Eternal Sunshine Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I had a wonderful weekend (fri-sun) with my bf.... Again, for me it confirmed how natural and strong our connection is. I opened up to him more and he actually said "you know, you don't give yourself enough credit. You are much more normal than you think you are" We danced around the love word. He said things like "good morning my love" - the first time he actually used love....He also bought me plane tickets to go and spend the weekend with his family inter-state. Sex was incredible. OMG, the best we ever had! We did it in the sauna (perhaps not the best place but it was fun!!!) I felt good so I told him this : "You know - I told you that I almost love you. That wasn't true. I DO love you. I am sure now". He smiled so I continued "Please do not say it if you don't feel it. I can understand if you need more time..." He stopped me: "But I DO feel it. I love you too. I have loved you for a very long time, I was just afraid to say it first". Then we jumped up and down like kids and yelled "I love you so much!! We are in love!!" :love::bunny: He went a bit further and said: "Our relationship is the relationship I have been looking for all my life. You are THE ONE" ZOMG! I do know he is sincere as he has never been a sweet talker... For today I am happy! I hope I can keep the crazy in check
oaks Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 For today I am happy! Yay! Happy for you! Bunnies! I hope I can keep the crazy in check Haha! You'll be fine.
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 We had talked about "the crazy". He actually explained it like this: "You are terrified of getting hurt. Most people are to some degree. Because of your negative past experiences you are more afraid than most. That's really not crazy - it's just a self-protection mechanism. What I admire about you is your complete sincerity in this. Instead of putting on a mask, you told me how it is. It takes lot of guts to make yourself that vulnerable. It makes me respect you even more" He rationalized the fact that I am crazy! That's love.
Janesays Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Way to put yourself out there, ES. That took a lot of guts; much respect! I'm so glad to hear that you're happy, loved and well!
oaks Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 He rationalized the fact that I am crazy! That's love. I think you asked what commitment was recently, too...
RovingReporter Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 I'm eagerly awaiting your next thread wherein said boyfriend did not say "I love you" at the correct time.
Author Eternal Sunshine Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 I'm eagerly awaiting your next thread wherein said boyfriend did not say "I love you" at the correct time. He fell in love with me while I showed the absolute worst I have to offer (including dumping him once) - I think that we will be fine
oaks Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 He fell in love with me while I showed the absolute worst I have to offer (including dumping him once) - I think that we will be fine Print this out and stick somewhere you'll see it regularly to remind you!
