People recall the exact moment they knew their other half was ‘the one’ in soppy internet thread

This is likely to elicit one of two reactions: the desire to vomit or an uncontrollable want to get equally soppy.

Reddit is the home of many an interesting conversation thread and relationships are BIG on this site.

There was the wedding photographer who shared the signs that a couple were in trouble, the wedding guests who thought the bride and groom were destined for doom and those who shared what lead to their marriages breaking down.

The latest subject to get traction on the popular sharing site is decidedly more positive though as people are discussing the moment they knew they had met ‘the one’.

You know THE ONE, the phrase that suggests this is it, you’re in it for the long haul and you don’t want anyone else but said person.

Cute but soppy and a word of warning, things get even more nauseatingly romantic from here on so if that’s not your bag, look away now.

This particular Reddit thread dates back a year but it’s one of those rare internet moments where you feel all warm and fluffy inside. Or you know, it might just p*ss you off.

Entitled “when did you realise your significant other was the one you would marry”?, here’s what people had to say:

One user wore:

“One day while mowing the grass he came into the house looking very distraught and tortured. This is very unusual for him because he’s pretty stoic and I think I’ve only seen him cry twice in 9 years. I asked what was wrong and he burst out with, “I accidentally ran over a frog that was trying to hop out the way of the lawnmower!!” He was honestly really upset at himself for it and then muttered something like, “Poor frog, just going about its day, completely unaware” and walk back outside all sad-like.

I don’t think it’s funny that the poor frog got ran over but I did have to try not to laugh in that instance for some reason. I knew then that I wanted to marry him”.

Another had this to say:

“Pooped my pants in front of him. When something like that happens, you pretty much have to marry them. Or kill them…”

This person had it bad:

“The first time I saw her, seriously. She was new to our office (Air Force) and as I was walking out of an office her sponsor was introducing her to everyone. I said “hi” and walked back to my desk. I IMMEDIATELY told my supervisor “I am going to marry her”. True story. About 2 years later we were married and are almost at our 27th anniversary”.

And another head over heels Reddit user, struck with the love bug:

“Our first date was a Neil Young concert, during ‘Heart of Gold’ he looked in my eyes and I felt something that I’ve never felt before, even to this day. We only dated for 4 months before getting married, but I’d do it all again the same way. It’s been hard, amazing, frustrating and painful but also worth every second just to be with him. We’ve been married for 6 years”.
