5 Signs That Showed I Was Going To Marry My Neighbor Then The Unthinkable Happened

Tears rolled down my face. If happiness had an aroma, it would be warm apple pie. Then the aroma of awareness surrounded me followed by an anger boiling at 400 degrees within me. The reality set in that my significant other and I were no longer together solidifying the fact that we were done.

Just months prior I had a different emotion that of joy. After all we talked about how we will spend our years ahead. We met each other ‘s family. Upon meeting, one of my family members even received a new nickname from who I thought was my future husband. We were hugging “the one” sign with arms holding tight. Like other couples were thought we were set and destined to be together forever. There was no mystery or at least I thought. You know the mystery of not knowing whether or not the person is your forever. Then it all changed.

We fit the mold of being bound together until death. I heard things from publications like Artless that feature ways to know they are the one and suggestions from other people that offer advice for when you know you met your divine one. These suggestions include if this person does this or says this then they are the one; they are serious; the relationship is moving in the direction of marriage.

With my former significant other it seemed as though we were moving towards marriage. Once he even introduced me as his future wife. Now a year prior to that he was my neighbor and we officially met at Dollar Tree. Months later we started dating and talking about getting married. Oh we had all the signs. Despite these good signs, it turned out to not work out and we parted ways. The signs below is what were displayed in our relationship.

1. We talked about being together forever and danced for the future.

We discussed future marriage anniversaries and buying a house together.

Another thing that appeared as though we were destined for marriage was how my ex identified me in public. At a church he formerly attended and we were visiting he introduced me as his future wife to the pastor.

In addition, we talked about moving out of state about two years into our marriage. As part of my gift during our first year anniversary, he gave me a card and on the envelope he wrote “Future Wife.” Within the inside of the card he anticipated having many more anniversaries.

2. He initiated the marriage discussion.

Now in retrospect when my ex initially talked about marriage I thought it was a sincere invitation for open discussion on plans on how we would live our lives as husband and wife. My ex even brought up marriage again, after we had been together for a year.

3. We participated in a premarital analysis session.

We were off to a strong start. So solid as a matter of fact four days into our relationship we met with our church pastor for premarital sessions, which incorporated questions based on topics ranging from budgeting to running a household.

4. We spent time with each other’s family.

Now as far as meeting family it was another sign in the right direction to marriage. When he met my grandma , she loved him and talked about how outgoing he was. The first time they met he jokingly gave her a nickname after hearing a neighbor of hers call her a name that was not hers. After we met at my grandma’s home once we established introductions, we all went to a restaurant for dinner and enjoyed our time there.

I met his children who he had with his ex wife. His children were nice and his daughter was excited that we were together.

5. We discussed a date to become husband and wife.

One year later we talked about going to the courthouse to get married. Yep we had a November date set and where he would purchase the rings. Subsequently in mid- November was when a honeymoon would take place.

So all five of these signs took place but we were not on the same page and his actions made me to believe that we were on the same page.

The unthinkable happened in which a year had passed and three weeks after our one year anniversary we parted ways.
