The moment....

[Emily-aaronsgirl11]

Alright moms. I know this doesn't have to do with the Nuke program, but I've come to love you all so much!

I wanna know... When was the moment that you knew your husband was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with? :)

Just curious!

[Josie(PIR11-5)ET_A_SCHOOL_1107]

 

I am not sure what your question is?

[elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO)]

I don't know if that was Fraudian or not but you said "wouldn't."   ;)  I;ll have to think about how to answer that.

[Emily-aaronsgirl11]

ahhhh!!! I DID! haha. 

 

Sorry! Let me rephrase that :)

When was the moment you knew you WOULD spend the rest of your life with him. :)

[Wendy (nuke mom)]

One month after I met him. It was Thanksgiving & the first time we were apart. I was alone in my childhood bedroom when it hit me.That was decades ago so I don't remember the details but I do remember the feeling excited, almost giddy.

Are you thinking that Aaron is the one?

[Emily-aaronsgirl11]

I think I figured out he was the one about a year ago when he left for boot camp... And for some reason I decided to stick around for this crazy roller coaster ride. I really wouldn't trade our relationship for the world. 

 

I was just looking for some stories. :) Hope I don't sound nuts! haha.

We were set up on a blind date. He had called once to ask me out..called on a Friday night and call lasted about 1 minute. Called again on Tuesday night to comfirm adn we talked 1 1/2 hrs. When he picked me up(9/11/81) and I opened the door my 1st thought was 'so this is what my husband looks like" yep 6 weeks later we were looking at engagement rings although he ended up buying a 69 CamaroZ28 instead amd I didn't get the ring until May since he was going to earn the money for it plowing snow all winter and of course we had the least snowfall that winter ever!!!! and then we got married 10/8/82!

Boys and their toys. ;)

1st night I saw him I don't remember (it was at a bar friends where in town)

2nd night he talked to me he remember my name I looked at a friend and asked who the hell is he and why does he know my name? yes I was really hammered the first night..lol

Found out he lived in a frat which meant boys and free beer yes I was cheap not with guys just didnt spend money on beer

I never did spend money on drinks (stupid boys)

It seemed he was allways there he never left.. I told friend I know I don't like him but I know I'm gonna marry him. which I would never admit that because when guys got to attached I would run like the wind I think I was a true male at heart

He went home for x-mas (NJ) phone bill went up it was sad not seeing him every day. He came back and helped convince me to go to rehab(anorixa here )  by summer he went home we did the long distance thing phone bill went up.

He called and said move (it took 2 years for me to give up my counselor) and I did and that was the end.called dad he planned and did all the wedding stuff Flash forward almost 20 years.....

Awww! Mary! Thanks for sharing! Sounds like he was just what you needed. :)

Emily, I was the runaway bride not once,but 3 times... all wonderful guys but something (that inner voice we all have but often don't listen to) told me, "not forever, not for me." Rings, dresses, announcements in the paper, then, I'm outta here. Moved to a new city, took a new job, drowned my sorrows talking to an older, wiser woman at the barn (horse people are the BEST listeners) and she mused "you should meet my son, I have a feeling you two would hit it off." Long story short, she was exercising my horse for me one day, horse fell, woman was hospitalized, son rushed to her bedside, I walked into the room, and 1st thing he said was "YOU! I'm gonna kill that stupid horse of yours!" His mom, in traction, just smiled knowingly ... and here we are, 31 years of marriage later. I adore my mother-in-law ... one great piece of advice regarding marriage is, watch how a man treats his mother ... if he's loving, respectful, helpful, patient ... he'll be a great husband and father. I knew he was The One because, no games, what you see is what you get, honest, decent, hard-working, and most of all, funny and fun to be with. I almost lost him when we were newlyweds, 4 days before Christmas he was a pedestrian hit by a car, 5 years recovering from all the broken bones, and watching him fight back made me realize just hwo lucky I was/am to be The One for him. I have a brother and a sister who are both divorced, so I know that people can make mistakes in love ... Emily,  it's less about romance and more about respect.

[Emily-aaronsgirl11]

3 TIMES!? Wow!!! 

This sort of sounds like a Nicholas Sparks book! Thanks for sharing!! :)

And thanks for all the advice. I'm pretty convinced that Aaron is going to make a wonderful husband and dad. I mean, after all, he has put up with me for almost three years now. I can be pretttty trying at times. :)

[elizabeth77(USS SAN FRANCISCO)]

Wow, foaling lady, my favorite story yet!  I agree it's less about romance but I'd like to add to what it is about.  Shared interests, dreams and a respect for the differences.

 I did not stay married to my children's father...or should I say we did not stay living together because we actually did stay married, just separated until he died.  We had many differences, especially different dreams. 

I'm a little worried about the comment most people make about how men treat their mothers because my son can be a little rude and dismissing but people always chaulk it up to his age.  They also say he is TOTALLY different when I am not around!
