I was with a woman for 6 years who I always felt uneasy if I wanted to get married. Just very unsure. We ended up breaking up because I was unsure. Shortly after I met my current girlfriend who after 1 months I knew I wanted to marry. Kinda interesting knowing the difference so soon.

Both of these examples are extreme. If your goal is marriage, 6 years is way too long to waste on someone you don’t want to marry, but 1 month in you don’t know nearly enough about someone to actually know that you want to marry them. In general, I feel like you should “know” somewhere between the 8 month mark and the 2 year mark, especially once you’re past your early 20s. If it’s before 8 months, it’s too soon to really know, and if you’ve hit the two year mark and still aren’t sure you probably never will be.

The one month thing COULD be a red flag. Or, it could be the genuine thing. For context, I knew within a month of meeting him that I would marry my husband… we’ve been happily married for 10 years now. Sometimes, when you know, you know.

Did you guys live together?

One month is way too soon, you don't know the person. I'd give a pass if you were long term friends before you started dating.

Well it happens. When you know, you know. Just that you should've let the first goirl go sooner if you weren't sure she was the one you wanted to marry.

I’m so lonely I forgot what feeling wanted feels like. It’s almost as if I’m numb to the human need of feeling desired and I’ve accepted my fate of solitude.
