honestly the 'certainty' thing is mostly retrospective narrative imo, in the moment it was way more 'this feels good and i want to keep choosing this' than lightning bolt certainty

for me it was less a feeling and more noticing how we handled conflict, the first real disagreement taught me more than 2 years of good times did

married my wife 6 years ago and i still dont think i ever had 'the certainty feeling', just consistently chose her and it worked out great

2 years is genuinely still early for some of this, big life stuff (money stress, family issues, moving) tends to reveal more than good times do

honestly i think wanting the same future (kids or not, where to live, values) matters more long term than any specific 'feeling'

my therapist once said 'the one' is a myth that causes more anxiety than clarity, the healthier frame is 'a great partner i choose daily'
