There are so many reasons...

-He's one of the kindest and most empathetic people I've ever met. He'll change tires for strangers and buy homeless people food. He cried when my parent's dog got sick because he couldn't stand seeing my mom so sad. He tried to coax a big, scary snake out of the road because he was afraid it would get run over.

-He is incredibly open-minded. He came to the US for a 2 and a half month visit and I was worried about him getting homesick, not liking the food, weather, etc. He was up for anything and everything. He ate all sorts of new food and loved it. My family and I are huge football fans and he made a real attempt to learn the game. And he got along with EVERYONE. Family, friends, strangers, even my difficult, Alzheimer's-addled Grandma, even my super-duper Christian friend, even the ladies at the bar we hung out at when we road-tripped across the country and stopped in deeply conservative rural Tennessee ("Don't you dare let him get away," one of the ladies told me).

-In the same vein, he doesn't just believe everything he hears. He follows the news closely, reads a lot, and talks to many different people with many different backgrounds and perspectives. He makes a point to be well-educated and well-informed.

-Whether we are physically together or an ocean apart, he is the most supportive partner I could've asked for. A few weeks ago, I was complaining about not being able to get Microsoft Office on my Apple and he spent at least an hour searching online for advice. If he knows I have to get up early, he'll call me right before my alarm goes off so I can wake up to his voice instead of my alarm.

-He's a straight shooter. If something in our relationship is bothering him, he'll tell me right away and we'll talk it out. No yelling, no passive-aggressive cr@p, no mind games. I always know where I stand with him.

-He speaks eight languages with relative fluency. Now that's just hot!

There's more but this is long and gushy enough...

Hugs to you!!! I have similar experiences with my hubby :)

Because she's independent and stands on her own two feet. Because she's smart and funny and kind and wonderful. Because she always knows exactly what to say to make a bad day better. Because even on her worst days, when she thinks she's furious and horrible and I will get upset with her, she's still wonderful to me and always treats me with respect. Because I can't imagine a time I didn't know her, even though it's only been two years. Because she understands me in every way possible. Because she communicates the same way I do.

She makes me better. She makes me stronger. She makes me feel good. I've never had a relationship where someone made me feel like I was a better, smarter, more wonderful human being just because I am blessed with knowing this person.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

He is more than I ever wished for. He treats me like noone ever did and does. I wasn't looking for anything but I fell for him. We both like to draw, we like mangas, we like watching TVshows and movies together, we like asian food, we like staying home and be lazy,...

I love him for loving me and making me so special. I grow into an independant woman thanks to him. He changes me without even noticing and not intentionally. He makes me a better person, a happier person.

I love him for him...
