Have you ever felt like you “knew” you would eventually end up with a specific person and you actually do? What made you feel that way?

Yeah, there was a man who was homeless asking for money on the street asking for food money. I was in college and got uncomfortable, kinda awkwardly ignored him. My boyfriend at the time took out a business card from a nearby homeless shelter, gave the man instructions about how to get there, how to get a meal, then looked the man in the eye and shook his hand to wish him good luck. Treated him with complete, unhesitating dignity and respect. I thought, "this is the man I'm going to marry." We were together for 4 years and got engaged. He was a wonderful person and my best friend but he also had severe issues with self-loathing. I broke it off when he wouldn't stop drinking and it was becoming life-threatening. Last I heard from him, he moved back with his parents, just found a new job, and is going to therapy. I'm happy for him and he'll do great things, but not with me.
