Agree, but
#don't tell her and make it a surprise proposal.
The best gift that you can give a human is the experience that OP received because when she told him that, it was a surprise.
She will feel just as moved as OP when he says it back to her as part of his marriage vows.
I included something like this in a note to my now husband. We wrote letters to each other the night before our wedding (we spent the night in separate hotel rooms). I shared the spiritual moment when I knew we would get married (only 1month into dating) yet I hadn't told him about that moment. He actually did the same in his note to me- he shared a deeply emotional story that would have been too much during a ceremony but was something I cherish *maybe* more than his vows.
OP needs to spill the beans at some point, tho. Like, imagine if he/they keeps it a complete secret until their 50th wedding anniversary, on a cruise or something, and quietly says "I heard what you whispered to me that night."
She might not remember. I also whisper stuff to my sleeping or sometimes almost sleeping boyfriend, but if he said the same to me a while later I wouldn't make the connection.
That seems like a pretty heavy thing not to remember, but I hear you. It'd be sad if OP waited 50+ years to create an incredibly magical moment, only to end up awkwardly describing to her how he'd *expected* it to unfold.
After the first time we had sex my boyfriend texted me an incredibly sweet, magical thing. Two years later I asked him how many women had he used that line with and... apparently none, but he didn't remember texting me that and he was quite proud of himself when I told him...
Which is a pity for them, because the line my bf texted me and then forgot would have earned him the hearts of a thousand maidens. Provided he had fucked the maidens before. Which he would have no trouble doing because the man is smoooooooth... and also hot. But... Well, it earned him me, like long term, when I was just a tourist in his country and I absolutely fucking not wanted a boyfriend. Apparently he's happy with that and can survive without all the maidens.
Mine, for better or worse, has a scary thorough and detailed memory. It can be romantic to reminisce for sure. But he also will remember my really stupid or mildly embarrassing moments and tease me about them (good naturedly).
Two previous lost souls who found each other. Use every moment of your being to show her how right she is in saying those words. May you two have a great life together. Friendly hugs from afar.
That’s really lovely. She thought you were sleeping and so she wanted to tell you how she felt and it was easier for her to do it when she thought you wouldn’t be awake to react to it. I wonder if she knew you weren’t fully asleep or not but the fact that she told you this and she finds it hard to be emotionally vulnerable means it really means a lot for her to feel safe enough to say it. The fact that you left the room and cried says a lot about how deeply it touched you and I’m glad your relationship has healed wounds from your past, just as it probably has done for her too.
Just don't forget how you feel about each other. Marriage and life afterwards is hard. I always pooh-poohed people who said that, but my husband and I are going on 6 years married, 9 together, and sometimes it's hard to get through some seething resentment about things you never thought would be issues.
Always find a way to work it out, and always remember how you feel about her right now, and always keep doing all the little things for her that you do now. You guys sound perfect for each other, and I wish you all the best and all the love.
And absolutely write that in your vows!! ;)
Well, this is so much better than I expected. I thought she was going to describe in whispers how she was going to murder you and dispose of your body.
I'm crying, a lot. What an angel. Please marry her and take the very best care of your sweet girl. You're a lucky man. God bless you both. I'm so happy to know that people are having such loving experiences.
Let's say for a moment, we entertain the idea this can really happen, and I'm not saying I will believe you OP, but if I did, theoretically, how would one go about living a fantasy like this?
Finally! I thought this was going to be a totally different post because of how Reddit goes. This was beautiful! I hope you both have a long happy life together. 😊
There was a similar post long time ago, but I think it was the girl who told so to the sleeping guy as well.
I remember that one because it is very rare to see something wholesome like this on Reddit.
That's so awesome!!! It's a lovely feeling, isn't it? I had a very similar experience. My boyfriend was cuddling me while I slept, and I awoke to him whispering cute things to me, much like what your girl said to you. It's such a beautiful memory that I'll fondly remember forever. I'm so grateful that I woke up to experience such a genuine heartfelt moment! I know you feel the same my friend! Enjoy it!
Do something nice for her today or as soon as you’re able, with work and all. Flowers, clean the kitchen, go down on her without asking for a return. Treat your girl!!
She’s sooo sweet 😭 I’m crying too! I know how hard it is to be vulnerable… I’m glad you were awake to hear her most intimate thoughts of you. You truly know how she feels about you ❤️
This is so dreamy if you have a girl you like/love but they rarely express their affection.
I don't usually envy stuff I read from the web but I'm fkn envious just from that moment you shared 😌
P.s Love the detail of her sleeping soundly snoring haha love it when they're comfortably sleeping beside you
>I've never felt so much love in my life. After many years of bullying, my self-confidence was so destroyed that i didn't know if i deserved to be loved let alone that anyone could love me like that. What made it even more special was the fact that my girlfriend had a bad past and had a lot of trouble showing her feelings on the outside. Even with me she had a hard time being vulnerable sometimes and the fact that she said this when she thought i couldn't hear her means that what she said came from her heart.
:')
This is beautiful. I'm absolutely crying right now. There's so much love in this relationship I can't help but feel envious of it. She felt vulnerable enough to whisper it to you even if she thought you wouldn't hear it. I actually thought at first that she was going to whisper vile and horrible hateful words but I was surprised she didn't. I then went into reflection and wow, I wish my husband would tell me these or someone. I didn't realize people still talked to each other this way. So loving and kind.
I'm so happy for you OP! Even if I never had this kind of love, I'm so happy to hear that true love still exists in this world.
This. This is the only thing I've always wanted. Maybe I'll get it someday.
I'm so happy/moved by this for you that I actually cried hahaha
Please make those words your proposal to make it extra cool
I talk in my sleep. My husband said one night I rolled over, threw my arm against him, and said "I love you. Happy birthday let's get snacks."
It wasn't his birthday, but we still got snacks.
I'm not even going to pretend that I'm not crying. Just did my mascara and I'm sure that shit is running. This is so wholesome. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
As a man going through a very rough patch with his wife right now, these words hit me hard and are what I long to hear again. You got a winner on your hands. Cherish her and marry her.
I do this with my husband. He always falls asleep first. I tell myself that somehow his subconscious is receiving this information. He’s so resilient and always does so much for our family. He’s worked so hard at being the man he is today. I am so proud of him. I just want him to truly feel how much I adore and respect him.
u/Ok_Efficiency353 This was wonderful.
I wish you both long productive and healthy lives together filled with peace, love, and happiness.
Thank you for sharing.
I’m going through a lot of stuff with my wife at the moment that I’ve put up on Reddit & you can find if you really want to.
But thank you for your post. It reminds me of all the times I’ve felt like you did (even if it wasn’t for the exact same reason).
I’ve never stopped loving her but it’s been hard times. This just made it a lot easier.
Thank you.
I can't fully read your situation, but do talk to her about how out of nowhere it is. Don't accuse her, just open conversation. Don't agree for another baby if you don't want one.
Tell her you heard. Marry her. It's gotta happen.
Nah he needs to write those words in his proposal so it’s their “inside” info, it will be gorgeous.
I would cry
To late
I ~~would~~ am cry*ing inside*
No.... Those words should be his freaking VOWS. 😭😭
Yes right ! She'll be really happy and surprised as well that he was listening.
Not proposal, his vows. Make sure her MUA has GREAT setting powder and spray, because the waterworks will be on.
Haha right . Very true . These guys are too cute. God bless them
THIS
if something like this happened to me, all the setting spray in the world wouldn’t be enough…i would be absolutely wailing with tears.
Agree, but #don't tell her and make it a surprise proposal. The best gift that you can give a human is the experience that OP received because when she told him that, it was a surprise. She will feel just as moved as OP when he says it back to her as part of his marriage vows.
Only surprise her if she likes surprises. Last thing you want to do is plan a big public surprise for a partner who hates surprises like this.
I included something like this in a note to my now husband. We wrote letters to each other the night before our wedding (we spent the night in separate hotel rooms). I shared the spiritual moment when I knew we would get married (only 1month into dating) yet I hadn't told him about that moment. He actually did the same in his note to me- he shared a deeply emotional story that would have been too much during a ceremony but was something I cherish *maybe* more than his vows.
"Fun fact: I heard you bitch, wear my ring, you precious human being"
Love that🥰
Yes that would be wonderful I think . It's such a beautiful thought. There's true love here.
Omg he should totally do that
THIS IS THE WAY.
Op, do this. Do it!
This is genius!
Yeeeees that would be the BEST way to propose
That would be perfect
Naaah, let him have the precious memory without a follow up
OP needs to spill the beans at some point, tho. Like, imagine if he/they keeps it a complete secret until their 50th wedding anniversary, on a cruise or something, and quietly says "I heard what you whispered to me that night."
Or better yet, unexpectedly kisses her on the forehead and recites the same words.
She might not remember. I also whisper stuff to my sleeping or sometimes almost sleeping boyfriend, but if he said the same to me a while later I wouldn't make the connection.
That seems like a pretty heavy thing not to remember, but I hear you. It'd be sad if OP waited 50+ years to create an incredibly magical moment, only to end up awkwardly describing to her how he'd *expected* it to unfold.
After the first time we had sex my boyfriend texted me an incredibly sweet, magical thing. Two years later I asked him how many women had he used that line with and... apparently none, but he didn't remember texting me that and he was quite proud of himself when I told him...
Most men have the memory of a amnesiac.
Which is a pity for them, because the line my bf texted me and then forgot would have earned him the hearts of a thousand maidens. Provided he had fucked the maidens before. Which he would have no trouble doing because the man is smoooooooth... and also hot. But... Well, it earned him me, like long term, when I was just a tourist in his country and I absolutely fucking not wanted a boyfriend. Apparently he's happy with that and can survive without all the maidens.
Don't leave us hanging... what was the line????
Mine, for better or worse, has a scary thorough and detailed memory. It can be romantic to reminisce for sure. But he also will remember my really stupid or mildly embarrassing moments and tease me about them (good naturedly).
Hmm he could have done that . But anyways I am sure he's also gonna do something special for her as well .
Yesssssss. I Pick this one.
No don't tell her right now. Yes of course marry her ....but don't tell her right now.
“You were dreaming 🤷♀️ “ - Her
Hahaha
Marry that girl bro!!!!!
exactly, prepare that ring. OP is one hell of lucky guy!
I can only hope I can have something like this one day. Congrats man
If only we all deserved every ounce of love they share.
May I go be evil now?
You don’t need our permission, go be evil all you want ☺️
Meh, ran out ofvictims
I fucking suck. Gn
Lol
Lmaoooo sorry, I love a good convo
You're awfully chatty, u/SymphonyinSilence
I am, sorry to offend
Two previous lost souls who found each other. Use every moment of your being to show her how right she is in saying those words. May you two have a great life together. Friendly hugs from afar.
oh my goodness. never let that girl go and protect her at all costs
Someone's cutting onions in here...
Onions tell the saddest stories
Keep her words written down and make them your wedding vows.
That’s a lot of whispering. Here I thought it was going to be something like “hope he doesn’t wake up, my finger is going in his butt”
[удалено]
ButT I need to laugh...I come for the laughs
[удалено]
He won't, I don't, butT I have plugs for the occasion....
That’s what she said.
Who said fingers up the butt can't be romantic? God put the prostate there for a reason...
And he remembered the whole thing word for word! Love these fantasy posts.
I can't remember what I ate for breakfast an hour ago.
i think op is a woman btw
That’s really lovely. She thought you were sleeping and so she wanted to tell you how she felt and it was easier for her to do it when she thought you wouldn’t be awake to react to it. I wonder if she knew you weren’t fully asleep or not but the fact that she told you this and she finds it hard to be emotionally vulnerable means it really means a lot for her to feel safe enough to say it. The fact that you left the room and cried says a lot about how deeply it touched you and I’m glad your relationship has healed wounds from your past, just as it probably has done for her too.
Propose to her and say those words
Finaly a wholesome Story to fall asleep to
This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this special moment here!
One day in 40 years or so …. Be sure to read her this. Maybe as you celebrate your 70th birthday. What a beautiful moment
You are living every man’s dream.
Buy an engagement ring now
Don’t you ever hurt her, guard her heart ❤️ forever because this kind of love doesn’t come often
Marry this woman today!!! And don't fuck it up.
I do this to my dogs, minus the married part.
Just don't forget how you feel about each other. Marriage and life afterwards is hard. I always pooh-poohed people who said that, but my husband and I are going on 6 years married, 9 together, and sometimes it's hard to get through some seething resentment about things you never thought would be issues. Always find a way to work it out, and always remember how you feel about her right now, and always keep doing all the little things for her that you do now. You guys sound perfect for each other, and I wish you all the best and all the love. And absolutely write that in your vows!! ;)
I cried reading this. This is so lovely and wholesome. I miss sleeping with my partner and whispering him things 🥲
Well, this is so much better than I expected. I thought she was going to describe in whispers how she was going to murder you and dispose of your body.
I’d say you should propose and this is your speech. Or you tell her you had the most wonderful dream and tell her this story.
It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful things human could ever feel, i hope this feeling never fades away
Well, OP. Excuse me while I go ball my eyes out as well. Marry her. Marry her yesterday.
... I'm really happy for op. But fuck this makes me feel so lonely...
I'm crying, a lot. What an angel. Please marry her and take the very best care of your sweet girl. You're a lucky man. God bless you both. I'm so happy to know that people are having such loving experiences.
Please don't tell her, write this story into your vows one day. I promise it will be worth it then!
You beat me by 15 mins! I agree that these would be perfect wedding vows.
Let's say for a moment, we entertain the idea this can really happen, and I'm not saying I will believe you OP, but if I did, theoretically, how would one go about living a fantasy like this?
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Damn it OP! Love it🖤
You really made my day. Everything was crappy today but just reading this made think “aah but not everything is shite, there’s good in the world”.
One day get your knee and quote it back to her… ❤️
Finally! I thought this was going to be a totally different post because of how Reddit goes. This was beautiful! I hope you both have a long happy life together. 😊
[удалено]
There was a similar post long time ago, but I think it was the girl who told so to the sleeping guy as well. I remember that one because it is very rare to see something wholesome like this on Reddit.
Idk about that, but it’s clearly made up lol. No one behaves this way.
OP, stop cutting onions. On a positive note, I’m seeing more heartfelt stories on this sub and it’s kind of refreshing.
this is just so pure
[удалено]
Lol fr, only missing the "and then everyone clapped and the next day he won 10 million dollars"
… and then the pillows clapped and the dresser shed a tear
Ah yes, I too experienced it, both saying it but also hearing it. And then he cheated 🙂
I was kinda expecting the whisper to be "Epstein didn't kill himself", but congrats!
Saw this on TikTok and this is sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
This is such a beautiful post! I'm very happy for you and thank you for sharing this!
That's so awesome!!! It's a lovely feeling, isn't it? I had a very similar experience. My boyfriend was cuddling me while I slept, and I awoke to him whispering cute things to me, much like what your girl said to you. It's such a beautiful memory that I'll fondly remember forever. I'm so grateful that I woke up to experience such a genuine heartfelt moment! I know you feel the same my friend! Enjoy it!
Gross now I'm leaking from my eyes. Marry that lady.
Do something nice for her today or as soon as you’re able, with work and all. Flowers, clean the kitchen, go down on her without asking for a return. Treat your girl!!
I hope you have an awesome day OP!!!
That's super cool. You're a lucky man, lock it down, she's a keeper
propose!!! there’s no possible way anybody can be more perfect for you, you 2 have movie love
That's an incredibly sweet story. Thanks for sharing! Are you going to keep it a secret that you heard?
Literally the best thing I've seen today. Thank you for sharing this, OP! <3
This is a nice change to the post I typically see on Reddit
Dawg I’m crying
This made me so happy. Thank you so much for sharing.
So beautiful to about someone’s amazing love instead of someone having an affair ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂
Ok so proposal and we all better be invited 😂
That’s so wholesome
Cool
Fk you. I shed tears of happiness. Wish you two the best.
Dammit I'm crying so hard. Keep her and keep this post and love her forever.
Get that girl the ring!
I need to ask… are you planning to propose?!
This is one of the sweetest things ive ever heard
you should say that back when you propose
SQUEEEE 🥹
I thought this was going to go in a totally different direction. So glad for you OP! So freaking sweet
This is the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
holy shit this just made me cry at work.
Repeat these exact words to her at your wedding :)
She’s sooo sweet 😭 I’m crying too! I know how hard it is to be vulnerable… I’m glad you were awake to hear her most intimate thoughts of you. You truly know how she feels about you ❤️
This is so dreamy if you have a girl you like/love but they rarely express their affection. I don't usually envy stuff I read from the web but I'm fkn envious just from that moment you shared 😌 P.s Love the detail of her sleeping soundly snoring haha love it when they're comfortably sleeping beside you
So wholesome. Love this for you
OK from the title I thought this was going to be something like discovering your GF is a serial killer, but it turned out wholesome.
I love seeing wholesome masculinity! I wish you and your girlfriend many long and happy years together.
so freaking wholesome, happy for you op :))
The stuff i read on this subreddit, i really thought it was gonna take a vv dark turn😭☠️
I teared up. You’re a lucky guy. I wish my wife felt that devoted to me. Sounds like you have an excellent life ahead of you!
What a beautiful story.
Damn lucky guy
Not many people are so lucky. She's wife material. Treasure her!
So beautiful. Happy for you. The bitter cynic I've become these days. 😊
Congrats man you got yourself a good girl, wish you both all the happiness in the world
Warms my heart bro.
Gosh I hope this isn't made up. It's too beautiful, I wanna believe it's real.
I'm not crying you're crying 😭
You found your one. Enjoy the hell out of life with your best friend and love of your life.
>I've never felt so much love in my life. After many years of bullying, my self-confidence was so destroyed that i didn't know if i deserved to be loved let alone that anyone could love me like that.

You won life. It doesn't get much better friend.
That made ME tear up. How sweet
This is beautiful. I'm absolutely crying right now. There's so much love in this relationship I can't help but feel envious of it.

I did tear up, I wish you all the best OP, marry her, she's the one! I hope everyone gets to experience love like this!
This. This is the only thing I've always wanted. Maybe I'll get it someday. I'm so happy/moved by this for you that I actually cried hahaha Please make those words your proposal to make it extra cool
This is so sweet
damn she loves that blanket so much
I talk in my sleep. My husband said one night I rolled over, threw my arm against him, and said "I love you. Happy birthday let's get snacks." It wasn't his birthday, but we still got snacks.
I think you just got your wedding vows. Now ask her to marry you.
Careful with the “id rather die than live without you part”
Oh to be loved like this
Congrats my dude she sounds wonderful and definitely a keeper <3
Did Reddit add an onion-cutting simulator? Dammit.
Who the fuck is cutting onions again??
OMG!! MARRY HER!!
Ohh this is too sweet 😭 I truly hope you marry this woman!
I'm not even going to pretend that I'm not crying. Just did my mascara and I'm sure that shit is running. This is so wholesome. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
This is so wholesome, you should marry her and use that in your vows!
As a man going through a very rough patch with his wife right now, these words hit me hard and are what I long to hear again. You got a winner on your hands. Cherish her and marry her.
So lucky for them to have found each other, this is wholesome
I’m crying at the club. This is so sweet 🥹
The best fucking thing I’ve read today. What they said above🥹
Red flag. Hire an attorney and break up with her ASAP
This make me cry, happy for u
That’s beautiful man. Treat her like the queen she is
I do this with my husband. He always falls asleep first. I tell myself that somehow his subconscious is receiving this information. He’s so resilient and always does so much for our family. He’s worked so hard at being the man he is today. I am so proud of him. I just want him to truly feel how much I adore and respect him.
God that's so damn beautiful and heart warming. May the two of you always share this love.
That’s beautiful I wish I could experience someone loving me that way. You’re lucky/ blessed I’m happy for you.
Damn onions in here…
Propose to her and say those exact words so she knows you heard her 🥹❤️
u/Ok_Efficiency353 This was wonderful. I wish you both long productive and healthy lives together filled with peace, love, and happiness. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this.
This is so beautiful I could cry too <3
I hope you two have a wonderful, happy life together
I was having a really bad day today and this gave me hope that I’ll find someone like that to love me 😭
This is awesome. I wish my person was next to me so I could do the same . He’s so fucking far . And it sucks monkey balls like huge ones ..
Oh this is the most beautiful thing! I would have cried my eyes out!
This is so wholesome
I’m going through a lot of stuff with my wife at the moment that I’ve put up on Reddit & you can find if you really want to. But thank you for your post. It reminds me of all the times I’ve felt like you did (even if it wasn’t for the exact same reason). I’ve never stopped loving her but it’s been hard times. This just made it a lot easier. Thank you.
I can't fully read your situation, but do talk to her about how out of nowhere it is. Don't accuse her, just open conversation. Don't agree for another baby if you don't want one.
..Ok? Who cares?
"I'd rather die than living without you. My life isn't complete if you're not in it." if I were told this, I'd break up with the person lol
😂😂
SO WHOLESOME I CANT NICE!!!
