Love At First Sight?

^^^his name's Brian from hattersley. I escaped a similar incident last year, though lost my life savings paying for "the wedding"...
Good luck.
 
As I said at my eldest daughter's wedding: "marriage is a sentence, not a word", and "marriage is an institution, but who wants to live in an institution?"

She took my advice, and they split up 5 years later!

Good on you, IBH, I'd still be married now having celebrated 40 years had my wife not died 5 years ago. We met and got married in 15 months, so it does work.
 
Let me tell you about myself...I'm 42 and never been in love including the mother of my children whom I got pregnant two weeks into our relationship

I always thought love was a myth...the love you can have between adults anyway...I love my children unconditionally

I've been single for around 22 months now (Since I split from my boys mum) and have been playing the field somewhat...but 9 days ago I met a woman that has completely blown me away

She is beautiful...on the inside and out and the minute I met her I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her...for a man that has never experienced love it's knocked me for six

I've deleted my 'black book' and cannot stop thinking about her

The mad thing is...she feels the same about me

Never EVER thought i'd fall in love...never mind at first sight

It's a fucking amazing feeling

Anyone experienced anything similar?

I promise you now I'm marrying this woman in the future and i've never even been engaged in my life

Sorry for the soppy thread...just need to tell anyone...Want to shout it from the rooftops if i'm honest

Just read this mate. Congratulations. Enjoy it, because the natural buzz of meeting someone who your limbic brain responds to in that way, and who feels the same, is probably the most magical of human experiences. It changes, but not necessarily for the worst. What you are feeling is a part of human evolution: your (and her) brain's way of mating you with the right person. When you are together your brain releases endorphins and other pleasure chemicals, not unlike a cocaine high.

After a few months of dating the "euphoria", the inability to sleep, the idolisation, the poetry, the way music suddenly means something, starts to wear off as you see their true personality. But this is the true test. At that point if you are right for each other then a deep bond starts to build in you and THAT is the foundation for marriage, not the "limerence" (look it up) that you feel in the first few months.

My only advice is not to rush these early, infatuation, birth-of-love months because they are truly magical, up there with the birth of your first child and winning the title in the last minute.
 
The horrible bastard that ended up waking up in my house on Sunday morning was probably in love once too, and she says her husband is still wholly in love with her now. She finds it boring, so she told me. The really horrible thing is, in the daylight when taking her back to her friends house where the poor bugger thought she was staying, it turns out they have recently bought a house about 200 yards away from my house. In the dead of night he could probably have heard her from my place. Her mates husband dropped them off in a small town nearby for an evening out for the rugby and then he was away to work for a few days. As soon as he pulled off through the traffic lights they both bolted across the street and jumped on a train to the city centre to go out on the tiles. 5 hours later she's getting Wally One Balled in my house. True love indeed.

Yesterday afternoon I go fir a pint for the Ireland game. A lady I know is up there with her best mate having a drink. She has been occasionally on the books for a couple of years. She finishes work at midday and should be here for 'coffee' by 1pm. Shes been married for 18yrs and will be home to make his tea after an afternoon astride me.

Went to Benidorm a few weeks ago and was on a roll for the first weekend. Met and became intimate friends with 3 lovely ladies from various parts of England who were certainly not shy. All married.

I have a friend who lives between my house and the local pub and while not married she has been living with her bloke for nearly 10 years. He works nights on weekends driving a taxi. We regularly end up in eachothers houses on weekends. No encouragement from me by the way, apparently he is quite a nice bloke.

Now Im no cynic, maybe a realist. Im absolutely sure that these people fell in love and got married with the best intentions, but I am convinced that I am walking talking proof that it is just an idealistic notion in the minds of romantics or persons who become blinded by it because they are predisposed to think that birds tweet then they are with someone they like. I often read threads on here and chat with people I know who are in the doldrums and despairing because their true love has gone and they cant see a way past the shit they find themselves in. If they had the starting point of the healthy dose of realism that I live by, they would not end up like that. Good luck to posters on here that are in love, sincerely, but keep your feet on the ground and your heads screwed firmly on.

Sheer bloody poetry!
 
Suppose I'll post a pic up now

This is the love of my life
