Trialbyfire Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Anyone else here, who's happy in their relationship or marriage, who loves, trusts and respects their partner? Who knows that their partner reciprocates all of this and is committed enough not to cheat? Count me in as one of these people! Link to post Share on other sites

Author Trialbyfire Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Absolutely so :love::love: Even on our worst day I couldn't be happier or more in love I love the laugh lines on his face, when he smiles or laughs. The ends of his eyes crinkle up in such a cute way. Name one silly thing you adore about your man. Link to post Share on other sites

allina Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Name one silly thing you adore about your man. I love how he gets lost in his own little world when he's sitting around playing his guitar, I also love how he likes putting his freezing cold feet on me and laughs when it makes me squeal, how he makes sure that there is always yummy vegetarian food for me when we go out with friends/coworkers. I could really name a million things. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Anyone else here, who's happy in their relationship or marriage, who loves, trusts and respects their partner? Who knows that their partner reciprocates all of this and is committed enough not to cheat? Count me in as one of these people! Count me in too, 100%!!! Name one silly thing you adore about your man. I love how he cannot help but perversely grab my butt when I walk by him (in private), or how he records shows on his DVR that he knows I like but he hates, or how childlike happiness shines from his face when he's having a heartfelt laugh, or how he greets me at the door at the end of a long day with a glass of wine... Or how he admitted yesterday that he once sprayed my perfume on my pillow on his bed so he could smell me when I wasn't there. Like Allina, I really could go on about a million things. GREAT thread, TBF. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Trialbyfire Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 allina, freezing cold feet? You must love him! The vegetarian food thing is really sweet. Thanks SG. The perfume thing is adorable. If you think about it, it's all the little ways they show how much they care. Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Or how he admitted yesterday that he once sprayed my perfume on my pillow on his bed so he could smell me when I wasn't there. oh, that boy is HOOKED on you, baby! happy? I'd have to say yes, even though we have our moments where we'd like to kill each other. For me, it's that he trusts me like no other. I've got a hell of a lot more freedom than I hear friends talk about ... if I want to go hang out with friends from college (and some of these are married men), he trusts me. And then offers to give me mad money to drive out to see said friends! I love how he can make me laugh, which never has been an easy thing with boyfriends/love interests. Best one is Piggy Face, followed by Winky Eye. Too damned silly coming from an old redneck, but definitely priceless. my sister and I were talking the other day: I just had gastric surgery to help with weight loss, she did the same procedure 6 months ago and she said that her doctor told her and her husband that some marriages don't survive the surgery because the patient feels changes are needed in EVERY area. And I told her that I just didn't get that. I invested a lot of time and effort trying to get on this man's radar, then to build a very companionable, good relationship with him, why the heck would I want to dump him and have to start over with some unknown?

Author Trialbyfire Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 quankanne, that trust in a relationship is incredibly important. It's worth its weight in gold. Wow, gastric surgery! Now that's dedication to getting your body to a more healthy condition. Link to post Share on other sites
Jaytb Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's worth its weight in gold. More like its weight in Rhodium, factorial. (yeah, that's a really big number. Like 3956 decimal places big. Finally, my factorial calculator came in handy ). Oh and put me down as happy in my relationship. Really happy actually. Link to post Share on other sites

The way she is absolutely adorable when saying simple everyday things. Also she is very kind, she is always very considerate. She would always do anything to make me happy. Good thing I would do anything to make her happy. That way neither of us are exploitative of the other's good nature. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Despite my deep cynicism about other people's relationships I am very happy in mine. I know I have a great woman in my life. Link to post Share on other sites
Lauriebell82 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My mom's health is not good and she is having surgery tommorrow. So last night he sat down and talked with me for 2 hours listening and comforting me. It makes me happy knowing that he loves me that much that he is willing to help me and support me in any way he can. So, yeah, I'm very very happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Rollercoasterr Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Completely happy here. I actually feel like a freak on some of these forums because I dont have ANY of the mistrust problems, or communication problems. Even if we are 1000 miles away from each other it's peachy and perfect. :love: Link to post Share on other sites
melodymatters Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey TBF, glad to hear things are still going so swimmingly. One thing I love about my guy is how kind he is to my TEENAGE daughter, he's never lost his temper once and most men would have killed the child ! He's sweet and kind to the pets, kisses my old dachshund and lets her sleep in our bed. Respectful to my family and friends. Also he is the soul of patience when i'm having one of my "100% Sicilian, actress, NY'er, Biotch" attacks ! He either calmly talks me down, or can actually make me laugh at myself ! And he believes marriage is forvever and you work things out and he is totally 100% committed to making us work, even when I have my silly doubts ! ( Note- This is someone I wouldn't have even considered dating due to age difference the other 364 days of the year : he caught me at a weak moment, so for those of you reading this who haven't found a great love, BE OPEN !!!!!)

GorillaTheater Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think I relate most to Quankanne's post, it's probably a function of being married for a long time. Yes, generally speaking we are happy. And we're still learning about each other (which I guess is kind of amazing after all this time). In late December and January we hit kind of a rough patch (which is when I found this place), but the problems we were dealing with boiled down to poor communication, and I think we've worked through it. Yes, we're STILL learning how to talk to each other. But I'm 100% certain that both of us are 100% committed to making our marriage work. I love the way she crinkles up her nose. I love the sounds she makes when she's emphasizing a point. I love the way that she finds the things I say funny even if few other people would. And I love her wit. I love the way she laughingly indulges me and my zombie movies even though she thinks they're the stupidist things on earth. I love the fact that she's the best mom on the planet and brings out the best in me. I love the way she looks and smells and feels. Sorry, probably getting carried away.

Juniper22 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I've always found that most people are really the most "HAPPY" in the beginning stages of a relationship. Not really just the first few weeks or anything, it can go beyond that. The key is continuing to be that way long after the newness of a relationship has worn off. I admire people who are in relationships like that. I think alot of it has to do with the two people involved being matched right and being on the same page as far as what they really want from the relationship and applying that to the relationship. For me I haven't found that yet. I hope too one day. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Girl Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I simply adore the man. And I feel adored all the time as well. Which in itself is remarkable. A few of the things I love - When he is in a bad mood if I can genuinely laugh at anything he ALWAYS jumps in. Just hearing me laugh lightens his heart. When he says in his thick islander accent, "you have to remember honey, I am a sensitive skin" it just melts me. How damn cute is that?!! Another one of those is how if I ask him, "guess what" he replies, "guess what?" instead of just "what?" and I NEVER correct him because I love it so damn much. and how when I ballistic about something he not only listens intently to the words that I am saying but tries to understand what is behind all of it. He is simply amazing. Although I am demanding and headstrong he takes everything in stride and lives by the motto: If you keep the mom happy, everyone's happy. If mom isn't happy no one is happy. He works hard at making sure I am happy. All of that may not translate. But yes TBF. I am one of those truly happy people. Link to post Share on other sites
