturday lunchtime in manchester and ended up sharing a bag of chips after a walk in the countryside 9 hours later!
don't think i can actually pick three specific reasons; we just fit together in every way. she's amazing. and i am so lucky, and grateful that she said yes to that first date...

She puts up with me,
She lets me do stuff to her,
She hasnt killed me yet.

TSY - ah but my biggest mistake was marrying at a young age. My second mistake was evolving mainly through obsessive running, followed by mountain biking.

On the positive side, I now like myself. 8)

Are your expectations unreasonable? Or are you finding fault with yourself? Feel free to e-mail, I have a lot of experience with soul-searching/behaviour analysis. 🙂

she was the first girl i ever went on a date with

Wow, your relationship has got Hollywood romance written all over it!

Oh, I forgot to mention - after a string of complete nobbers, I found my mrs to be the only woman I'd ever trusted 100%

TSY- i should add that she's the only one too!
i've had a bit of a weird life, relationship-wise. never did the dating thing, had a couple of girlfriends during school/college years but throughout my 20s i was too into skateboarding, MTB and playing guitar in bands to put any effort into women at all. 30ish saw the start of a 10 year relationship that, with hindsight, was a bad idea right from the start (she was quite a bit younger, and quite damaged). i persevered with things and it almost killed me, but that's all fine now and right now i don't remember ever being this happy.

C_G well they say that finding fault in others is a sub-concious admission of feeling fault in ones-self...

Maybe I'll e-mail you.

TSY (His Awesomeness)

TSY- you don't need a tart, I'm here waiting for you with babby yeti all wrapped up in my tummy (It may actually be a curry and some beer) we can live in a lovely little hut in the woods and sire a tribe of canibal children and ride bicycles and collect flowers to show the world our love for each other.

tazzy! I've missed you. I'm sorry for saying I was going to run off with someone else. I know we can still be happy together. The picture you paint with your words is almost too perfect though, I'm scared that we won't be as happy as I imagine.

T-S-Y It is true and truly wonderful

Tazzy! I've missed you.

we have to make up for the lack of mr phillip due to his being a naughty boy.....let the silliness and LOL cats commence

For most of my life, I've gone on thinking the women I've bin with haven't been good enough for me. Always seeking 'perfection'.

Eventually, I realised it was [i]me[/i] that wasn't good enough for me, and that I'd missed out on potential happiness. 🙁

Ah well. Better late than never, I spose...

Bloody heartwarming, you big hairy Yeti monster.

3 things?

Well, the first thing was ... my ex-girlfriend pointed her out to me and said "She's your type" ! Bonkers, as later that ex tried to split us up in a very vicious way. (Actually phoned her parents and told them a load of stuff). Sam stayed with me through that.
then..
those amazing blue eyes
and..
she puts up with me!

and (4) she's the most intelligent person I know, even if she does say "somethink" occasionally.

Eventually, I realised it was me that wasn't good enough for me, and that I'd missed out on potential happiness.

some people never even get that far fella, they just mess up the lives of all around them, at least you can now move forward and find an elfinella

Bloody heartwarming

Yeah cheers DezB this thread is actually making me grin (could still be the wine though).

Can't narrow it down to just three. He's handsome, funny, sweet and kind, plus puts up with me!

Honesty on STW? Crumbs 😉

Well, after many years of being a complete [s](bloody swear filter)[/s] and enjoying the charms of many ladies, with a few longish relationships thrown in... I finally met an old friend on a trip home for Christmas 10 years ago. It was all very Christmassy.

Married now. She loves riding bikes and camping, she's travelled more than I ever made time for and only about another bazillion reasons. I'm not an easy man to love but I think she does pretty well.

1 - We met

30 seconds before I ever knew she existed I stood up and said to my mate - [b]I am going to meet my wife today (I was 21[/b] and it was lunch time).

I was right, I did and we are still happily married [b]although I am 20 years older[/b].

I'm all for dating younger women, but she was 1 years old! 😯 8)

[i]I'm not an easy man to love[/i]

I wonder if anyone would consider that they are?

Interesting how many say or imply 'willing to put up with me'!

And reading back through - emsz I'll accept your choice of June 21st in the top 3 now! (not quite as good as June 24th, but tonight... and in the spirit of this thread you win!)

bravehotel9er I read it like that first time around... I let it go though... one love and all that.

blimey, one extreme to another on here tonight. I'll do my three although there are lots more than three 🙂

He makes me laugh when I'm sad, looks after me when I'm poorly which is often and is the most intelligent, sexy and lovable chap I know. He annoyed the hell outta me when we were younger because I couldn't leave him alone and I knew I should. 10 years on I still can't stand being away from him. I think I grew on him after a while too 🙂

1. She's
2. not
3. fussy.

3 things?

Absolutely fantastic norks
****ing nbelievable arse
erm....... 😉

Only joking dear, if your reading this. The first two are very true. The rest is filed under 'too many to list'

yin and yang emma, yin and yang!

Thanks for sharing! Did he appreciate you not being able to leave him alone?

1. I fancied the pants of her the very first time I saw her walk through the door at work for an interview , it was like cupid firing the arrow. We were just good mates for 2 years( the pent up lust nearly did me in!)

2. She makes me laugh every day

3. She doesn't rag me too much about the back room being a bike garage.

21 years together and we're really happy ,the 1st 15 we just had a blast going out/on holidays generally just living it up. Then we settled down/started a family and it got even better just a bit less cash to go round (number 2 due in March 😀 )

I'm not sure, I think he liked it really although he still protests even now!!! Anyways, I beat him down and now he can't get rid of me 🙂

[Whispers] Emma he definitely liked it, that's one of the number one reasons for splitting up with someone if the attentions not welcome...[saves that topic for another day]

haha, he hasn't tried to dump me. Not yet anyway.... 😯

Love

At

First Sight

Sounds corny but it's true. Both met a a club when a bit tipsy (pissed). Scrawled numbers on arms and arranged to ring.

Rang and arranged a date.

Saw her in the pub and fell hook line and sinker.

That was 23 years ago and I love her more every day. Happy? You bet!

Met by chance. Found we had plenty to talk about in that deep and meaningless way you do as starry eyed teenagers. We are good foils for each other - lots of trust and we have grown comfortable together over 30 yrs.

Ans she will sit on the back of the tandem 🙂

TJ either you've got a great arse then or you don't rant as much whilst on the tandem as you do on here 😉

Coyote another nice story. Thank god it wasn't the case that only one of you met at the club though...

great arse

I didn't say you are a great arse, I was talking about your derriere!

😆

Coyote me too.

Yeti , told you. Let's call it a good month all round. 😀

Firstly, she is very intelligent.

Secondly, she is stunningly beautiful.

Thirdly, our characters complement each other. Mostly we are alike, but each has traits that the other admires. For example she is very confident, something I lack. Thus, we can learn from each other and grow as people.

I met her in July, knowing from the first date she was the one. She moved in that day, fell pregnant soon after and this time tomorrow will be my wife. I am the happiest man on earth....

RichPenny WOW! Congratulations for, for all of it, good luck tomorrow! Hope you have a great day!

1. Geometry was right

2. Good spec

3. Liked the paint job

Good luck Richpenny 😆

I met Mrs Surfer while I was wasting my time in a dead end job. She encouraged me to go to University and worked two jobs to ensure I got my degree.

2 little Surfers later and we are still listening and dancing to Steely Dan in the Kitchen on a Friday night!!!

She's an awful lot of fun.

She introduces me to new things every single day.

She makes me laugh.

I had typed about 15 more and could've kept going. 3 is a little limited!

RichPenny- have a brilliant day tomorrow!

Hey Rich, that's terrific! Thought you'd been quiet on here.

With very best wishes for tomorrow and your next big event. 😀

Spokes... have as many as you want. It's all about love not rules...

me and mrs toppers were bessies at school. stayed in touch on and off for about 12 years then in 2007, after both going through some shitty times we met up and got together. within a month of getting together we were engaged, on our nine month anniversary we got married and we now have an 11 month old little monster.
i love my wife and my son more than anything in the entire world. she understands me better than i do, and i am eternally grateful to her for every second we are together.

this is the best internet forum thread i've ever read. nice to see nice things written about nice things. big love to you all.

toppers thank you! Love seems to find people in all different ways with various histories... can I ask why nothing happened when you were bessies?

1. the one who i can't be with for another 10 years or so - beautiful mind, beautiful smile, heart of gold, soulmate until i die

2. the one i'm currently with and who could derail number 1 - intelligence beyond words, stunning, heart of gold, intriguing, passionate, hidden depths...

3. the one i should have been with but never can be.... blah blah blah...

What a fantastic thread. Goes from this:

1. Geometry was right

2. Good spec

3. Liked the paint job

( I confess: I lolled 😳 )

To this:

i love my wife and my son more than anything in the entire world. she understands me better than i do, and i am eternally grateful to her for every second we are together.

this is the best internet forum thread i've ever read. nice to see nice things written about nice things. big love to you all.

🙂

Brilliant.

But have you learnt owt Elfin?

I'm ritually burning my jacket to mark the birth of the new me 😀

Cheers all, will finally have a posh pic for the mugshots thread 😀

1) She's gorgeous
2) Shes so unbelievably caring

3) She can do this!!!!! :-

😯

And you let her??!!

she had to follow me in to gauge the speed which would have either made me bf of the week or bastard of the decade if it all went wrong! but as you can see she nailed as I knew she would and thats why Im so very grateful to be blessed with her as it makes me so proud!!!!!!
