AIBU to ask what your relationship is like?

[revertius]

I know I'm BU to compare my relationship to others but I'm genuinely curious here. I want to know if I expect to much. If my standards are too high.

So please tell me about your relationships.

How long have you been together?

Do you have date nights? If so, how often? Who instigates?

What little things do they do to show their love for you and what do you do to show them?

How do you split household tasks? Do they help or does it all fall to you? Do they begrudge helping?

What do you expect of them and what do they expect of you?

Can you talk about how you feel, any issues you have? Do they listen?

Do they surprise you? Good or bad?

Do they make you feel special? Loved? If so, how?

Do they make you feel attractive like they can't get enough of you or do you feel ignored?

@bandthenjust anyone who can bring out a slushy sentimental side must be pretty special

revertius i know right! Ive just re-read it and cringed a bit, but it's all true lmao

We met when I was an absolute mess. He 'took me under his wing' so to speak and I was shocked at how nice, gentle and caring a person he was. Opposite to me. I was loud, messy strong headed and disrespectful. Months went by and he slowly turned me into a nicer, softer person. He taught me how to love someone. How to be a good person.

After a year I cheated on him in a self sabotage, ruin my own life kind of way as a once off. We worked at it and he forgave me. It broke my heart as he wanted to stay together he loved me so much. We're together several years now, and although our relationship isn't and will never be perfect, whenever I doubt us I remember how it all started and why. When we fight it's torture. It rips at both of our hearts. But when it's good it's good and the bond we have is crazy. I love him like you'd love a child, and more. I feel this evergrowing love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We don't have sex that often but that's more to do with laziness, putting on weight. We have date nights very often tho. Twice a week. We cuddle a lot and have so many cute names for eachother we love being together all the time.
