What made you fall in love with your partner?

[WafflesOrIceCream]

Just that really...

For me it was the way my OH was there for me when I was having some problems.

What did it for you??

Similar...he appeared in my life after a terrible accident. I have had many surgeries since, and he is very supportive. We just click together, and there is no need to make an effort. It is just natural friendship evolving into love.

Amazing chemistry , mental connection and mind blowing sex

He felt like home. Can’t describe it in a less puke inducing way, he just did. Thankfully still does.

Initially the chemistry, I felt a literal gut punch the first time I saw him. Then it was the calmness I feel whenever he is around and the final nail was his reaction one day when I was upset and overwhelmed about something a bit daft. He just came over and gave me a hug and took me seriously

When he bought four new tyres for my old banger, we had only been on two dates and I drove on the second date. He never said a word but the next day turned up at my work and asked to borrow my car, came back a few hours later with new tyres and brake discs, said he could not live with himself if I had a accident and something had happened to me or the boys because apparently the car was dangerous , I knew then that he was a keeper.

I’ll have to name changes after this but…

We lived in a communal flat and there was a dispute over the washing up. One flat mate bagged it up in black bin bags and locked it in a cupboard. Now DH retrieved it and washed it all up without fuss (it wasn’t his or my washing up, belonged to another messy flat mate)

Sounds daft but I realised then he was a proper grown up.

Enjoyed reading these!😍

been together a short time, I was about to fly to the USA for a job interview. walked to the tube station with him to go to the airport & realised I'd forgotten my passport. He RAN through heavy rain to get it for me so I wouldn't miss the flight.

I was offered the job but turned it down to stay with him.

I ask myself that almost every day!

At the end of a night out with mutual friends where I had barely noticed him, he looked up and smiled when I said goodbye. He had such lovely blue eyes and a gorgeous smile and I went a bit wobbly. Having been sworn off men following my divorce this was a big moment for me and my gut instincts told me he was a good man. I still believe all of these statements to be true!

The way he smelt (so good!) when we were sitting together on a sofa at a friend's party following our first informal date. I knew he was something special!

I have to remind myself of this smell sometimes now, many many years down the line, when he stinks.

I've been in love three times.

The first time I fell in love because he was gorgeous and obsessed with me and being his girlfriend made me feel amazing.

The second time I fell in love because he was so in love with me and he was overall a pretty okay person.

The third time (current DP) he felt like home. He's got so many more flaws than the other two and we argue and he's a serious pain in the arse at times, but he feels like home.

Over time, I noticed I am my best self because of him, and vice versa. We have been through really hard times, but no one ever felt like leaving.

Two things. When he told me about his childhood cancer, what he'd been through and how his family had all pulled together. I realised how strong and brave he was and never let anything stop him. And how strong his family values were.

And how he could just read me like an open book. To this day I don't know how he does it as its not like other people could always understand me but he could. Even early on just one look and he knew and understood exactly how I felt. Never had to try and communicate with him it was just easy to understand each other. It just made it so comfortable.

It felt really comfortable being around him. I didn’t have to try , it didn’t feel like a strain. Just relaxed and right.

He was intelligent, funny, gentle and kind. He made me feel happy, relaxed, comfortable and secure. He still does, over thirty years later.

It was a slow burn for me. Didn't fancy him at all when we first met but he was strong (of mind), we could talk for hours and put the world to right, he was sensitive and kind.

It took a while but I totally fancy him now !

Basically he's not an arsehole 🤷‍♀️

Sounds simplistic but after a period of chaos, instability, fear and stress I was doing OK on my own, off men and determined to stay that way. And then there he was; kind, funny, easy company, undemanding and with this way about him that makes me feel comfortable and safe. I didn't mean to meet someone, but 11 years in and here we are!

Had what I thought was a one night stand. I woke up really sick. He got up, starts getting dressed, I'm busy thinking I'll never see him again now because my snotty nose has overshadowed the amazing sex of the night before. Then he says "I'll be back in 10, there's a chemist at the corner, I'll grab you some flu tablets while I get breakfast" and kind of tucks the duvet around me& kisses my forehead.
I couldn't even remember his name, but pretty sure I loved him from then.

His compassion and sense of humour. I love him even more today.

We worked together, I thought he was a massive flirt and he wasn’t my type, I wasn’t keen on him at all I’m fact but then I got incredibly unwell and required several operations and a extended period of time off and he was the only person from work who actually checked up and messaged me regularly to make sure I was doing ok and offered to help me bring me things whilst I was in hospital.
We have been married four years now and he’s the most caring man.

That first kiss, I felt my tummy literally turn over! It’s was like, what the hell just happened!

He was incredibly polite and appreciative to the serving staff in the restaurant where we had our first date. Then he tolerated the attentions of my 'quirky' (read: psychotic) large breed dog. That sealed the deal. Married 10 years now.

I like reading these I've been with DH nearly 30 yrs. Initially it was mindblowing sex but as we got to know each other it was the fact we always 'had each others back' . We have had several hospital stays/bereavements/ general shitty times but we just look out for and look after each other in general. We have both seen each other at our most vulnerable over the years and [sick bag] I love him more as time goes on. Bloody hell I promise I am not Barbara Cartland reincarnated!

I thought he was fit from the get go, and still fancy the pants off him.
Realised I loved him when we were sharing a tiny single bed together and I thought it was lovely that he was sprawled all over me in his sleep. I normally hate anyone being even near me whilst I'm sleeping.
He's still taking over the bed 6 years later.

He made me feel like I had come home. I met him one Saturday morning when I was out shopping, and by the end of a day together, I knew my left had changed forever. I was very happily single and living with my friends at the time - not looking for a man, let alone a husband.
