Even after three months of dating, there were occasional awkward moments. I was working absurdly when I got a call that one of my closest friends had recently died in a car accident. I don’t really remember going there, but I still ended up at her place instead of my apartment. Half ugly crying, she opened the door to her new friend.
Instead of being properly unpleasant, she spent several hours listening to me cry.
My friend who died was the one who forced me to ask my current wife out for about six months. My friend was unaware of her influence. I have been married to my wife for eight years. © Reddit / d_b_cooper
The first time we were together he met my family at the lake house. I went out to walk my dog ​​and didn’t realize that me and my dog ​​had wandered into a huge colony of ground bees.
They all got into my dog’s fur and my dress and swimsuit. I took dozens of bees into the house with me when I ran in screaming with my dog, covered in bees.
While I was screaming and undressing, he pulled all the bees out of my dog’s fur and helped my mom remove the bees I brought home. Then he took my purse, which I had left beside the nest, and which was covered with so many bees that they could hardly see the cloth.
Even though it was one of the scariest experiences of my life so far, I still remember being amazed that someone I hadn’t dated in a long time would take the time to protect me from a swarm of bees.
their first trip together. When we stopped for lunch, I ordered several cheeseburgers. Without asking, she handed me my burger and unwrapped it while I drove.
She had another one ready as soon as she was done. That’s when it dawned on me – some individuals are genuinely polite and caring.
My chosen proctologist was my wife.
When I arrived for the first session, I remember feeling a little shy. In my opinion, she looked attractive and was about to explore my misbehaving anal region. I was red as a beet and told her I had to reschedule the meeting right away because I was feeling anxious.
I left after she smiled and said, “No problem.”
I went to the drugstore and got some creams because the discomfort and itching were too much to handle before I went home. I thought about her all the time.
I told her that I only wanted to invite her to dinner when I rescheduled the meeting and went to pay the expenses. I got a new proctologist after she said yes. Our marriage lasted sixteen years.
My friend and I went on a three-day road trip and I was miserable the whole time. I vividly remember going into my kitchen that day, opening the fridge for the thousandth time, and just standing there staring at it and thinking, “What is wrong with me?
God, I really adore him.”
When he got back from vacation around one in the morning, he called me, got right back in the car, and drove to my house.
After I told him what I realized, he exclaimed, “It’s about time!” and we’ve been dating ever since. That was August 1999 and October 2001 when we got married. © Reddit/Beardsforever He showed a homeless man kindness. Both the man and himself knew his name.
Next week will be 20 years since the wedding.
As we sat at a red light on the way home from dinner on Friday night, a homeless man who frequented the intersection did a little dance and gave us the peace sign.
When he rolled down the window, my husband gave him his box. In the carry-on box was a wonderful, unopened hamburger that he wanted to consume later. Twenty years later I thought, “Perfect.” He remains flawless.”
She tried to “jump” onto the bed but misjudged its elasticity, bounced off, and got stuck between the bed and the nightstand. Overturned, legs fluttering around.
She couldn’t free herself and for a good five minutes, I was laughing too hard to help her.
My parents weren’t really “lovey-dovey” and they fought a lot, so I didn’t have the ideal example of love growing up, but when I met my biological father at 16, he set the bar really high.
I remember him and his wife sitting on his back patio enjoying the evening and holding hands when he turned to her and said, “Have I told you I love you yet?” She said, “No, I don’t think so.” in response. To which he replied, “Oh, I will.”
I’ll keep you posted by the end of the day.” It was short, but quite adorable (he later clarified that it was a play on a movie he’d always loved). They often did little acts like that, and at the same time, I realized I wanted the same treatment.
As fate would have it, my current partner and I were watching a movie one day when he said, “Have I told you how much I love you yet?” “No, not yet,” I said with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
Naturally, he was confused, so I explained my surprising reaction.
That was a story I had never told him before. I discovered what I was looking for and knew at that moment that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else. © Reddit/Nicole Mitchell
fourth meeting. I am invited by her to her apartment. I’m amazed that her Star Wars Lego collection was bigger than mine when I first walked in. I knew it there and then.
I made a huge mistake that night when I left money for a really expensive Italian dinner.
I felt ashamed and horrified. All I wanted was to stop losing and go home.
Everything that could go wrong did and I was really trying to impress her.
To top it off, I was so shaken by everything that had gone wrong that I forgot where I parked my car.
I ran around this garage for about twenty minutes, level to level, hand in hand, and then I felt her look and annoyance on the back of my head. She was thinking silently, but I could feel it. “Well, this was the worst date I’ve ever been on. Finally, my embarrassment got the better of me and I turned around and stopped. Maybe I want to apologize sincerely – I’m not sure, I’m still not sure. That was the look I expected on her face.
Her mouth was full of a smile. She burst out laughing. It’s not aimed at me. However, with and without me. She almost made me laugh at this poor guy’s luck. A great sigh of relief brightened the terrible evening. We couldn’t stop giggling as we stood on the 2nd floor of the Newport in the Levee parking garage.
That was the exact moment I decided I wanted to marry her. Six years later we got married and have two children.
After about two months of dating, we reached the stage where we were just randomly stopping by each other’s places. He came to visit, but due to a urinary tract infection, I was confined to the toilet. To be honest, I felt like I had to use the bathroom all the time and I couldn’t stop.
I told him humiliatingly through the bathroom door and he said, “No problem, just give it a minute.” With her lids closed, she carefully opens the door, holding a laptop in one hand and a stool in the other.
We could see the laptop but not each other as he put his stool in my shower and the laptop on the sink across from me. The shower was separated from the toilet by a closet. Then he settled down and I spent the whole time on the potty. We watched Happy Feet together. I almost started crying. © Reddit / MiddleClassNoClass
We didn’t get along for long when he took me to an outdoor performance. I passed out because it was a hot day and I was dehydrated.
He picked me up and carried me through the crowd to the first aid tent. When I woke up with him still carrying me, I knew I had fallen in love with a Superman who would watch over me no matter what. Five years later we are happily married and he moved abroad to be with me.
