Re: QOTD
He's my best friend. He's the one I want to tell about all the little details of my day. He's the one who's opinion I really want on something that's troubling me. He's the one I laugh the most with. He's the one I want to raise children and build a family with. He's the one I want to sit on a front porch with and watch storms come in or kids playing in the neighborhood. He's the one I lean on for support when I think I'm at my breaking point, and the one who helps me realize that I can go just a little further to get the job done. He's the one who's arms I want wrapped around me as a fall asleep. He's all that to me, and more.
I can't imagine my life without him, and honestly, I don't really want to.

my read shelf:
He just gets me, even my wacky type A+ personality doesn't bother him and he just knows that's how I am.
Plus he makes me feel safe, which is something I've never had with any other guys before him. And it's safe beyond just physical, but like he'll always take care of me and one day our family type thing.

Here's the two main reasons I knew from the time we got together that he was the keeper for me... and remember... I didn't start dating him until I was 35, so i had, um, decades of dating experience prior to this
, so I knew what worked and what didn't for me.
1) From the very first time we spent the night together, I was able to get to sleep quickly and stay asleep the whole night. This may sound weird, but I was always very selfconscious when I was literally trying to sleep with someone, or I had too much in my head going on to relax enough to let that guard down. I noticed it from the beginning, and never ever had a problem with it after that. And I knew I had never been that successful at that before.
2) He has always made me feel completely comfortable to be a total goofball. I never had to be on my best behavior or most professional or try to be the best version of me or try to be impressive (or at the very least, not show my goofball side, which i don't get very comfortable with many men to be). And one of the reasons this was particularly unusual is because I met him through work, so he totally knew my "polished/corporate" side first.
And, sure, he's freaking hot, too. But that wasn't why the relationship worked. Just icing on the cake :-)
I needed this laugh.
You people are too deep for a Monday dammit.
Glad I could help. I'd be willing to ship him up your way for a few weeks to act as your man slave to fetch you things up and down the steps to avoid any future slips. He's not good with too much more around the house but he could always have your television turned on for you. He's good at that.
Will you take mine for a few days??
Does he cook and clean? If so, I'd trade forever.
ETA: NO, I'm not Mystery2....I love my husband very much and we have a great marriage. That doesn't mean he doesn't boil my blood sometimes. And I wouldn't trade him for anything longer than a week....maybe two.
He does not cook well at all but he does clean a lot. He does our bathroom and dishes regularly. He also does his own laundry all at one time never leaving any stray clothing around.
He will do yard work but that comes with a price tag of whining and 8itching about 50% of the time.
The cooking is not as important to me as the cleaning, so we're good there.
Les is the same way with the yard work. He spent about 4 hours Saturday mowing and raking up the left-over leaves from fall. That's when his PMS started.
#1 is that he's a goofball, and I need that in my life.
I'd say that the other two reasons (other than the fact that I lurve him) are:
I trust him 100%
He's a good teammate
Besides the sex? I feel safe when I'm with him and I trust him completely. I've never trusted anyone like I do him. He's also super funny and I don't have to be anyone but me when I'm with him.
Welcome to the dark side
One of the reasons is that he's really smart in the ways that I'm not but he never makes me feel dumb (or anyone for that matter). Okay, and another reason is that he's really patient - I have about no patience and I can be a nag and he takes it all in stride.

I just LOL about that. I'm the same way.

I feel strongly that my dad sent him to me. He knew that I needed a new man in my life. Drew is so much like my dad that it's scary sometimes.
I'm not the mystery person either, but I really feel like Drew has changed since we first started dating. I miss that whole wooing stage. He was such a different person back then. I hate that he's become so lax in the relationship. He is so supportive in everything that we've gone through that I can't imagine being with anybody else, but I miss his desire for me.

He tells me no. And no matter how much bullshit I throw out to get what I want, he just calls me out on it, and still says no. I love it! He's the only person that I don't mind hearing "no" from.
