DarrenB Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 I've been with my boyfriend for over a year and he texts me "good morning, I love you" every single morning. He's only missed 3. Even when I spend the night he will text me that when he gets to work, because he wants me to know I'm the most important part of his day. After years of dating guys and playing games it's nice to always know. Every time I don't wear makeup (I wear at least basic makeup usually), he'll stop my face with his hands, ask me if I'm wearing makeup, and when I say no he says "you're the most beautiful girl in the world." Little inside jokes. When he walks up behind me and hugs me in public. When he pets my cat even though he's allergic because he knows how much I love the cat. When I think about it, I'm a lucky girl. You're both incredibly lucky. Compatibility is key. Love and cherish.
Gaeta Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 We have been together over 30 years, he is still my view of choice. I have a chronic illness and at times life is pretty crap, he gets my coat and boots, takes me outside and tells me look up, I do and he puts his arms around me while I star watch, something I love. He built me a garden shelter for when I cannot get out and about and knowing how I love pretty stuff, put fairy lights, a chandelier and set the table for me to have a midnight drink with the fire pit crackling he asked me to dance. No music, but at a certain point we both hummed our tune - Groovy Kind of Love and he tells me he loves me. He always picks me the first violets of spring, he has seen me at my best and my worse and still he finds me beautiful. When I had chemo and lost my hair, he came home with his shaved off complete with his eyebrows and moustache. I remember getting all dressed up in my finery and heels one night and coming downstairs and he gave me that look and told me I was the most beautiful sight he had seen. While in Afghan he arranged a pamper package to arrive every month, each had a personal letter, I thought he had lost the one's I had sent him. But recently came across a hug kitbag full of letters, cards, little keepsakes, even a pressed forget me not I gave him decades ago. he isn't a soppy man, but he loves me so much and I he, he completes me and I love the very bones of him. Such love everyone should have. Your husband a beautiful human being. 2
Larryville Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 For me it was when my SO and I would send text notes back and forth to each other while at work throughout the day about recipe items. Get off work meet go shopping and get ingredients, pick a wine go home and cook together, comparing notes. It was a cool engaging activity for the both of us. We were both in to it and into each other while doing it, was always romantic. I don’t even like cooking, but I certainly did with her, always fun, great memory. 2

Toodaloo Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Years ago I was seeing a guy and each morning I would wake up and he would be wrapped around me holding me tight... When he could feel me moving he would kiss which ever bit of me was closest, let go and fall back to sleep. I always woke up feeling completely safe and calm when he was there. I later learnt that I had been having horrific nightmares every night for months and I would often thrash about screaming, crying and yelling so he would wrap himself around me and just hold me and keep me safe from hurting myself. I remember some of those dreams even now but I didn't realise that I had been reacting so badly to them. There was I thinking he was just a clutz a bumping himself with all the bruises... Never once did he complain. We may not have been a match in the end but I have always been grateful to him for just simply being there. 3
