Bored Panda reached out to Inbaal Honigman, a celebrity psychic, astrologer, and expert at Lovehoney.com, a sexual wellness brand, to find out more about compatibility in couples, as well as how to know exactly if you've found the one. “Natural compatibility is a good start when finding a mate. Someone who enjoys the same things, who finds the same jokes funny, a person who has a similar vibe, would be a compatible partner,” Inbaal told us.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ We had just started dating in college and were driving on the interstate when we saw two old ladies and an old man who had run out of gas on the side of the road. My now-husband drove to a gas station, filled up a container and got them back on the road. I didn’t realize until then that the quality I was looking for in a partner was kindness. We’ve been together 50 years.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ My cat was always terrified of everything, especially houseguests. The first time he visited, she fell asleep on him. She never did that with anyone else, even me.

We had been dating maybe 2 months. I was in a car accident and was so badly bruised I could barely move, he took care of me and was so gentle and attentive.

“However, 'meant to be' goes further beyond that,” she added. That means you may want to ask yourself a couple of questions: “Is the person happy to prioritize you and your well-being? Are they happy to contain and love the parts of you that even you struggle to love?”

Inbaal argues that a relationship isn't just about compatibility, “it isn't even about love, it's about working together for a joint cause, and when both people are happy to contribute to that cause, they're meant to be together.” However, “this is massively easier when they're also compatible.”

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ It was sort of a gradual progress until it absolutely wasn't.

I wasn't going to marry someone I couldn't see myself being psyched over having kids with.

Turns out I ended up pregnant unexpectedly because why not be the 1% or whatever of "you're sure you took the pill correctly but life finds a way".

I was initially kinda scared of how he'd react, in a way. I thought he'd be pissed off or angry or something, turns out telling him "hey yeah this is super unexpected but btw turns out you're going to be a dad" or whatever was like telling him he won the lottery.

That locked things down for me. I had weapons-grade abandonment issues at the time and it's hard to put into words exactly just what the positive reaction there did for me.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Back when I worked an extremely stressful job, I had what felt like no free time at all, and my car needed some things done. I felt so stressed about it, but didn't have the time to address it for a while. One day he offered to drive me to work, I don't remember what he said his reasoning was, but i happily agreed.
While I was at work, he changed my tail light, changed the wipers and detailed the car.
I was at a point in my life where multiple compounded stressors made me numb to emotion. I cried when he picked me up in my car, and I saw all the things he'd done. I knew that moment that he was my forever

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ I'm currently 23(F), and he's 25(M), and we are high-school sweethearts dating since 2014. One night, my mom was in the hospital, and since it was during peak covid, we weren't allowed in the hospital. He stayed in the parking lot with me until like 3am, which was when my step-dad was able to leave work to be with my mom. Prior to us leaving, I was talking to him about how I was severely sleep deprived. I had worked a night shift the day before and didn't get any sleep due to my mom's condition at the time, so i had gone about 24-30hrs without sleep. He was telling me to try to nap, but my body just wasn't having it. I was also hungry and dehydrated and beyond stressed, so it was a terrible time for me. The whole time, I was just telling him that I really felt like I was going to puke, but nothing was coming out of me. I'd like to add that I have a bad gag reflex and will puke if I hear or see it. Well, I ended up throwing up in the parking lot, all over his car door, the passenger seat, and myself. My body was dry heaving so bad that I even ended up urinating myself. I started shaking, and without hesistating, he got out the car to me, cleaned me up as best as he could, and immediately took me home. We dont live with each other yet, due to him getting out of the military and us merging our lives together still, but he made sure I showered and tucked me into bed before heading home. The way that he was so gentle and nurturing to me in a way I had never felt before made me fall in love with him all over again. Never made me feel bad, made sure to clean up the car, checked up on me the following day, and I mean sure we joke about it now, but in that moment, I knew he was my forever.

Many people romanticize the idea of finding their second half, but Inbaal warns to be careful with it. “The idea of a second half, a soulmate, a twin flame, is a fairly toxic notion for many reasons,” she said.

“Imagine losing your perfect partner to illness - a twin flame ideology means this was it, this was your person and now you'll stay alone for the rest of your life. Imagine that your soulmate doesn't come into your life until later in life, are you expected to sit alone and just wait for them to materialize?” Inbaal argues.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Lol 47 years ago I’d been goin out with my boyfriend for a few months and he just started one night talking about our lives when we got married. He’s the most unromantic person on this earth, but he’s also the kindest and generous I’ve ever met.

He worked hard for 45 years to care for his family. Now he’s retired he looks after me, does much of the housework etc. and yeah gets under my feet. But he still makes me laugh. Note, I think laughter is important in a marriage.

We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary last Oct. He’s a bit of a grumpy old git nowadays, but he’s my grumpy old git and I love him to bits.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ A month into the relationship I decided to surprise him at his house on a Friday evening after work. We had plans to meet up on Saturday but I couldn't wait. Keep in mind, we lived three hours apart. I was halfway to his city when my roommate called and said he had shown up at our house in an effort to surprise me too. I knew right then that he was something special. We got married a few years later and we often joke that we're the same person - one Christmas we got each other the same gift, we finish each other's puns, we'll stop at the store on the way home (separately) and pick up the same cookies.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Kind of silly, but I'm afraid of the dark and use a nightlight in my bedroom when I'm sleeping alone. When my SO and I first started dating, he'd stay over a few nights out of the week, but he needs it dark when he sleeps, so I unplugged the night light while he was over. One time he stayed over for like a week straight and then wasn't staying that night, so when I got into bed and turned off the light I had a moment of panic about the dark until I realized it wasn't dark. He had remembered to plug in my night light before leaving that day so I wouldn't be in the dark. That was my first "wow, he really cares" moment and he continues to show me to this day :)

According to the celebrity psychic, some people go from partner to partner, changing every few years as part of their journey, while some people are happiest with one spouse till death does its thing.

“Long-term romance is dependent on so many factors, some of them rooted in culture and privilege, and so isn't something that everyone in the world has access to. The romantic notion of perfection isn't everyone's best-case scenario either,” Inbaal explained.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ I met my current husband online in 2000 when he was 21 and I was 19. He was in the Navy and stationed close to where I lived in Southern California.

We had dated exclusively for about 8 months when I became very sick and was hospitalized so that doctors could run diagnostic tests to determine what was wrong with me. (It ended up being my gall bladder).

He took leave earlier than he had planned and instead of going home to see his family and friends, he stayed at the hospital with me for 2 weeks. The first night, there weren't enough chairs and no extra beds, so he took a sheet out of the cabinet in my room and slept on the floor because he knew I was scared to stay by myself.

We had to get permission from my hospital roommate for him to stay overnight for the rest of my stay. She was recovering from a double mastectomy and when I was off for testing, they spent a lot of time talking. She told me once, while he was out grabbing some lunch, that he was a keeper and that he loved me a lot.

We got married September 2, 2001, nine days before the world changed. We're still together. Things haven't always been perfect, there was even a time that I thought we might divorce, but we always came back together.

My mom still sometimes mentions him staying in the hospital with me and tells people that that's when she fell in love with him.

He called me when I was finished and told me to walk to a place 5 minutes away. I was due to get the train home so I was confused. I went anyway out of curiosity. I called him back and said what am I meant to be looking for? He told me to turn around and he was stood behind me.

I had been having such a terrible week so unbeknown to me he had spoken to his boss and taken the afternoon off work. He drove three hours out of his way just to come and give me a hug. We had dinner together and then he had to drive home. I was so overwhelmed by how thoughtful it was I cried. I knew from that day that I wanted to marry him. We got engaged in November and I consider myself very lucky.

Inbaal argues that staying in a relationship that's run its course because of a belief in the soulmates theory is not beneficial.

“Life is long and fluid, and so is love. Compatibility works for each specific moment, but even in astrology, we each mature into our sign, and so we change as people throughout our lives. A youthful Pisces is much unlike a mature Pisces, they are different,” Inbaal concluded.

I don't have to be someone I'm not and that I truly know that this man cares about me. Loyalty is a huge thing for him and he's shown me time and time again that I don't ever have to worry or wonder where I stand. I'm thankful to have found someone like him.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Our relationship started out with so much drama. Regardless of whether or not it was their business, no one wanted us to be together. We were both single parents and everybody thought that they knew better than we did. All kinds of fires were started and I am a very sensitive/emotional person. He, on the other hand, lets his logic lead, which is a good balance for us (sometimes).

After a particularly rough night, he could tell that I was overstimulated and panicking. He walked over to me, tilted my chin up so that my eyes met his and said “Listen to me. F**k everything that everyone else says. I don’t care about that. I’m not going ANYWHERE”. For the first time, I fully trusted someone’s word. It has been almost exactly ten years since that day. We’ve been married since 2015.

While he was out of town a couple family members were having health issues, and I was really struggling. On a call I told him how much I missed him and that I wished he was here because I could just use his support and presence.

5 minutes after hanging up the phone he calls me again and said he had booked the next flight home. Called his boss and said he had been away a lot and he needed to be home with me right now. I would have never asked him to do that, but it showed me how completely he loves me and will do what is within his power to be there.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ It wasn't a single moment, but just this overwhelming lack of tension and anxiety he brings. I’m a happy person naturally and I’ve had plenty of good relationships in the past, I’ve loved, I’ve been loved, but this man is just… everything with him feels new and so incredibly easy. Since we met, it’s like someone turned life on easy mode. He’s had issues come up with work and his family, I’ve had issues come up with work, life and my family, but it doesn’t touch our relationship, which is so solid and so reassuring and so secure - that it literally feels like nothing can touch me.

It’s not a single moment, it’s the endless ways in which this amazing person shows up for me and other people in his life, without asking for anything in return. It’s the looking back at our time together and realising there isn’t a single moment we spent together that wasn’t made better by him being there.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Maybe my comment won't have as much weight as others because I'm young and I've been with him for two years so far but I do believe we'll spend our lives together so here it goes.

I've told this story many times before, but I enjoy being reminded of it by such posts.

We'd been together for less than six months when it happened. Somehow we've always known, but for me that moment was when I felt like I know for sure.

My mother has a rare genetic disease and it's turned out that both my sister and I have the same genetic defect. This happened before we found out, but it's relevant to the story.

It was a very hot summer day, and we had an appointment at the cardiologist's since my mother's heart is affected by her illness and wanted to get ours checked too. My partner tagged along.

We had a holter recorder attached to our chests for 24 hours, which I was pissed about because I knew that it couldn't touch water and I wanted nothing more than taking a shower and washing my hair that day which I would have been unable to do alone.

I was very frustrated, I cried, I told him that if it turns out that I do have it, I'll end it all before the disease could take me out. I didn't really mean it though, which he knew. I behaved really bad, and it was clear that he was frustrated by it but never said a bad word, never raised his voice, nor ignored me.

Later in the apartment he helped me shower. I didn't ask him, he didn't even say he's coming to help. He just followed me and helped, held the shower head, made sure that the device stays dry. He helped me wash my hair too, and then dried me with a towel. I was so touched that I couldn't stop crying and thanking him.

All he replied was "cause the lady wanted to wash her hair, huh?" with a smile in a mocking yet loving way.

I'll never forget that

Well, indeed he wasn't particularly "heroic", by helping you shower. But he was with you in a difficult problem, and supported you, and gave you energies and consolation. We must try to be little heroes in our day-to-day, that's what will make real heroes from us.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ They pop up all the time really, even to this day. I don't remember the first one exactly but the most recent was last night.

I heard him in his office, having issues with his computer, cursing under his breath and getting aggravated. He's never ever been the type to take his moods out on me, but in past relationships my ex's did it all the time so Im programmed to just immediately get anxious by it, thinking I'd be walking on eggshells all night now.

After a few minutes he stopped fiddling with his computer and left his office to come to mine, and I prepped myself for the incoming attitude. But all he did was smile and say "when we go out this weekend can we stop by microcenter?" Then he laughed and said, "my monitor keeps going black and I died in my game cause of it!" I laughed too, we shared the aggravation he felt and went to go lay down together. No fights, no misplaced anger, no random attitude thrown my way from misplaced frustrated, just love and support.

It might sound like the bar is on the floor, but I've had so many ex's in the past who just loved to take their problems out on the world around them, and I love that my current never does. He's incredibly emotionally intelligent and caring and he really has become my safe space, a person I can depend on and relax around. We never fight, he's always my number one cheerleader, and he's 100% the person I want to be with forever.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ We married 11 years (together 13 years), so there too many things my husband does for me that confirmed he is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

But here one thing.

I had a near death experience where I was bedridden for almost a month with oxygen tank in my nose 24/7. The bedridden me defecate on myself and he cleans me up that whole month. He also sleep with a pillow and a blanket on the carpet right by my bedside (we had a hospital bed in our bedroom due to my illness).

The doctors offered him in home help, he refused, he said he wants to be the one care for me. So he rather be the one that clean me for the whole month when I was bedridden. Trust me, adults poop is nothing like babies.

There more, but this seal the deal. Anybody can have fun time together, but how about when you bedridden and defecate on yourself? He makes six-figures and debt-free, enough to hire helper, but he refused, he rather be the one that clean me and sleep on the carpet right next to my bedside care for me.

35 Wholesome Moments That Proved To These Women That Their Partner Was ‘The One’ Not married yet but mine was more of several small moments. He always knows if I'm not okay, even if I pretend to be, he always asks and offers hugs and physical comfort. He often doesn't say much but his gestures are so kind. He puts in the effort. Every time I communicate with him how I would like to be loved or things that trigger me due to past trauma, I notice how he puts in the effort to accommodate what I need each time. He makes want to be a better person. He deserves my best efforts too and that has helped me overcome so much.
He accepts me as I am along with all of my anxiety and insecurities with such patience and grace and I love him so much. Writing this out makes me want to marry him right now.

There is something about courthouse weddings that's so appealing. No high costs of course but you know, no manicured backgrounds, no focus on guess or the cake or the location or the decorations...focus only on the two people.

We were planning to start a family when I was diagnosed with a condition that means that pregnancies could be dangerous for me. Potentially fatale.

Same condition means that adoption is out of the question.

He stayed with me.

It's awesome that he stayed, but what condition eliminates the possibility of adoption?

To borrow a phrase from another comment, 'it was a gradual process until it wasn't'.

There had been other moments in our relationship that made me feel like I could spend a long time with my guy, but I never let myself get hopeful enough that it would be life. About 2.5-3 years in, and we had recently moved in together, we'd talked wedding and marriage, but I always freaked out, not being ready or worried about whatever else.

Then, one day, we were sitting across the room from each other, each on our own computers with headphones, and it hit me suddenly. He's my forever. It was the first time I thought about marriage and our life together without panicking, and I couldn't stop smiling.

He proposed less than a year later, but apparently had known in months of us getting together that I was his forever.

That feeling has to be a good feeling even if in the end it doesn't work out. I'm glad that it worked out.

I got sick and he knew nothing about how to handle it, neither did I. But he learned and not only learned but taught my family and friends how to help. He would meet with them
Without telling me so that they could help me smoothly. He always dealt with everything with such love and compassion

When he traveled an hour and a half one way to pick me up, an hour a half back to his place for me to spend a few days. Then do it all over again to take me home. Every other week for over a year. 🖤

In early March 2020 I met someone. We were both in our late 30s. We both went through tough break ups and were not expecting more from each other than “physical” company. Then the pandemic lockdown took effect in our area and we found ourselves spending more and more time together navigating a seemingly unpredictable, scary world. He proposed to me on my favorite beach in Hawaii in March 2022, and we are getting married on March 18th… just a few more weeks to go!

Unscientific study, but I've notice that when I read positive posts like this, I'm happier, think of people more positively, and maybe even treat people better. The more common BP posts about people being terrible people are far more addictive, but I'm afraid they put me in a more judgmental and self-centered mood.

We were dating and my mother got sick. Helped move her stuff to hospice with me. He asked me for some privacy while he spoke to my mom. He told her not to worry, that he promises to take care of me and that everyday he will try to make me happy. My mother passed away a week later. He sat in the hospice room with my uncle, aunt and I for 3 hours with the body. We were waiting on my brother to get in from out of town, before we called the funeral home. During the funeral, his parents and he cooked all the food for the reception, my best friends and they served the food. He was my rock in my darkest moment. We have been married for 10 amazing years and he has given me two amazing children. He‘s the first person my dad （ my parents were divorced）calls if he needs help and he always rushes over. He is my best friend and makes me happy everyday, he also makes the best margaritas.

Before we were married: he sent me a huge carebox when I was very sick including a can of soup, box of teas, throat lozenges, medicine, just everything. After we were married: always comes with me to visit my grandmother in her nursing home, knowing how it breaks my heart to go see her in that awful place. He's a good man and he still proves it to me even after years of marriage.

3 relationships where he said he needed distance to sort himself out and I was picked up and put down to suit. My current partner said the same and I said to not come back, I’d learned my lesson. He stayed and worked through issues. Neither of us is perfect, he can drive me bats. But he listened and respected my stand and stayed. As someone who has deep rooted abandonment issues, that tells me more than anything else ever has.

My fiancée, and I met in 2002, I was 15, and he was 23 (Yes I know this was illegal, but to be fair I lied to him when I met himz I told him I was 18 (we met online). I had been through so much trauma, that I was way more mature than any 15 year old gas the right to be. This man is my rock. He has stayed by me through so much c**p that I put him through over the years, I broke his heart in to a million pieces more than once. I have been in multiple other (abusive), 5 kids, me lying to him, alcoholism, and many many other things (I know this doesn't make me sound like a great person, but I have horrible abandonment issues, I don't know how to be alone, and have a laundry list of MH issues). He is the only person in the world who has NEVER given up on me, seeing something in me that I never saw in myself, he was ALWAYS in my corner no matter what happened. We could go without talking for months at a time, and I could call him out of nowhere and it would be like nothing changed, he would help me how ever he could if help is what I needed without a second thought, he refused to change his number for this exact reason. For 15 years without, even being in the same room breathing the same air as me, he was the only person I could depend on. I don't know where I would be had I have not had support from at least one person in my life. This man waited for me for 15 years to get my s**t straight, finally start believing in myself, and seeing that a quiet comfort was 100x more attractive than a lusty burning fire of beginning a relationship wiyh a person that was just going to take another piece of my identity or soul away from me. He was a virgin when I met him, having only even been in one other 2 week relationship along the way. When I actually met him face to face, no one else in the wotld 3xisted for me because this man is truly the other half of my soul, my best friend, and what keeps me and my issues together most days. Now that we have been together for 5 years I always think hos stupid I was to not have just waited the 6 months to be with him. (I emancipated myself at 16) I wonder who I would have become, with him by my side, about how much trauma I could have avoided, and what life we could have had, I regret everyday that I should have spent with him. It scares the ever-loving- s**t out of me because I know now what safety, happiness, and being loved truly feels like, and I know that if I ever lost him, I don't think I would love long after he left me.

Does anyone read the weird little articles between the actual content? I feel like they’re unnecessary and bizarre. Like, tangentially related, but mostly weird ramblings that don’t contribute much if anything to the post. Maybe the formatting is just weird, because I’m on a smart phone?

Met a guy online. After a few dates, asked him to come over for dinner. I don't even recall what I fixed but I do remember the new pepper grinder opening up and dumping peppercorns on the table, me, and the floor. We finished eating and as I was rinsing plates, I turned around and my date was on his hands and knees picking up the pepper. I tried to stop him but he insisted on getting a broom and cleaning up the rest as well as the tablecloth. Right then I knew. We've been together over 12 years now.
