crystle600188 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Me and my boyfriend Danny have been dating for 1 year and 8 months. I'm in New York and he's in Chicago. We see each other approximately once a year and we manage to be very happy together. Today as I was out to lunch with my father I receive a text message which states the following. "I love you baby, you're the prettiest thing in the world. My little baby cakes, I love you so much, you are my everything. Love, Danny" I started crying on the spot as I read it, its truly little things like these that give me hope <3 Does anyone else have little things that their SO does that keeps them going? Let me know
HeavenOrHell Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Sweet texts from him, lovely fb msgs, phone calls all make me feel loved and special.
creighton0123 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Heh. Yeah. I know what you mean. BF went a few cities away yesterday, so he was unreachable his morning/my evening. He got back at 10PM his time (I was asleep). When I woke up, I saw he had left me this on IM: "I had a fun day today, but I kept thinking how much I'd rather be there with you." On a random, random note, "Voices of a Distant Star" is soooooooo not a good movie to watch when you're in an LDR.
Author crystle600188 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 I tell my SO that I love him more than he loves me and he always goes "Naahhh". It's something I tease him about because he is stoic and is very reserved with his emotions, so he often seems indifferent or unhappy. I told him once that when we get married he will appear as the unhappiest groom. A part of me does realize he is crazy about me, and then a part of me really does believe I love him more. Last night, however, he did make me feel very loved. To give you an idea of how I am, I constantly fret about money. So I work, work, work, my SO says that I sometimes prioritize work before everything else. I am a workaholic in the making. Last night we were talking, and I was entertaining the idea of waiting to drive to Michigan until later in the week. My current plan is Tuesday, and I was thinking of moving it to Thursday afternoon so I could work all day Tues, Wed, half of Thursday, and have more money for the trip. We argued about it for a while before he said (in a shockingly passionate way) "I want to see you earlier! And if you do this it will hurt me!!!" I was surprised, because he is not someone who talks like that... and yes, it did make me feel like he loves me very much. Of course there are other positive things that shows he loves me: the things he says, him wanting to be in communication as much as we are, the fact that I seem to come first in every facet of his life and decisions he makes... Gosh, when I write it out all like that it helps make me realize he does love me as much as I love him! Honestly my SO is the same way. He is really really truly bad at showing his emotion 90% of the time, and so sometimes I feel like its too one sided and I get really upset. But whenever I DO start feeling like that he eventually gives me a glimpse of that romantic side he has buried deep deep deep deep down inside him and it makes me feel much better. When we are together however, he has no trouble showing his emotion, which is one of the reasons I miss being with him so much lol

aerogurl87 Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 For me, when my boyfriend randomly texts me and goes into detail about why he loves me or says something like "God I love you so much" out of the blue that always brings a smile to my face. So does having him refer to his stuff as ours and talk about the future in which we'll live together. Recently he's been very gung ho about talking to my mother about me moving to be with him as she's not too happy about it. I know he's kinda shy, so when he puts effort into wanting to talk to her about things like that and asks questions about my family and friends, it really makes me happy to be with him. I don't know, he's basically perfect so there are a ton of things he does that make me know this is all worth it.
folieadeux Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 The random texts and phone calls at all hours of the day/night really do it for me. It shows he cares and always makes the effort to keep in contact just as much (if not more!) than I do. Being on equal footing is HUGE for me so it's a relief to never have to question if he wants this just as much as I do.
