Need cheering up !
DH is away with work, what makes you fall even more in love with your partner even after many years ?! Mine is the text when from him boasting that he is proud to have me as his DW and that he can't wait to get home to me (soppy I know)
Please entertain me ! I'm lonely ..... lol

It's lots of tiny little things really. We endeavour to make each other's lives easier and happier by doing tiny things that benefit the other, not for the praise of doing it but because it makes us happy making the other person happy.

We have an undercurrent of being aware that unlike the youthful I neeeed you, I can't live without you feelings that we actively chosen each other to share our lives with and with that comes a respect for each other because we know the other doesn't have to be there they want to.

We understand that we're lucky to have each other really and that shines through in out treatment of each other.

I definitely (and I think he) would be fine if the relationship broke down, upset in the beginning but ultimately I'd get on with life but that means that we're not stuck together (no matter how bad it gets)

I love him all the more because I know and he shows that he truly loves but more importantly likes and respects me.

When he left me a note in my hood on the first day back to work after Xmas telling me he would miss me. 33 years together btw!

I adore my husband and I love him utterly and completely and I'm incredibly happy at the thought of us seeing our lives out together.

However, he also annoys the fuck out of me and has some seriously weird habits that I would not tolerate in anyone else.

It's this tolerance that makes me realise how much I love him. I'd rather have him and his weirdness than be without him.

Oh these are brilliant!!! Agree on the sleeping- I bring him coffee every morning and love seeing him so at peace (when waking life is so stressful)

The way he tolerates me.

He is laid back and can let my weirdness go over his head, well most of the time.

When he knows I'm struggling with money cos I keep spending money on shit and always helps me out.

For me it’s times when we’re having a row or I’m exasperated with him, and we kiss or hug sort of without thinking because it’s just habitual and as soon as our bodies connect the disagreement just doesn’t seem important anymore. It’s like we fit together at an elemental level. I love the bones of him.
