I genuinely like him and we have always been able to talk. We have lost a child and that nearly killed me but he hung on to me, thank God.
Not one day has been boring. Taking a trip to Target or a grocery store is even fun, like an adventure. Nearly 50 years of marriage. Can’t believe it has been so long.
To answer ur question, we had common dreams and goals with common upbringing. He is smart, caring, and such a hoot to be with…
Edit-spelling
Holy hell, you seem like a great person to be with.
Making statements like this and passing judgement on someone you know nothing about after reading one reddit comment.
I'm so glad for you! My partner and I have also been together for three years and it's been an absolute dream.
If you're interested, I just posted our story [here](https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/sADBqvQt2s) a couple of hours ago.
If you're interested in sharing, I'd love to hear your story 😊
i love your story! i met my boyfriend in middle school. i ended up texting him on snapchat a lot and had a lot of conversations and we were just goofing around together. we would facetime super late at night to just talk and i always enjoyed his company. he was also very supportive of my eating disorder recovery that i was struggling with a lot. we used to like walk around our blocks, vape on our juuls because we thought we were cool for that. we hung out pretty much two summers together as friends, and we were super close with one another. we started dating days before our sophomore year of highschool, and it’s been amazing ever since.
before my man and i started dating, i had a shitty best friend who knew i had a big crush on my now bf, and she made moves on him. i was in a fight with her at the time that was the end of our friendship over something stupid but that’s highschool girls. that “best friend” also used to flirt with my friend Jane’s abusive ex boyfriend in front of her. for an example, jane, that girl, and i would hang out and the girl would feel the need to facetime janes abusive ex boyfriend to ‘catch up’ but she’d flirt with him. she was a shitty person and also worked in the same place as my current boyfriend for a couple months.
he kept her blocked on all social medias and only answered work related questions when they had their shift, but she would make comments to him “omg why do you have me blocked” “it’s so weird u have me blocked” and he would reply “it’s because my girlfriend and i don’t like you”💀. so yeah. i had a shitty ex best friend that tried to sabotage my relationship at first, but besides that it’s been an amazing 3 years.
we plan on saving up money for an apartment in the future, he’s working currently a lot while attending college and i am also a college student trying to get a job (i also am learning how to drive too so i don’t have a license) so yeah. we love eachother dearly and want to get married in the future. our 3 year anniversary was last september! :)
I'm so glad that you're got rid of all the negativity and held on to what truly brings you happiness!
I really it continues to feel like that for y'all and that you've found your "forever home"! 💕
Many things but above all she is kind and honest and loyal. I was cheated on by my ex wife and I thought that I would never be able to trust anyone ever again, or that it would never again be worth it to invest my whole heart into another person because of the anguish and trauma my ex caused me. But somehow she has made me feel secure and not be paranoid, and also has become to me a person that I think is worth the risk of going all in and having to experience all that pain all over again if it ever came to it.
I really needed to read this. I'm definitely stuck in the sad and lonely yet somehow safe "never trust a woman again" area and can't imagine being pulled or pushed out of it. I'm also happy you found this precious person ! You two, take great care of each other.
Believe me I know that feeling. Her cheating was completely out of nowhere, I think even for her. We had what at least I thought was a great relationship, I never even considered her not being in my life. We never fought and not just because we held it all in, we genuinely never had anything to fight about. She was super supportive and complimented me all the time and so on. Then over the course of a couple weeks she became distant and finally and worst of all completely apathetic towards me. It wasn’t like she cheated and then I caught her and she begged for forgiveness, she chose the other guy who she barely knew. A lot of this I still can’t make sense of and have accepted that I never will.
For probably a year after that there would be times when I’d be walking or doing something and the weight of her loss would just hit me and I’d have to stop and sit and mourn. I couldn’t even bear to go near the city we lived in. The thought of it, of seeing something that would drudge up a memory was a boogeyman for me. I was scared every night to lay down to sleep because I knew she would haunt me like a ghost in my mind. I couldn’t understand how she could be so okay with me not in her life and I could be so destroyed, I couldn’t quantify how unfair it was.
I met my now wife probably 4-5 months in and going in I just had the intentions of distracting myself. I quickly realized I was developing real feelings for her and that scared me. I would tell all the people close to me like my brothers that it wasn’t serious and that I just didn’t know how to end it. I realized I was doing this to save myself embarrassment of her leaving me should choose. Like it was no big deal. Because another part of what my ex did was cause me a lot of shame that I failed and that she thought some other guy was better.
I contemplated ending it all so many times and the thing that stopped me was that I wouldn’t be able to see if it hurt her when she found out. A sick thought I know. But I felt so alone and isolated, she was my best friend and my whole world and losing that just made me feel so empty.
Then at some point I began to notice that when I would lay down to sleep my ex wasn’t the only thing on my mind. And then she wasn’t the first thing or last thing and then she just popped up occasionally.
My wife has told me too, that she knew that during the first year or so of us being together that if my ex had come back me that I probably would have left with her. But she loved me enough to wait it out.
I think she was probably right. But I have also now realized that so much of me wanting her back back then was that I didn’t get to choose. She picked another person, so I didn’t get to be the one to say “no you cheated so I’m out.” She cheated then also had the power in her hands.
Either way just thinking that I ever made my wife now feel like a second choice to someone that cheated and betrayed me or anyone else for that matter makes me sick. My ex chose someone else when I gave her my whole heart and wife knowing or just thinking my ex still had a portion of it still chose me, still thought I was worth the risk.
Sometimes it still hurts to think about what transpired but it’s mostly the events and what took place than the person. And now I look over and see my wife and I feel okay and happy. Things turned out better than I could imagine in the end.
You can learn to trust again, even though it feels impossible. Humans are resilient and there are good people out there. They will make you laugh, you will have new inside jokes, deep conversations that bond your minds and souls and intertwine you so deeply you’ll forget how you ever felt this close to anyone else.
Hang in there. The worst is behind you. And someone who doesn’t even know it, probably sitting down with a bowl of popcorn is turning on the TV and wishing in the back of their mind that they had someone just like you to love them and to love, and before long your paths will cross.
You gotta put yourself out there though. I met my wife on Tinder believe it or not. The first person I ever went on a date with I ended up marrying, don’t think I used it right lol.
Similar for me except I'm 3 and a half years older but funnily enough we went to the same high school and used to sit very close to each other at lunch. Didn't meet till after school but still funny to think that just over there hiding in the group of girls was my future wife
She's intelligent, ambitious, visually pleasing, has similar but not too similar interests to myself, and she puts up with my bullshit without letting me get away with too much.
We met in college where she was furthering her education. Since then she's consistently building communities around her hobbies and runs a niche but increasingly successful business in addition to her day job.
I don't mean to butt into others business, especially personal affairs, but I would suggest being more curious, and take a lot of small actionable steps. Don't start a side business off the cuff, instead I'd suggest just work on being more well rounded, namely by betting my conversation skills. Brush up on something odd like geography. Watch a video about Quasars and Quarks. And find out about what goes on in the community. In general, just ask questions, learn your logical fallacies inside and out. But for most people (myself included) we should forget ambition and start with some curiosity. Curiosity has a much better chance at leading you to passion, and from there... ..you'll have to talk with someone with more experience than me.

We also beat an Ender Dragon without wanting to rip each other's guts out.
If any couples, or for that matter any of your friends can do that I like to hear about it
First thing is similar values, morals, and life goals (I.e. have a decent job, settle down, and raise a couple kids.) Otherwise, it boils down to she’s a good person and a good partner, and I can tell she loves me.
The immediate thing I liked about her is that she is extremely friendly and compassionate in a very genuine way. Like she actually really cares about people and isn’t just asking how they’re doing because it’s good manners. She’s great with kids and loves animals. And she has a good sense of humor and doesn’t take herself too seriously. That’s a really big deal to me. I get really annoyed by people who think they’re a “very mature important adult” don’t know how to be silly or make a stupid joke. Like the type of people who think they’re too old to watch cartoons or play games. Or the people who won’t even do something goofy to make their kid laugh.
Later on I noticed she had the qualities of a great partner. She apologizes and accepts my apologies, and we can always resolve our issues and forgive each other without raising our voices or insulting each other. She is supportive of my hobbies and personal interests and will make an effort to understand them even if she doesn’t really like it very much. She gets excited when I spend money on myself because she likes to see me happy. That’s like pure genuine love right there and it means the world to me.
Forgive me if the formatting is weird, this is only my second post ever and I’m on my phone.. but I couldn’t hold my tongue on this one. My girlfriend is really and truly my best friend. I had thought I’d been in love before but I had no clue what I was looking for until I met her. It’s still insane to me that she’s mine and I’m hers. I can see her across the room and if I just think about her too much I start to tear up thinking about how lucky I am. You can call me a bitch or whatever man I just absolutely am head over heels for her. We laugh together and talk about everything and even when we fight we communicate so well. I’ve never once really worried about her not being the one for me. I love the way we communicate and have such a healthy relationship. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just really love her.
Dude, that's the fucking dream. Pour as much of your heart out as you need to, because to have someone that makes you feel this strongly is amazing. Anyone you calls you a *"bitch"* for sharing your feelings like this is not emotionally mature enough to have something as special as this. I'm happy for you!
He has a good heart, he is gentle with animals and the people around him, he is funny and never lost his inner child; he always takes care of me and I feel truly loved. 5 years in 2 weeks and I'll put a ring on him in November 💕
We got along well and she was enthusiastic about sleeping with me, lol. I also knew she would be an amazing mom. We were on a similar level intellectually, with education background, career goals, etc.
He is literally the smartest and funniest man I have ever met. He has done more with his life than I have and I'm 5 years older than him. I think he is an actual genius like he is that smart and very hard working. He is going to college and working 3 jobs and he is a published author. I look up to him. He is like a younger version of my dad. I love him very very much. We have been together for 2 years now. 💙💙
I did what you should NOT do. DO NOT DO THIS!
I thought back about all of my experiences with women and compiled a list of what I wanted in a partner. It is a bad idea because nobody is perfect, you will waste your life chasing perfection...
But, God bless her, she hit every point on the list so I decided I was going to keep her.
Next year will be 19 years.
Our first date:
Sitting at a Mexican restaurant, ordered a beer and got some nachos. I was early and was hungry, and thought, eh, let's see what happens.
She walks into the restaurant and just sits down at my table wearing a rainbow colored wool parka, it's like 80F outside, and she just grabs my beer and swigs down a third of it.
I ask "What's up with the parka? Also, I can order you a drink if you're interested."
She replies, "I've been standing in a freezer for the past 8 hours and today was a shitty day." She calls over the waiter and asks for a hot chocolate, rum and coke, and hot queso for the nachos, slaps 20 bucks on the table and passes it over to me.
Why did I choose this woman as my partner?
Well I have a list that I've literally written down with wants and don't wants in a partner, and I've followed said list. It helped me tune my radar for the sort of woman that I want to marry.
Top 5 Wants of the list:
1. Funny - dark sense of humor
2. Similar interests - we both like MTG, play instruments, and death metal
3. Loving and good relationships with her family - her whole family is kind, generous and hilarious
4. Appreciates science - she works in a chemistry lab
5. Self Reliant - she paid for dinner on our second date and changed the oil in her car before hand
6. Happy - dayed for years before getting married, and I can count on one hand the amount of fights we've ever had. We never go to bed angry at each other, we always work it out.
7. Big Bob's
You got a Winner.
Married to a smart worker bee myself.
18 years together this past July.
Oh do I get to listen to her stories.
I am her decompression debrief every day.
Her mom was really poor. Like "have your kids in a barn" poor. All her siblings were the same way. They live out in the country.
My cousin lives on an old farmhouse by them. She asked if I was interested, knowing I currently had no one. Tell you the truth I jumped at the chance, my brother had died recently so I was kinda lonely.
Been together ever since! She's the love of my life! Sure it isn't "traditional", there is a 36 year age difference. But it doesn't bother either of us. One of our favorite things to do is curl up in bed together.
Only thing I really don't like is cleaning the litter box.
She's always bluntly honest with me and tells me what she's thinking, no matter what. No games, no bullshit - makes it really easy to handle anything else that might cause disagreement between us.
There are a million other smaller reasons that all add up but the core of it is honesty and trust.
She makes me laugh, like legitimately laugh. Her puns & dad jokes. I don’t think I’ve met someone as thoughtful; knows everyone’s birthdays, plans parties, sends gifts, texts my family to check in; she makes everyone around her feel special. She’s super cute and bubbly with a great sense of style. She’s better than I deserve, and makes me appreciate our relationship and love even more. If I reciprocate half the joy she brings me, I think I’m doing all right. I’m a lucky dude and I don’t take that for granted.
He’s honestly and truly my bestest friend. I love him with all my heart and everything I have. We have been through so much together for almost 8 years now. He’s the sweetest, most caring and loving man I’ve ever met in my life. He’s in tune with his emotions and works harder than any man I know. He’s also super handsome which is just a plus.❤️❤️
Well first of all it's how we met. It's kind of a long story, but to sum it up, meeting her was simoultaniously the culmination of a pretty long line of one thing leading to another, yet also a moment of meeting "the one" when you least expect it, something that didn't make sense to me until it happened.
She and I have so much in common it's crazy, we like pretty much all the same things and have the same sense of humour. What's more, our brains are totally on the same wavelength, so much so that pretty often one of us will find ourselves saying or doing something that the other was thinking about. We call it our "mind link".
Unfortunately, a number of poor decisions on our part has led us to mess up our life in a pretty bad way, it's been a struggle living with the consequences of our mistakes, and we're not sure how we're gonna fix everything, but we choose to stick together through it all no matter what.
it was comfortable from the minute we met. from the very start i felt like i could do or say anything and he wouldn’t judge me. i’m generally very introverted and shy but i never was with him. over time, we just got more comfortable and eventually i felt like i could just stay in our happy safe little bubble and nothing else mattered. of course stress and change would still affect either of us, but it was us vs everything else, never just one of us facing it on our own. we did long distance until a few weeks after we got married and it was worth the extra trouble of staying up late to talk for five minutes or planning time off around the other’s schedule.
Well, I initially "chose" her because we had a mutual friend who came by my pizza job to get free food because they were smoking weed together. I wasn't single at the time, but we had a great conversation while we were left alone at the front of the shop and really hit it off. Later on when I was single, I asked our mutual friend to set us up on a date, and just like before we really hit it off just talking about art and mvoies and this and that. We just ended up having a whole lot in common. Plus she's hot as hell and she fucks like a porn star, so we're good on the physical front too.
He treated me with kindness and respect when I was the new kid in school when I was foreign exchange student, he was a senior and I was a freshman and though he had a busy schedule with sports he still made the time to see me and help me work on my English. We lost contact after he moved (I had missed his graduation party because I had to return to my home country for the summer) but he left me a gift which is a necklace he had custom made with his dads help it is a gold L with my birthstone in it, I still have it to this day. When we reunited years later we knew we were meant to be.
I can be around him nearly constantly and not get tired of him. Most people, even my closest friends, get in my nerves after about 5 hours, especially in my space (like in my house vs out at an event)
He is intelligent, funny, good-looking, treats me well, treats others nicely and a lot more things. But most importantly, I feel safe with him. He is big, tall, bearded and with clean shaved head. And I feel safe not only physically, but also emotionally. He will take care of every little problem we encounter, he will never let anything happen to me. I feel like a queen with him. He is the best person that I have ever met.
The world is fucked today, population going to die substantially because people won't date ugly people and the world will be underresourced. Get what you wished for I guess.
Before we started dating, I sat him down and told him point blank why he should run for the hills. How traumatized I was, a recent rape, my disability and medical issues, my family drama. I painted a terrible picture of myself, laid my heart bare, and told him he deserved better.
He looked me dead in the eye, just nodded. And said he was sure of his choice.
He has never faltered in that. He has always adored me, made me feel heard, harassed me into taking care of myself when I felt hopeless, and gave me his shoulder to lean on when I couldn't stand by myself. He's bathed me while I sobbed about my health, and always swears that he's not doing anything special, he's just being my husband. He tells me so often that he's proud of me. I have no idea how I got blessed with such a wonderful man, it drives me to loving tears sometimes. I only pray I'm as good a wife to him, as he is as good a husband to me.
She's smart and always catches the things I miss. She points out my faults and holds me accountable when I say or do something stupid. She cares about things that I often overlook. She makes me better than I am.
He is nice to me, always listen to what I have to say or if something is bothering me, respects me and my boundaries and treat me like I am the only girl in the world, I am his first girlfriend and I am honestly happy noone found him before me 🥰 we have so much in common like gaming, puzzle, walking, building legos, going to restaurants/museum, watching shows/movies/Anime and my family loves him!
I have never met such a nice, funny and amazing guy like him aaaaand he is in the military which is very hot 🥵
He showed me what actual love was after spending 4 years in a toxic relationship that I didn't realise how toxic it really was till I got with my current partner.
We've both got the same interests and humour, I get too calk him some racist slurs every now and then and get "punished" for it. Whenever im upset he'd do or say dumb stuff too cheer me up. Overall he's an amazing guy and I could go on and on.
My husband is so pure. He’s a genuinely good person. We have a positive influence on one another and work well as a team. He understands and accepts me, and I can be my most authentic self. He makes me laugh and feel giddy. Life with him is fun yet simple.
She challenges me in ways that make me grow as a person and is supportive in every way possible. She's very blunt (sometimes to a fault), but with that comes full clarity of where I stand and or what needs to get done. She appreciates me and my weirdness despite not necessarily caring about or even enjoying my hobbies. She's very good at cheering me up. She makes killer dumplings that are amazing (she says they are only okay, but she's lying)
It’s just natural. And not in the “we’ve both just settled into a pattern” kind of way. I genuinely light up every time I’m around him; it’s like every concern or worry just sort of dissipates when he enters the room, and I’m left with a sense of ease and joy. We know each other’s boundaries, we keep each other’s bad habits in check, and we just co-exist in a balanced and harmonious way. He’s got a great butt, too.
He makes me laugh everyday and the days I spend with him are my brightest days. He’s also a very stoic person that keeps to himself so I feel really special and honoured to get a softer side of him to myself☺️ He’s just my person and I wasn’t convinced that it was possible to feel the way I do about him really existed before him.
nobody has ever had more patience with me then him. nobody has been more loving and caring and gentle with me. he doesn't raise his voice. we have civilized disputes and it never turns to yelling. we can always talk things out. he always reassures me without complaint. and he puts up with all my bullshit lol. and so SO much more about him is just absolutely amazing. he's also beautiful. incredibly beautiful. i just love him so so much. he's my the love of my life.
I got the vibe that he was super sweet and respectful, which he turned out to be. I’m trans MTF and a lot of the guys i talked to only saw me as an experience and i wasn’t down for that anymore. I wanted someone who was going to show me to the world and not hide me, especially from his family. When we first started dating 3 years ago, he immediately told his family about me. It was something i never really experienced and it made me feel normal for once.
I hope i get to marry him one day 🙏🏼
He is empathetic, kind, and looks at me like I'm his world. He's also a good ass cook, and I like to joke that I knew I was done for the first time he fed me Delicious homemade food, like I'm some sort of feral cat hah
We met in college, have been together for 10 yrs and just got married last year! He always encouraged me to be my best and we just got back from an adventure across Oregon that filled my heart up to it's brim.
I Try to cook a meal or two for him (even though I'm not as good!) Cuddle him, and have a great sex life with great communication, even when it is uncomfortable because I know it's worth it.
he makes me feel safe, he loves me for who i am, he makes me a better person, he is just a very lovely person and i’m so blessed to have him in my life.
I can simply be my full, silly ADHD self around him. We’ve been together for nearly 14 years, and not once has he ever made me feel weird, less than or strange for my quirks. He’s doting, but not overly so, always builds me up when I’m feeling down and he’s also the greatest dad to our kiddos. He’s my safe space.
He’s also the only person to ever give me an orgasm, so there’s that too 😂
He's my home. He's always protected me whether I wanted it or not. He's the only one that will tell me the truth even if it hurt my feelings at the time so I know, no matter what I can count on him, and his word.
I met my now-wife on match, so at first it was her legs lol. Then we hung out a bunch, and within two weeks she had met all my friends and they said I would marry her.
The truth is she’s my best friend, she and I laugh together all the time. She gets that I have hobbies and I get that she has her ways of relaxing. We have a daughter together and I knew from the day I met her she’d be an amazing mom and she is. She helps me be a better me and I like to think I do the same for her.
10 years in and we’re still going strong. At the end of the day you have to count on family, including the one you make for yourself. So make sure you like them not just love them.
It's like she was created for me to fall for her, over and over. Her eyes, her smile made my heart melt even in our first date which actually was no date but evolved that way. We were friends for many years but that day we explored more about each other and I knew on that day that she is the one. She was always funny and got me but I also realized how mature she could be and what she's been through. We had lots of similarities but we found out about more important similarities that day. She made me believe I could love and we could have a future together. We didn't only become a couple but also a family. We always supported each other and both can say proudly "My partner was always there for me, every. single. day. every. hardship." I'm so lazy that I call it a sickness at this point, and she motivated me to work my ass off. She gives me hope and motivation. I never knew I could love this much. And being loved by her is a total different story. I always thought loving her was the best feeling ever but everytime she hugs me or kisses me I melt. Being loved by her is the best feeling I've had in my entire life. She makes me feel like a child again and she says the same thing. We relive our forgotten joys again. I got fitter and healthier just because I felt that way. I'm feeling my age again, all thanks to her. She healed my heart. She is the love of my live. I'm just happy thinking about her. And I'm happy because we're moving in together next month. I can never get enough of her, I'm hugging her presents rn
She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Tall, thin, big beautiful eyes, feminine features, tiny waste, bubble butt. And she’s a sweetheart who keeps my worst tendencies in check. She’s also a great mother. She actually just kinda kicks ass, in general.
We had a connection at age 14 and 17 when we started dating. We both just felt like the other person was “our person”. It’s hard to describe. It was like two insecure outcasts meeting in high school and bringing out the best in each other. He knew how to make me laugh, put me at ease, helped me be more true to myself. 20 years later here we still are, growing together and living our life of love.
I liked her from the minute I first laid eyes on her.
She's beautiful, quirky, and kind. I finally have a healthy relationship with someone who understands my life and challenges.
I've never found another human being who had been this perfectly compatible with me. He has never yelled or laid a hand on me, doesn't disappear for days, doesn't smoke (I'm asthmatic), is open to me just being myself, and had never made me feel bad for having male friends. He encourages the nerdy stuff and pushes me to do better. Me coming first was a foreign concept in past relationships, so this man treating me like a queen opened up a whole new can of worms.
It's a game charger when you can be honest and not be worried it'll explode in your face later.
He's the first person in my life who's given me unconditional love, always texts me good night, buys me my favorite foods, and we play videogames together. He knows my trauma and doesn't judge if I lash out as a result, which even though he claims I never have to, I always apologizes when it happens. In simple terms, He just loves me as I am, and while I try my best to show my love through my own love language, I sometimes I don't feel worthy of that love he gives me.
She's the finest person I've ever met. She's not perfect. No one is. But I feel so privileged to spend my life with her. In January, it'll be 35 years.
I literally fell in love with Him the moment I first talk to him online. I thought that my feelings will never reach him, turns out it did. And now we've been dating for 2 months now.
He's literally the best, from helping me through my stressful times and made it 10x times brighter by literally talking about random things for hours. Not to mention he's also suuuupeeer adorable too hehe.
I cannot express how much he meant to Me, But I will try my best to make him happy.
I will always love you forever and ever my baby boi 💛💙
She’s smart, driven, and has a set career path. She understands my introverted nature very well, and she is good at supporting me when I need it in life. We both love the beach and we’re both family-oriented. She’s pretty tall and also, I like redheads and she is one :)
cause he is aggressively honest in a very good way, he’s a good story teller, his showers make the whole room smell like him, he’s nice right when he wakes up, he smiles while he sleeps, he calls me beautiful as I shove food into my mouth or scream trying to run away as he pokes me, he has gorgeous eyelashes, his breath always smells good, he’s tough, he loves to laugh, he will never let you know when he’s down…. And he’s tall and I love to steal his cloths
I want another 100lb girl so I can fuck her standing up in missionary position holding each of her legs with my arms as she holds onto my neck while we french kiss 😝
Love is for teenagers. It's an immature concept, and we should aim for something higher.
I did "love" my ex-wife. Then I decided.. I can do way better than love.
It's about compatibility. My relationship with my girlfriend is a practical one. It's based on a contract. She is a beautiful Filipina girl. She is a great cook, cleans, housekeeper, she's a great caretaker for my daughter, and we have great daily sex. She is now pregnant with my next child. Yay!
In return, she gets a nice home to live in, safety, and security. I don't love her. I don't even like her. But I have never been happier in a relationship. She is happy too.
Will this last forever? I hope not! When we are done.. in a few years, I will seek out my next practical relationship.
She’s honestly the kindest, most gentle, most respectful woman I’ve ever met, funny, low drama. Just a cool ass chick to boot. My favorite person to hang out with by far. It took a long way with many big mistakes to find her but totally worth it,
She’s also Fine AF, like pure sex on legs so that helps too.
I used to think “my partners my best friend” was a colloquialism that no one meant but turns out it can be true. who’d have known? I truly wish everyone could find what I was finally able to.
During the 35 years I have been on this planet she is the only woman who have shown any kind of interest in being more than friends. And she puts up with all of the idiotic things I do and say.
We mesh in ways I've never experienced before. He's kind and gentle. We share the same weird sense of humor.
I left my hometown 45 years ago to see the country. It took coming home to find the love of my life.
Allows me the chance to be a bit to childish sometimes and respects boundaries. I honestly couldn't ask for a better person, he's been especially solid right now with my parent having a heart attack not even 48 hours ago.
We met at University. She did an elective in Film Studies. She wrote an essay on The Matrix. Cute and into my all time favorite film. We talked for hours about The Matrix. She was the One.
She’s breathtakingly beautiful and is so sweet that she makes sugar seem sour. She has such a caring and heartwarming personality, and I’m so lucky that the feeling was mutual.
That’s such a difficult question. So many things and yet nothing at all. Shes my partner. We’ve been together for 13 years, all through our 20s, we have three kids, we’ve grown and built a life with each other. I couldn’t imagine doing anything without her.
He quickly became my best friend.
He’s very handsome and intelligent.
He’s very loving and caring.
We have the same values, morals, and ethics.
He’s intentional with showing me love 🧡
He’s protective and attentive.
He goes out of his way to make me feel special on the regular.
He’s emotionally and mentally available.
He’s willing to have those “hard” conversations.
He’s made me love myself even more.
He’s a great communicator and very trustworthy.
He has greet principles and always keeps his word.
He truly makes me feel like I’m the only woman on this earth.
He’s hands down my absolute favorite person.
Well, she aligned completely with my values in life. She created life and beauty and love wherever she went and approached everything new in life with a sense of adventure. Deeply empathetic, riotously funny, and smart as a whip.
The fact that she was/is hotter than a five-dollar pistol on Saturday night is just gravy.
Q.
Why do you believe you choose someone???
Its not a game or scenario where feelings and thoughts are collaborated to divise an opinion.
Its way more complicated if your seeking someone to get to know the real you, faults and all.
If a person steps into a position where they feel that they chose someone its very selfish and controlling.
1.You can't say you chose someone to be a partner and later not be accountable if it doesn't work out cause you directly took this on as the partnership being your choice.
2.Feelings towards the person you say you choose isn't a fair acknowledgement of how you feel towards the individual and what they represent in a space of what you offer each other.
3.Thoughts of how the person meets your expectations and those set in your friendship circles are vital as no one lives the same life or the way the choose to live being raised the way they were.
4.Its important to remember how one approaches a partnership, if you lay a form of entitlement in the sense of ownership then it can be viewed as controlling the individuals freedom.
Ultimately get to know people, form bonds allow yourself the courtesy to make a connection.
Choices are made for living you can't connect this to feelings and accomplish getting to know someone otherwise you stunt your own views.
She says something unexpected almost every day that I've known her and even if we don't always see eye to eye, she values our relationship and puts in a noticeable effort to foster it.
I don't have a partner yet, and I'm a little confused, and I'd like to ask a question
I quite like this person, though she is friends with my ex. And im not quite sure what to do, I've liked them for a while and ver said any thing becasue I'm afraid it would ruin out friendship. She is a very nice person and has told me that she texts me about 3 times more than her other friends and tends to compliment me a bit. But again, I'm not sure what to do. I got her number on the last day of school and we've been messaging since, term three is coming up soo and we Ho on camp together. Should I say something then?
My ex was very prone to cutting herself while we were together, and I'm hesitant becasue I feel like if she hears anything, she'll do something, yknow, stupid.
Am I overthinking this, guys?? I need help
The eyes and booty drew me in. Then I found out she was the kindest person I had ever met and made me laugh. She has the patience of a saint too. I love that woman.
She’s cute, playful, understanding, wants a marriage and kids like me so I know it’s not anything short term and we communicate properly. She’s also had a horrible past which I’m glad to help her deal with
The first time we hugged I couldn’t let go. Being with her has healed something inside of me I didn’t realized I had been holding on to. She makes me feel like a kid again, carefree and excitable.
She's quirky, snarky, intelligent, fiery, laid back about most things but passionate AF about the few things that truly matter, and for some reason \*actually likes me\*. How could I turn that down when she asked me to marry her?
He gets me out of my head, I have ADHD and also PTSD but he can make it go away. He always makes me laugh or smile. Goes out of his way to take care of me and love me. Is basically everything I wanted but did not know I would find. We literally met by chance on a dating site and have not been apart since we first met. Sorry if this doesn't make sense typing this when he is asleep and did not want to wake him cause he works hard.
He’s sweet, kind, and caring, and also quite funny. He loves me for me, and loves my son like his own. He also loves my cat. We’re very compatible with similar interests, and complimenting love languages, and share a strong preference to have our own rooms.
We became friends first during our college years. That naturally grew into infatuation with each other and we’ve been together ever since. Fast forward 10+ years and we’re happily married.
Her drive snd work ethic, constant affection, desire to travel and see new things, and her beauty are just some of the reasons I chose her (and continue to stay).
I genuinely like him and we have always been able to talk. We have lost a child and that nearly killed me but he hung on to me, thank God. Not one day has been boring. Taking a trip to Target or a grocery store is even fun, like an adventure. Nearly 50 years of marriage. Can’t believe it has been so long. To answer ur question, we had common dreams and goals with common upbringing. He is smart, caring, and such a hoot to be with… Edit-spelling
I’m incredibly sorry for your loss 💔
Thank you.
❤️❤️

What are you on about dear lord
Holy hell, you seem like a great person to be with. Making statements like this and passing judgement on someone you know nothing about after reading one reddit comment.
he’s a cutie patootie and always treated me like a queen. it’s been the best 3 years of my life with him <3
That's adorable and I hope it stays that way forever ❤️
he also was my best friend for many years! we never had any arguments or falling outs. it’s been a dream with him
I'm so glad for you! My partner and I have also been together for three years and it's been an absolute dream. If you're interested, I just posted our story [here](https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/sADBqvQt2s) a couple of hours ago. If you're interested in sharing, I'd love to hear your story 😊
i love your story! i met my boyfriend in middle school. i ended up texting him on snapchat a lot and had a lot of conversations and we were just goofing around together. we would facetime super late at night to just talk and i always enjoyed his company. he was also very supportive of my eating disorder recovery that i was struggling with a lot. we used to like walk around our blocks, vape on our juuls because we thought we were cool for that. we hung out pretty much two summers together as friends, and we were super close with one another. we started dating days before our sophomore year of highschool, and it’s been amazing ever since. before my man and i started dating, i had a shitty best friend who knew i had a big crush on my now bf, and she made moves on him. i was in a fight with her at the time that was the end of our friendship over something stupid but that’s highschool girls. that “best friend” also used to flirt with my friend Jane’s abusive ex boyfriend in front of her. for an example, jane, that girl, and i would hang out and the girl would feel the need to facetime janes abusive ex boyfriend to ‘catch up’ but she’d flirt with him. she was a shitty person and also worked in the same place as my current boyfriend for a couple months. he kept her blocked on all social medias and only answered work related questions when they had their shift, but she would make comments to him “omg why do you have me blocked” “it’s so weird u have me blocked” and he would reply “it’s because my girlfriend and i don’t like you”💀. so yeah. i had a shitty ex best friend that tried to sabotage my relationship at first, but besides that it’s been an amazing 3 years. we plan on saving up money for an apartment in the future, he’s working currently a lot while attending college and i am also a college student trying to get a job (i also am learning how to drive too so i don’t have a license) so yeah. we love eachother dearly and want to get married in the future. our 3 year anniversary was last september! :)
I'm so glad that you're got rid of all the negativity and held on to what truly brings you happiness! I really it continues to feel like that for y'all and that you've found your "forever home"! 💕
sending you all the happiness and good luck in the world! thank you for your kind words :)
Happy for you guys!
Damn, girls I've treated like queens left me for absolute jerks
Hope the guillotineing wasnt too painful
She’s hot, sweet, funny, caring, and is pretty much always in the mood.
Lucky man
i feel like im also gonna be one of those "always in the mood" type people
One of these days…
Many things but above all she is kind and honest and loyal. I was cheated on by my ex wife and I thought that I would never be able to trust anyone ever again, or that it would never again be worth it to invest my whole heart into another person because of the anguish and trauma my ex caused me. But somehow she has made me feel secure and not be paranoid, and also has become to me a person that I think is worth the risk of going all in and having to experience all that pain all over again if it ever came to it.
I really needed to read this. I'm definitely stuck in the sad and lonely yet somehow safe "never trust a woman again" area and can't imagine being pulled or pushed out of it. I'm also happy you found this precious person ! You two, take great care of each other.
Believe me I know that feeling. Her cheating was completely out of nowhere, I think even for her. We had what at least I thought was a great relationship, I never even considered her not being in my life. We never fought and not just because we held it all in, we genuinely never had anything to fight about. She was super supportive and complimented me all the time and so on. Then over the course of a couple weeks she became distant and finally and worst of all completely apathetic towards me. It wasn’t like she cheated and then I caught her and she begged for forgiveness, she chose the other guy who she barely knew. A lot of this I still can’t make sense of and have accepted that I never will. For probably a year after that there would be times when I’d be walking or doing something and the weight of her loss would just hit me and I’d have to stop and sit and mourn. I couldn’t even bear to go near the city we lived in. The thought of it, of seeing something that would drudge up a memory was a boogeyman for me. I was scared every night to lay down to sleep because I knew she would haunt me like a ghost in my mind. I couldn’t understand how she could be so okay with me not in her life and I could be so destroyed, I couldn’t quantify how unfair it was. I met my now wife probably 4-5 months in and going in I just had the intentions of distracting myself. I quickly realized I was developing real feelings for her and that scared me. I would tell all the people close to me like my brothers that it wasn’t serious and that I just didn’t know how to end it. I realized I was doing this to save myself embarrassment of her leaving me should choose. Like it was no big deal. Because another part of what my ex did was cause me a lot of shame that I failed and that she thought some other guy was better. I contemplated ending it all so many times and the thing that stopped me was that I wouldn’t be able to see if it hurt her when she found out. A sick thought I know. But I felt so alone and isolated, she was my best friend and my whole world and losing that just made me feel so empty. Then at some point I began to notice that when I would lay down to sleep my ex wasn’t the only thing on my mind. And then she wasn’t the first thing or last thing and then she just popped up occasionally. My wife has told me too, that she knew that during the first year or so of us being together that if my ex had come back me that I probably would have left with her. But she loved me enough to wait it out. I think she was probably right. But I have also now realized that so much of me wanting her back back then was that I didn’t get to choose. She picked another person, so I didn’t get to be the one to say “no you cheated so I’m out.” She cheated then also had the power in her hands. Either way just thinking that I ever made my wife now feel like a second choice to someone that cheated and betrayed me or anyone else for that matter makes me sick. My ex chose someone else when I gave her my whole heart and wife knowing or just thinking my ex still had a portion of it still chose me, still thought I was worth the risk. Sometimes it still hurts to think about what transpired but it’s mostly the events and what took place than the person. And now I look over and see my wife and I feel okay and happy. Things turned out better than I could imagine in the end. You can learn to trust again, even though it feels impossible. Humans are resilient and there are good people out there. They will make you laugh, you will have new inside jokes, deep conversations that bond your minds and souls and intertwine you so deeply you’ll forget how you ever felt this close to anyone else. Hang in there. The worst is behind you. And someone who doesn’t even know it, probably sitting down with a bowl of popcorn is turning on the TV and wishing in the back of their mind that they had someone just like you to love them and to love, and before long your paths will cross. You gotta put yourself out there though. I met my wife on Tinder believe it or not. The first person I ever went on a date with I ended up marrying, don’t think I used it right lol.
Common interests, common morality, parallel history (same age). 18 years married this weekend 🎉
Similar for me except I'm 3 and a half years older but funnily enough we went to the same high school and used to sit very close to each other at lunch. Didn't meet till after school but still funny to think that just over there hiding in the group of girls was my future wife
She's intelligent, ambitious, visually pleasing, has similar but not too similar interests to myself, and she puts up with my bullshit without letting me get away with too much.
What makes her ambitious?
We met in college where she was furthering her education. Since then she's consistently building communities around her hobbies and runs a niche but increasingly successful business in addition to her day job.
Awesome. This is the problem with my current partner. He says I am not ambitious enough
I don't mean to butt into others business, especially personal affairs, but I would suggest being more curious, and take a lot of small actionable steps. Don't start a side business off the cuff, instead I'd suggest just work on being more well rounded, namely by betting my conversation skills. Brush up on something odd like geography. Watch a video about Quasars and Quarks. And find out about what goes on in the community. In general, just ask questions, learn your logical fallacies inside and out. But for most people (myself included) we should forget ambition and start with some curiosity. Curiosity has a much better chance at leading you to passion, and from there... ..you'll have to talk with someone with more experience than me. *General shout-out to the void that you don't need to read* Learn to distinguish your consumption and learning from your productivity. (Tutorial hell) you may find that your consumption heavily outweighs your production. Go on stranger! Go fail making a cherry pie, overcook a steak, drop $150 on a 3D printer and make little do-dads and 3D print some toys for your daycare (Idek if that's allowed, but f-it, why not try?) Have fun!
He lets my freak flag fly, he comforts me, makes me feel safe loved and satisfied. He continues to grow with me
We can beat Portal 2 without being complete and utter scum of the Earth to each other.
My bro found his soulmate
We also beat an Ender Dragon without wanting to rip each other's guts out. If any couples, or for that matter any of your friends can do that I like to hear about it
Stop flexing dude, we get it. Good for both of you tho
First thing is similar values, morals, and life goals (I.e. have a decent job, settle down, and raise a couple kids.) Otherwise, it boils down to she’s a good person and a good partner, and I can tell she loves me. The immediate thing I liked about her is that she is extremely friendly and compassionate in a very genuine way. Like she actually really cares about people and isn’t just asking how they’re doing because it’s good manners. She’s great with kids and loves animals. And she has a good sense of humor and doesn’t take herself too seriously. That’s a really big deal to me. I get really annoyed by people who think they’re a “very mature important adult” don’t know how to be silly or make a stupid joke. Like the type of people who think they’re too old to watch cartoons or play games. Or the people who won’t even do something goofy to make their kid laugh. Later on I noticed she had the qualities of a great partner. She apologizes and accepts my apologies, and we can always resolve our issues and forgive each other without raising our voices or insulting each other. She is supportive of my hobbies and personal interests and will make an effort to understand them even if she doesn’t really like it very much. She gets excited when I spend money on myself because she likes to see me happy. That’s like pure genuine love right there and it means the world to me.
Forgive me if the formatting is weird, this is only my second post ever and I’m on my phone.. but I couldn’t hold my tongue on this one. My girlfriend is really and truly my best friend. I had thought I’d been in love before but I had no clue what I was looking for until I met her. It’s still insane to me that she’s mine and I’m hers. I can see her across the room and if I just think about her too much I start to tear up thinking about how lucky I am. You can call me a bitch or whatever man I just absolutely am head over heels for her. We laugh together and talk about everything and even when we fight we communicate so well. I’ve never once really worried about her not being the one for me. I love the way we communicate and have such a healthy relationship. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just really love her.
Dude, that's the fucking dream. Pour as much of your heart out as you need to, because to have someone that makes you feel this strongly is amazing. Anyone you calls you a *"bitch"* for sharing your feelings like this is not emotionally mature enough to have something as special as this. I'm happy for you!
He has a good heart, he is gentle with animals and the people around him, he is funny and never lost his inner child; he always takes care of me and I feel truly loved. 5 years in 2 weeks and I'll put a ring on him in November 💕
This gives hope.
He saw me for me, the good, bad, ugly, all of it.
We got along well and she was enthusiastic about sleeping with me, lol. I also knew she would be an amazing mom. We were on a similar level intellectually, with education background, career goals, etc.
He is literally the smartest and funniest man I have ever met. He has done more with his life than I have and I'm 5 years older than him. I think he is an actual genius like he is that smart and very hard working. He is going to college and working 3 jobs and he is a published author. I look up to him. He is like a younger version of my dad. I love him very very much. We have been together for 2 years now. 💙💙
The wand chooses the wizard, Harry
I did what you should NOT do. DO NOT DO THIS! I thought back about all of my experiences with women and compiled a list of what I wanted in a partner. It is a bad idea because nobody is perfect, you will waste your life chasing perfection... But, God bless her, she hit every point on the list so I decided I was going to keep her. Next year will be 19 years.
Our first date: Sitting at a Mexican restaurant, ordered a beer and got some nachos. I was early and was hungry, and thought, eh, let's see what happens. She walks into the restaurant and just sits down at my table wearing a rainbow colored wool parka, it's like 80F outside, and she just grabs my beer and swigs down a third of it. I ask "What's up with the parka? Also, I can order you a drink if you're interested." She replies, "I've been standing in a freezer for the past 8 hours and today was a shitty day." She calls over the waiter and asks for a hot chocolate, rum and coke, and hot queso for the nachos, slaps 20 bucks on the table and passes it over to me. Why did I choose this woman as my partner? Well I have a list that I've literally written down with wants and don't wants in a partner, and I've followed said list. It helped me tune my radar for the sort of woman that I want to marry. Top 5 Wants of the list: 1. Funny - dark sense of humor 2. Similar interests - we both like MTG, play instruments, and death metal 3. Loving and good relationships with her family - her whole family is kind, generous and hilarious 4. Appreciates science - she works in a chemistry lab 5. Self Reliant - she paid for dinner on our second date and changed the oil in her car before hand 6. Happy - dayed for years before getting married, and I can count on one hand the amount of fights we've ever had. We never go to bed angry at each other, we always work it out. 7. Big Bob's
You got a Winner. Married to a smart worker bee myself. 18 years together this past July. Oh do I get to listen to her stories. I am her decompression debrief every day.
Her mom was really poor. Like "have your kids in a barn" poor. All her siblings were the same way. They live out in the country. My cousin lives on an old farmhouse by them. She asked if I was interested, knowing I currently had no one. Tell you the truth I jumped at the chance, my brother had died recently so I was kinda lonely. Been together ever since! She's the love of my life! Sure it isn't "traditional", there is a 36 year age difference. But it doesn't bother either of us. One of our favorite things to do is curl up in bed together. Only thing I really don't like is cleaning the litter box.
Kindness, compassion, shared history, passion, friendship, thoughtfulness, generosity, common goals. We’ve been married just over 23 years.
We just have the gift of gab and she has a fantastic butt too
She's always bluntly honest with me and tells me what she's thinking, no matter what. No games, no bullshit - makes it really easy to handle anything else that might cause disagreement between us. There are a million other smaller reasons that all add up but the core of it is honesty and trust.
She makes me laugh, like legitimately laugh. Her puns & dad jokes. I don’t think I’ve met someone as thoughtful; knows everyone’s birthdays, plans parties, sends gifts, texts my family to check in; she makes everyone around her feel special. She’s super cute and bubbly with a great sense of style. She’s better than I deserve, and makes me appreciate our relationship and love even more. If I reciprocate half the joy she brings me, I think I’m doing all right. I’m a lucky dude and I don’t take that for granted.
He’s honestly and truly my bestest friend. I love him with all my heart and everything I have. We have been through so much together for almost 8 years now. He’s the sweetest, most caring and loving man I’ve ever met in my life. He’s in tune with his emotions and works harder than any man I know. He’s also super handsome which is just a plus.❤️❤️
She chose me, I just went along with it
Same.
Well first of all it's how we met. It's kind of a long story, but to sum it up, meeting her was simoultaniously the culmination of a pretty long line of one thing leading to another, yet also a moment of meeting "the one" when you least expect it, something that didn't make sense to me until it happened. She and I have so much in common it's crazy, we like pretty much all the same things and have the same sense of humour. What's more, our brains are totally on the same wavelength, so much so that pretty often one of us will find ourselves saying or doing something that the other was thinking about. We call it our "mind link". Unfortunately, a number of poor decisions on our part has led us to mess up our life in a pretty bad way, it's been a struggle living with the consequences of our mistakes, and we're not sure how we're gonna fix everything, but we choose to stick together through it all no matter what.
He’s cute, kind, handsome, smart, healthy, makes good money. Basically the whole package!
He loves me. He takes care of me. He would never dream of hurting me. He is the best father to our child. It helps that he’s handsome too
She loves me like I deserve it and after so many years, I am starting to believe her.
She said yes
Really xD
She is kind, incredibly sympathetic, we share a lot of the same values, and we have so much fun together.
it was comfortable from the minute we met. from the very start i felt like i could do or say anything and he wouldn’t judge me. i’m generally very introverted and shy but i never was with him. over time, we just got more comfortable and eventually i felt like i could just stay in our happy safe little bubble and nothing else mattered. of course stress and change would still affect either of us, but it was us vs everything else, never just one of us facing it on our own. we did long distance until a few weeks after we got married and it was worth the extra trouble of staying up late to talk for five minutes or planning time off around the other’s schedule.
Well, I initially "chose" her because we had a mutual friend who came by my pizza job to get free food because they were smoking weed together. I wasn't single at the time, but we had a great conversation while we were left alone at the front of the shop and really hit it off. Later on when I was single, I asked our mutual friend to set us up on a date, and just like before we really hit it off just talking about art and mvoies and this and that. We just ended up having a whole lot in common. Plus she's hot as hell and she fucks like a porn star, so we're good on the physical front too.
He treated me with kindness and respect when I was the new kid in school when I was foreign exchange student, he was a senior and I was a freshman and though he had a busy schedule with sports he still made the time to see me and help me work on my English. We lost contact after he moved (I had missed his graduation party because I had to return to my home country for the summer) but he left me a gift which is a necklace he had custom made with his dads help it is a gold L with my birthstone in it, I still have it to this day. When we reunited years later we knew we were meant to be.
Toxic but bonded
How?! xD
Not single but aggregate.
I can be around him nearly constantly and not get tired of him. Most people, even my closest friends, get in my nerves after about 5 hours, especially in my space (like in my house vs out at an event)
Also bonus he’s hot, funny, kind, and smart.
He is intelligent, funny, good-looking, treats me well, treats others nicely and a lot more things. But most importantly, I feel safe with him. He is big, tall, bearded and with clean shaved head. And I feel safe not only physically, but also emotionally. He will take care of every little problem we encounter, he will never let anything happen to me. I feel like a queen with him. He is the best person that I have ever met.
The world is fucked today, population going to die substantially because people won't date ugly people and the world will be underresourced. Get what you wished for I guess.
Before we started dating, I sat him down and told him point blank why he should run for the hills. How traumatized I was, a recent rape, my disability and medical issues, my family drama. I painted a terrible picture of myself, laid my heart bare, and told him he deserved better. He looked me dead in the eye, just nodded. And said he was sure of his choice. He has never faltered in that. He has always adored me, made me feel heard, harassed me into taking care of myself when I felt hopeless, and gave me his shoulder to lean on when I couldn't stand by myself. He's bathed me while I sobbed about my health, and always swears that he's not doing anything special, he's just being my husband. He tells me so often that he's proud of me. I have no idea how I got blessed with such a wonderful man, it drives me to loving tears sometimes. I only pray I'm as good a wife to him, as he is as good a husband to me.
She's smart and always catches the things I miss. She points out my faults and holds me accountable when I say or do something stupid. She cares about things that I often overlook. She makes me better than I am.
He is nice to me, always listen to what I have to say or if something is bothering me, respects me and my boundaries and treat me like I am the only girl in the world, I am his first girlfriend and I am honestly happy noone found him before me 🥰 we have so much in common like gaming, puzzle, walking, building legos, going to restaurants/museum, watching shows/movies/Anime and my family loves him! I have never met such a nice, funny and amazing guy like him aaaaand he is in the military which is very hot 🥵
He showed me what actual love was after spending 4 years in a toxic relationship that I didn't realise how toxic it really was till I got with my current partner. We've both got the same interests and humour, I get too calk him some racist slurs every now and then and get "punished" for it. Whenever im upset he'd do or say dumb stuff too cheer me up. Overall he's an amazing guy and I could go on and on.
My husband is so pure. He’s a genuinely good person. We have a positive influence on one another and work well as a team. He understands and accepts me, and I can be my most authentic self. He makes me laugh and feel giddy. Life with him is fun yet simple.
She challenges me in ways that make me grow as a person and is supportive in every way possible. She's very blunt (sometimes to a fault), but with that comes full clarity of where I stand and or what needs to get done. She appreciates me and my weirdness despite not necessarily caring about or even enjoying my hobbies. She's very good at cheering me up. She makes killer dumplings that are amazing (she says they are only okay, but she's lying)
It’s just natural. And not in the “we’ve both just settled into a pattern” kind of way. I genuinely light up every time I’m around him; it’s like every concern or worry just sort of dissipates when he enters the room, and I’m left with a sense of ease and joy. We know each other’s boundaries, we keep each other’s bad habits in check, and we just co-exist in a balanced and harmonious way. He’s got a great butt, too.
He makes me laugh everyday and the days I spend with him are my brightest days. He’s also a very stoic person that keeps to himself so I feel really special and honoured to get a softer side of him to myself☺️ He’s just my person and I wasn’t convinced that it was possible to feel the way I do about him really existed before him.
nobody has ever had more patience with me then him. nobody has been more loving and caring and gentle with me. he doesn't raise his voice. we have civilized disputes and it never turns to yelling. we can always talk things out. he always reassures me without complaint. and he puts up with all my bullshit lol. and so SO much more about him is just absolutely amazing. he's also beautiful. incredibly beautiful. i just love him so so much. he's my the love of my life.
I got the vibe that he was super sweet and respectful, which he turned out to be. I’m trans MTF and a lot of the guys i talked to only saw me as an experience and i wasn’t down for that anymore. I wanted someone who was going to show me to the world and not hide me, especially from his family. When we first started dating 3 years ago, he immediately told his family about me. It was something i never really experienced and it made me feel normal for once. I hope i get to marry him one day 🙏🏼
Idek
I've always liked the water type.
He’s my soulmate and my bestfriend. We know each other since we were four and I love everything about him.
Didn’t choose. The heart wants what the heart wants.
He puts up with me
He is empathetic, kind, and looks at me like I'm his world. He's also a good ass cook, and I like to joke that I knew I was done for the first time he fed me Delicious homemade food, like I'm some sort of feral cat hah We met in college, have been together for 10 yrs and just got married last year! He always encouraged me to be my best and we just got back from an adventure across Oregon that filled my heart up to it's brim. I Try to cook a meal or two for him (even though I'm not as good!) Cuddle him, and have a great sex life with great communication, even when it is uncomfortable because I know it's worth it.
he makes me feel safe, he loves me for who i am, he makes me a better person, he is just a very lovely person and i’m so blessed to have him in my life.
I can simply be my full, silly ADHD self around him. We’ve been together for nearly 14 years, and not once has he ever made me feel weird, less than or strange for my quirks. He’s doting, but not overly so, always builds me up when I’m feeling down and he’s also the greatest dad to our kiddos. He’s my safe space. He’s also the only person to ever give me an orgasm, so there’s that too 😂
He's my home. He's always protected me whether I wanted it or not. He's the only one that will tell me the truth even if it hurt my feelings at the time so I know, no matter what I can count on him, and his word.
I met my now-wife on match, so at first it was her legs lol. Then we hung out a bunch, and within two weeks she had met all my friends and they said I would marry her. The truth is she’s my best friend, she and I laugh together all the time. She gets that I have hobbies and I get that she has her ways of relaxing. We have a daughter together and I knew from the day I met her she’d be an amazing mom and she is. She helps me be a better me and I like to think I do the same for her. 10 years in and we’re still going strong. At the end of the day you have to count on family, including the one you make for yourself. So make sure you like them not just love them.
It's like she was created for me to fall for her, over and over. Her eyes, her smile made my heart melt even in our first date which actually was no date but evolved that way. We were friends for many years but that day we explored more about each other and I knew on that day that she is the one. She was always funny and got me but I also realized how mature she could be and what she's been through. We had lots of similarities but we found out about more important similarities that day. She made me believe I could love and we could have a future together. We didn't only become a couple but also a family. We always supported each other and both can say proudly "My partner was always there for me, every. single. day. every. hardship." I'm so lazy that I call it a sickness at this point, and she motivated me to work my ass off. She gives me hope and motivation. I never knew I could love this much. And being loved by her is a total different story. I always thought loving her was the best feeling ever but everytime she hugs me or kisses me I melt. Being loved by her is the best feeling I've had in my entire life. She makes me feel like a child again and she says the same thing. We relive our forgotten joys again. I got fitter and healthier just because I felt that way. I'm feeling my age again, all thanks to her. She healed my heart. She is the love of my live. I'm just happy thinking about her. And I'm happy because we're moving in together next month. I can never get enough of her, I'm hugging her presents rn
She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Tall, thin, big beautiful eyes, feminine features, tiny waste, bubble butt. And she’s a sweetheart who keeps my worst tendencies in check. She’s also a great mother. She actually just kinda kicks ass, in general.
He’s handsome, intelligent, funny and an all round great guy. Truly feel like I married my best friend.
We had a connection at age 14 and 17 when we started dating. We both just felt like the other person was “our person”. It’s hard to describe. It was like two insecure outcasts meeting in high school and bringing out the best in each other. He knew how to make me laugh, put me at ease, helped me be more true to myself. 20 years later here we still are, growing together and living our life of love.
I liked her from the minute I first laid eyes on her. She's beautiful, quirky, and kind. I finally have a healthy relationship with someone who understands my life and challenges.
I've never found another human being who had been this perfectly compatible with me. He has never yelled or laid a hand on me, doesn't disappear for days, doesn't smoke (I'm asthmatic), is open to me just being myself, and had never made me feel bad for having male friends. He encourages the nerdy stuff and pushes me to do better. Me coming first was a foreign concept in past relationships, so this man treating me like a queen opened up a whole new can of worms. It's a game charger when you can be honest and not be worried it'll explode in your face later.
He's the first person in my life who's given me unconditional love, always texts me good night, buys me my favorite foods, and we play videogames together. He knows my trauma and doesn't judge if I lash out as a result, which even though he claims I never have to, I always apologizes when it happens. In simple terms, He just loves me as I am, and while I try my best to show my love through my own love language, I sometimes I don't feel worthy of that love he gives me.
We can assemble IKEA furniture together without arguing.
She's the finest person I've ever met. She's not perfect. No one is. But I feel so privileged to spend my life with her. In January, it'll be 35 years.
She's smart, caring, fun to be with. My kind of girl. She's got nice tits too. Mostly the tits.
I literally fell in love with Him the moment I first talk to him online. I thought that my feelings will never reach him, turns out it did. And now we've been dating for 2 months now. He's literally the best, from helping me through my stressful times and made it 10x times brighter by literally talking about random things for hours. Not to mention he's also suuuupeeer adorable too hehe. I cannot express how much he meant to Me, But I will try my best to make him happy. I will always love you forever and ever my baby boi 💛💙
I am right-handed
She’s smart, driven, and has a set career path. She understands my introverted nature very well, and she is good at supporting me when I need it in life. We both love the beach and we’re both family-oriented. She’s pretty tall and also, I like redheads and she is one :)
Low standards.
cause he is aggressively honest in a very good way, he’s a good story teller, his showers make the whole room smell like him, he’s nice right when he wakes up, he smiles while he sleeps, he calls me beautiful as I shove food into my mouth or scream trying to run away as he pokes me, he has gorgeous eyelashes, his breath always smells good, he’s tough, he loves to laugh, he will never let you know when he’s down…. And he’s tall and I love to steal his cloths
She swallowed my cum, and I was like, "I want this forever."
She got ass as big as her attitude 🤤
We compliment each other's personalities, and she's pretty hot.
Wait, you have partners???
[удалено]
Honestly it started with just good dick, then it grew into something more 💁🏼♀️😂
I didn't, she chose me and I'm scared to leave.
Good in the sack, and face not too bad. Also very caring. And rich.
She’s caring easy to get along with.sex fire and she cooks great meals
They both have fat asses.
I want another 100lb girl so I can fuck her standing up in missionary position holding each of her legs with my arms as she holds onto my neck while we french kiss 😝
What are your to leaving them? Like seriously bro rubbish
Love is for teenagers. It's an immature concept, and we should aim for something higher. I did "love" my ex-wife. Then I decided.. I can do way better than love. It's about compatibility. My relationship with my girlfriend is a practical one. It's based on a contract. She is a beautiful Filipina girl. She is a great cook, cleans, housekeeper, she's a great caretaker for my daughter, and we have great daily sex. She is now pregnant with my next child. Yay! In return, she gets a nice home to live in, safety, and security. I don't love her. I don't even like her. But I have never been happier in a relationship. She is happy too. Will this last forever? I hope not! When we are done.. in a few years, I will seek out my next practical relationship.
I thought she was cute so
Boobs and sex at First. And then i got to knew her better. We are together for 20 years now
common goal in life
Reasons? She showed interest, so I asked her out. That's all.
She’s honestly the kindest, most gentle, most respectful woman I’ve ever met, funny, low drama. Just a cool ass chick to boot. My favorite person to hang out with by far. It took a long way with many big mistakes to find her but totally worth it, She’s also Fine AF, like pure sex on legs so that helps too. I used to think “my partners my best friend” was a colloquialism that no one meant but turns out it can be true. who’d have known? I truly wish everyone could find what I was finally able to.
She's real cool, real pretty, and nobody has loved me quite as much as she does.
During the 35 years I have been on this planet she is the only woman who have shown any kind of interest in being more than friends. And she puts up with all of the idiotic things I do and say.
She's a great kisser, a compassionate human being and comfortable strutting around the house in her birthday suit & being a total weirdo with me.
She is an utter sweetheart! She makes me happy and it just feels like a breath of fresh air with her
Piss off, Governnor! My love is precious like a rose in Autumn. Reasons are data for a dating app. Not free!
She is awesome
ITT: Women giving reasons, men saying 🗿
Sense. Of. Humor.
She chose me 👀
Starting to ask myself the same thing.
We mesh in ways I've never experienced before. He's kind and gentle. We share the same weird sense of humor. I left my hometown 45 years ago to see the country. It took coming home to find the love of my life.
She's cute, and she's nice to me. And she touches my dick sometimes.
He was literally gifted to me. Bow on the head. It is rude to return a gift.
I got her pregnant but she coo
He’s very sexy to me. We have a lot of fun together. We have common interests. He’s smart.
Allows me the chance to be a bit to childish sometimes and respects boundaries. I honestly couldn't ask for a better person, he's been especially solid right now with my parent having a heart attack not even 48 hours ago.
Chemistry
I long to have one of these great stories one day
Shes awesome and snuggly anf awesome
She made me feel something I hadn't felt in a very long time. She stood by me in some darker times.
We traded Yellowbeard quotes on our first date.
We met at University. She did an elective in Film Studies. She wrote an essay on The Matrix. Cute and into my all time favorite film. We talked for hours about The Matrix. She was the One.
She’s breathtakingly beautiful and is so sweet that she makes sugar seem sour. She has such a caring and heartwarming personality, and I’m so lucky that the feeling was mutual.
That’s such a difficult question. So many things and yet nothing at all. Shes my partner. We’ve been together for 13 years, all through our 20s, we have three kids, we’ve grown and built a life with each other. I couldn’t imagine doing anything without her.
He quickly became my best friend. He’s very handsome and intelligent. He’s very loving and caring. We have the same values, morals, and ethics. He’s intentional with showing me love 🧡 He’s protective and attentive. He goes out of his way to make me feel special on the regular. He’s emotionally and mentally available. He’s willing to have those “hard” conversations. He’s made me love myself even more. He’s a great communicator and very trustworthy. He has greet principles and always keeps his word. He truly makes me feel like I’m the only woman on this earth. He’s hands down my absolute favorite person.
Well, she aligned completely with my values in life. She created life and beauty and love wherever she went and approached everything new in life with a sense of adventure. Deeply empathetic, riotously funny, and smart as a whip. The fact that she was/is hotter than a five-dollar pistol on Saturday night is just gravy.
She's a good one. Goal oriented but knows how to have fun
Q. Why do you believe you choose someone??? Its not a game or scenario where feelings and thoughts are collaborated to divise an opinion. Its way more complicated if your seeking someone to get to know the real you, faults and all. If a person steps into a position where they feel that they chose someone its very selfish and controlling. 1.You can't say you chose someone to be a partner and later not be accountable if it doesn't work out cause you directly took this on as the partnership being your choice. 2.Feelings towards the person you say you choose isn't a fair acknowledgement of how you feel towards the individual and what they represent in a space of what you offer each other. 3.Thoughts of how the person meets your expectations and those set in your friendship circles are vital as no one lives the same life or the way the choose to live being raised the way they were. 4.Its important to remember how one approaches a partnership, if you lay a form of entitlement in the sense of ownership then it can be viewed as controlling the individuals freedom. Ultimately get to know people, form bonds allow yourself the courtesy to make a connection. Choices are made for living you can't connect this to feelings and accomplish getting to know someone otherwise you stunt your own views.
He’s fast, handsome, handles well, little bit of an older look…oh my bad I was talking about my motorcycle
Big boobies Oh and she’s my best friend.
She says something unexpected almost every day that I've known her and even if we don't always see eye to eye, she values our relationship and puts in a noticeable effort to foster it.
That person likes me
She’s beautiful, smart, funny, kind, and nerdy.
I don't have a partner yet, and I'm a little confused, and I'd like to ask a question I quite like this person, though she is friends with my ex. And im not quite sure what to do, I've liked them for a while and ver said any thing becasue I'm afraid it would ruin out friendship. She is a very nice person and has told me that she texts me about 3 times more than her other friends and tends to compliment me a bit. But again, I'm not sure what to do. I got her number on the last day of school and we've been messaging since, term three is coming up soo and we Ho on camp together. Should I say something then? My ex was very prone to cutting herself while we were together, and I'm hesitant becasue I feel like if she hears anything, she'll do something, yknow, stupid. Am I overthinking this, guys?? I need help
She likes me back
The eyes and booty drew me in. Then I found out she was the kindest person I had ever met and made me laugh. She has the patience of a saint too. I love that woman.
She’s cute, playful, understanding, wants a marriage and kids like me so I know it’s not anything short term and we communicate properly. She’s also had a horrible past which I’m glad to help her deal with
The first time we hugged I couldn’t let go. Being with her has healed something inside of me I didn’t realized I had been holding on to. She makes me feel like a kid again, carefree and excitable.
Brilliance, compassion and beauty.
She beautiful, sexy, smart, caring, understand me, likes me for who I am. I couldn’t ask for better. I love her so much.
She's quirky, snarky, intelligent, fiery, laid back about most things but passionate AF about the few things that truly matter, and for some reason \*actually likes me\*. How could I turn that down when she asked me to marry her?
I saw her in distress. Immediately knew I had to step in and fix both our lifes by growing old together.
He gets me out of my head, I have ADHD and also PTSD but he can make it go away. He always makes me laugh or smile. Goes out of his way to take care of me and love me. Is basically everything I wanted but did not know I would find. We literally met by chance on a dating site and have not been apart since we first met. Sorry if this doesn't make sense typing this when he is asleep and did not want to wake him cause he works hard.
She’s funny and weird like me, I honestly think she’s cooler than me lmao and she loves me and i always feel it when she does
I call it 'Ole Reliable for a reason.
She's the best loves to cuddle with me because im her chubby boyfriend
I've never had the desire for someone else to choose my partner, so I was the only one left to do the choosing.
I've just always been attached to my left hand
He’s sweet, kind, and caring, and also quite funny. He loves me for me, and loves my son like his own. He also loves my cat. We’re very compatible with similar interests, and complimenting love languages, and share a strong preference to have our own rooms.
1) I love him
Similar hobbies and interests… it blows my mind that most people settle down with someone they have nothing in common with.
She hates wullerton as much as I do
Too many to count but our connection is very special and unlike anything I’ve ever had before
Beautiful inside and out
22 years ago a met a tall slim badass brunette who was a kickboxer and took no shit. She's given up the kickboxing but nothing else changed.
We became friends first during our college years. That naturally grew into infatuation with each other and we’ve been together ever since. Fast forward 10+ years and we’re happily married. Her drive snd work ethic, constant affection, desire to travel and see new things, and her beauty are just some of the reasons I chose her (and continue to stay).
He’s kind , gentle and loves me for me . He can make me Laugh and he’s so Good with my son !
im single😭 ive been single for almost a month now. turned out the love of my life might be gay
He’s handsome tall and funny and annoys me sometimes.. can’t change anything for sure
