How did you know if he/she is the one for you?

Ive been with my boyfriend for almost a year now. I knew he was the one when I realized that he could deal with all of my issues. Believe me, im not the easiest person to be in a relationship with. Actually thats an understatement. Im insecure about myself, I can get very jealous, and I get upset very easily. Im not very optimistic, and I have a short fuse. My boyfriend somehow deals with all of that and never gets upset with me. He says that he loves me regardless. I honestly dont know how he puts up with me.

I think that you need to be sure his family knows about your kid - as the saying goes, you marry your husband & his family - or something like that. They may discourage him from staying with you if they aren't told until after your married (if that's the way it goes).
I knew my partner was the one when he put up with me, i was been in a car accident just before we met & so my brain has a few problems, i have gotten better over the years but still, like the person above said - i also have a short fuse, i am a very jealous person, i forget everything & i have even become aggressive on a few occasions - i am not proud of this but my boyfriend has stuck with me & we've been together 9 years now! We even have a beautiful daughter together!
You'll just know if he's the one:) It's looking pretty good for you, the fact he & your son are good with each other is a very good place to start - having been together 2 years is a good thing too - maybe you should sit him down & maybe discuss marriage, see where the conversation takes you!

for me, i didnt know if my husband is the one for me, i just let our relationship flows.but i often think that if i break up with him i might not be able to find a better man who loves me for what i am.so just follow your heart and see the fact if you say he is a nice guy then and you both loves each other for what you are, then he could be the one for you

can i make a friend with you?
i am a chinese.
hope for you reply^
thanks^

I think there are several people that might be the one for everyone. I think the most important thing is to be friends first. You need to have respect for eachother, and I feel it is useful if you share morals, values and beliefs. You need to be able to live together in peace - constant arguments distroy every relationship. Even if you love eachother you might not be able to live together. But love must be there in orther for a relationship to work.
