“He gave me this look, then looked to the backseat, then back to me.”

I was so excited to see how wholesome the stories were.

Here are some of them below:

1.

Bathroom interior with an open door, revealing a sink, a toilet, and a potted plant near a window. The scene is brightened by natural light from the window

He came over to visit, but unfortunately, I was stuck on the toilet with a UTI.

Honestly, I felt like I had to pee all day and just could not leave the bathroom.

Then he sat down, and we watchedHappy Feettogether while I was in the toilet the whole time.

A couple, one wearing glasses and a red cap, the other leaning over the car's console, share a close moment inside a car

I nearly cried."

When he looked at her and said, ‘Have I told you I love you today?’

She responded, ‘No, I don’t think so.’

A woman with curly hair in a striped dress playfully rides on a man's back. Both are smiling with arms outstretched, surrounded by festival lights at night

To which he said, ‘Oh, I will.

By the end of the day, I’ll let you know.’

Damn, it was simple but so cute.

A person gently pets a contented cat resting on their lap

(He later explained it was a twist on a movie quote but one he always really liked.)

I smiled and said, ‘No, not yet,’ and had tears in my eyes.

He was, of course, confused, and I explained what had me so taken aback.

A close-up of a bee collecting nectar from a yellow flower

I had never told him that story before.

“I remember sitting with him in the car.

A baby sleeps peacefully on a soft surface, wearing a simple white outfit

He was driving, and it was quiet.

“He was kind to a homeless man.

He knew his name, and the man knew his.

man with his arm around a woman

We will be married 20 years next week.

My husband rolled down his window and handed his to-go box out to him.

And I thought, twenty years later: Perfect.

A neatly made bed with beige sheets and pillows. A bedside table holds a glass of water, a candle, and a small bottle. A large leafy plant is placed next to the table

He is still perfect.”

“He took me to an outdoor concert when we hadn’t been dating long.

It was a hot day, and I was dehydrated, so I passed out.

He picked me up and carried me through the crowd to the first aid tent.

Five years later, he emigrated to another country for me, and we’re happily married.”

“He told me he loved me.

And I could feel it in my heart.

The way he looked at me so often.

How he touched me with love.

The way he smiled at me when I looked at him.

[We’ve been together for] 40 years.”

“He had a cork on a string tied up in a doorway as a toy for his cat.

That cat really loved him, and they are good judges of character.

I figured someone who treated his cat right would treat me right.

20 years on (and on cat number three), and I have been proven right every day.

Plus, he snogged like a king on our first date!”

Oh my god, I love him.'

I confessed my realization, and he said, ‘It’s about time!’

We’ve been together ever since.

That was August ‘99, and we got married in October ‘01.”

“The first time he met my family, we were at a lake house.

They got in my dress/bathing suit and were all in my dog’s fur.

I ran screaming into the house with my dog.

Both of us were covered in bees, and we brought dozens of bees into the house with us.

“We had been dating on and off for almost a year.

He loved the reading even though he’d never read a book by the author before.

I could tell he was so happy to be there.

(He’s gay, by the way).”

“We’ve now been together five years, two married, and have a baby on the way.

The author’s approval was the cherry on top.”

He told me not to worry and that we would figure it out.

“I’m kinda quirky.

I built a Chuck-e-Cheese-style ball pit in my apartment in college.

(It was in a closet under the stairs.)

During finals week, he insisted he drive me to one of my finals.

He said it would be late, and he didn’t want me waking in the dark, etc.

Finally, I agreed.

I took my final, walked out, and got into his car.

He gave me this look, then looked to the backseat, then back to me.

They were my Christmas gift.

We’ve been married for two years now, together for almost five.”

“He put his hand on my back when we were walking down the street.

Something about the way he touched me was unlike the touch of any other boyfriend before him.

I can’t really explain it.

But I knew I wanted to be with him forever when I saw him play with his children.

I said go for it; they’re your babies.

I knew he was the one to be the daddy to my children.

He’s only gotten sweeter and more loving as the years pass.”

15.And finally, “My moment came while I was staying over at his apartment.

Up until that point, he only had one pillow on his bed, and we would share it.

Also, the time that I accidentally farted horribly loud.

He lifted up his leg and let out a ‘courtesy fart’ so I wouldn’t feel bad.

It’s meant to be.”
