Think I’ve found the love of my life and I’m overwhelmed everyday

44 replies

I’m totally and utterly besotted and in love with my partner I met last autumn. I love him more than I thought it possible to love any man. He’s wonderful and kind and everyday I wake up feeling like I’ve just hit the jackpot. I can’t even imagine not being with him as the thought is unbearable. Though I’m not a teen and I know sometimes realistically things don’t last.

Please restrain me from expressing these things to him. I tell him all the time that I think he’s wonderful but sometimes I feel like I’m going to burst with sentiment and although he says similar things to me, I sense that most men don’t want to be overwhelmed with their partner’s emotions!

Letting it all out here instead

Maybe that's what is so appealing...
You know his smelly socks and skiddy pants aren't in your future...
He will be far far away.

That was a bit of a drip feed 😬

300 miles is... inconvenient :(

@Etsylicious I can work remotely. Would maybe have to travel once a week. I want to move with him he’s quite reserved and wouldn’t push me to do anything. I just don’t want to be without him

Have you discussed moving with him?

@Etsylicious it’s been on the cards since day one but because of covid it hasn’t been approved yet. So it’s a weird point as it’s not confirmed fully as to when, or if it will 100% happen. I want it to happen in a way as it’s what he wants and also if it doesn’t happen soon it will next year so may as well address it now. I don’t want to raise it until he’s signed on the dotted line for the job though?

Well @MadMadMadamMim speaks a lot of sense. Yes, by all means fall in love and enjoy the feeling but autumn was 8 months ago? That's a very, very short period of time and definitely the honeymoon phase of any relationship. Please try and align your head and your heart and if there are children on either side of the pairing cool right down when it comes to big decisions.

Hahaha, you 'know you will always love him...this is a thread I would love to see resurrected in 5/10 years time!

coachnhorses · 02/06/2021 09:09

Ah I remember that feeling

Enjoy it before it wears off

Haha yes probably won’t last with this particular feeling. I am sure I want to spend my life with him though...

I feel like this about our Shihtzu puppy, since he turned 6 months I'm head over heels in love with him 🤣

bluecarry · 02/06/2021 16:00

I feel like this with my DP. We have been together 2 years and it has changed yet, but granted that's still early days. Having been in two previous long term relationships (one of which I married) I knew from the off this time felt completely different. In fact it made me question whether I'd actually ever been in love or loved a partner before, as nothing felt comparable. Two years down the line obviously we know each other better and I see all his habits and flaws, so I'm not in that bubble where he appears literally perfect. However his flaws are ones I can happily live with and accept and I still get butterflies when I see him and a ridiculous warm feeling when we're together.

cookiecreampie · 02/06/2021 16:04

I'm the same with mine. We've been together for 5 years and married for one and have a child together. He also took on my own kids as his own. For me my feelings for him have only grown stronger and I find him more and more sexy and time goes by.

Naimee87 · 02/06/2021 16:26

Oh i hope this is me one day! Hopefully he'll want you to move too and you'll head of hand in hand into the sunset and have a nice life together!

Animum2 · 02/06/2021 17:43

Thats how i felt akmost immediately after i started dating my dh, he was just so perfect and I wasn't even looking to go out with anyone

We were friends 1st and as soon as we started going out, I was like yep definitely the one for me and told him as well, he felt the same about me :)

Animum2 · 02/06/2021 17:44

Will be 6 years together in November and 4 years Married September

Teessider · 02/06/2021 17:52

God it all sounds intense and exhausting to me. You come across like a teen mooning about tbh

It's nice that you like him a lot (understatement) but I really wouldn't express this on the way you seem to want to. He's just a man, regardless of being a lovely one

Just seem a bit weird to me

Chailatteplease · 02/06/2021 17:57

Don’t listen to the pessimists on here OP. I’m 5 years in and still head over heels, get giddy to see him etc. Read a few threads on here where people have still been like this after much longer. It’s just not the same for everyone.

You do need to tell him you want to go with him though.

You also need to update us when you do
