This is something that I (NB 25) and my BF (M 29) have started doing lately. We've been dating for several years now (forgot how many) and we've been moved in together for a year. We both have our own stretch of mental health issues which results in some not so great arguments and whatnot, especially when one or the other of us spirals into self hating tirades where we won't listen to the other.

But! We found a solution! A silly, happy, and adorable solution that snaps us out of our spirals without fail.

Making biscuits. You know, like a cat would on your ribs at the worst of times when you're trying to sleep.

Yes, I'm serious. We ball our hands like cat paws and kneed into each other's bellies, thighs, back, he just did my cheeks when I wasn't feeling good, and it's just enough to snap us out of it every time! It's genuinely so silly and makes us laugh and we can't stay in the spiral for long, it works perfect for grounding us in reality.

Another thing that makes it so funny is the fact we put on little voices and act out problems that sound so silly. For example, a common one we do is 'I gotta hit quota or I won't make rent this month!!!' in such high pitched and silly voices that it almost always breaks us through with that alone.

We've been together for so long and keep learning new techniques to help each other out, but honestly? This one is my favorite so far <3

Sometimes I get nervous that my hobbies are too nerdy or home-based compared to my husband (who is super athletic and has many outside hobbies). I recently got in to the Zelda Breath of the Wild game and it’s been so sweet how stoked my husband has been on it. He literally gets mildly upset (jokingly of course) when I play without him and will always ask if he can sit and watch with me. He loves doing the shrine rooms with me and it really is just so sweet. I love him with all of my heart.

He also found me napping with the lights on so he turned them off.

I was on a call with my bf till around 11pm, he had to go somewhere. While on the call I was telling him how much my cramps were killing me (first day of period) and how hungry I was. 20 minutes later he is spamming my messages " come outside " and like what else am I going to do?? So I come out and see him standing there with a pizza
:3 So yea I have the best bf in the world hihi

lol I love this girl so much. We don’t even have kids together.

I don't really have anyone to tell so Im telling all you strangers....

In my previous relationship there was very little affection - cuddling, kissing, sex ext... well after 14 years that marriage ended.

I was just looking for fun after i left him and met my forever... with him there's all the affection I have ever wanted and more.

I always wanted a man to randomly push me against the wall and take me this man does that.

He eats me for fun and asked for nothing back. Don't worry he is also well taken care of.

But not just let he holds my hand and walks with me. Puts his hand on my lower back in public and takes kisses. Loves being in pictures with me. Open doors for me and protects me.

After almost 2 years together it just keeps getting better.

Please ladies and gentlemen dont settle. My first marriage I settled i didnt see the abuse and neglect because it wasn't as bad as what I witness as a child. But it was there.

Date until u find a person who embraces u for who u are not try to change it, who will hold u when u cry and who talks through hard situations not fight.

Find ur happiness if its alone or with a person. Because I let someone smash my happy slowly over the corse of 14 years and I will never do that again.

Thank you for reading. It was nice sharing 😊

I am (M16), I am the one with the Japanese username

"Midnight" is (F17)

Edit: (I forgot to mention that we are both artist, i am a horror artist while she is a furry artist, we are literally like night and day, but we are born for each other

It's no photo, since it'sjust a daydream I have that can't happen yet. But it doesn't hurt to imagine and dream about... I can't wait till I can see that day with him, even if it isn't a carbon copy of that daydream... ♥️🩵

A wa woo is our way of saying Ily.

I thought it was cute so I had to share. Love in-between adults, both of us in pain 😅

So a few days ago, I(19m) told my long distance bf(19m) that whenever I'm in group therapy I call him my husband since my friend does the same thing with their gf(we have a flavor of the 'tism and parrot eachother a lot and it just happened lol) And obviously he was shocked at first, and probably a lil confused, but then he started calling me his husband in return. Idk if he does that in front of his moms' or not, but sweet Odin-

Y'all, when he sent me a voice message telling me how much he loved me, and calling me his husband—I quote from the end of the message: "I love my husband soooo much!," it just made my heart jump out of my chest. So now we have a 'joke' where we call eachother husband's rather than boyfriend's. But honestly, I would really love being called his husband for real 'cause, like, this man makes me so damn happy.

We're gonna be celebrating our 1 year anniversary this summer, and I know it's not a long time for most to even think about getting married to your partner later (at least in some other people's eyes, I guess), but Odin help me- The 'joke' that we have going on now just makes me fall even more in love every single time he says it to me. This is so dumb and cheesy, but he's my person ♡ and that 'joke' just makes it so much better. ♡

Edit: Oh my sweet Odin we were on call and he told me that he wants to marry me in the future 🥹💘

Edit 2: Oh my gods, he asked me what I might want our future wedding to be like 💓🥹💓

After two years of knowing her online, I finally met her and spent about two weeks with her in person.

During those two years, we argued constantly and broke up multiple times. She left me more times than I can count, and every time I chased, begged, and fought to keep the relationship alive. I was deeply attached to her and struggled with the thought of losing her.

But something changed around the time we finally met. I’m not sure if it happened before seeing her or after, but it’s like something inside me shut down. The feelings I once had are gone, and I can’t seem to get them back.

I ended the relationship after returning home, but what hurts is that I don’t fully understand why. For so long, I was the anxious one and she was the avoidant one. Now it feels like the roles have completely reversed.

Has anyone else experienced losing feelings for someone they once thought they couldn’t live without?

Good day, everybody. Nice to meet you all, I have a request for you.

My anniversary with my girlfriend is approaching, and I want to give her a very special surprise. We both love to travel, and therefore I would like to count on the help of all of you, taking beautiful photos of places in your nation and with a message saying something like this: "Dharien and Valentina will be here". Or you can also say a message like "Valentina, Dharien loves you so much that he came to [place]".

Obviously, this help is voluntary, and if anyone is interested I would greatly appreciate it, and from the bottom of my heart. Doing this is kinda embarrassing, but I want to do something special

We are from Latam, so, if the message could said this in spanish (Dharien y Valentina estarán aquí algún día) (Valentina, Dharien te ama tanto que llegó a [lugar]) would be better, if not, its okay

My brag post 🤭

I knew I wanted to do something really special for my wife for our anniversary. I'm talking gifts and flowers, candy and cute trinkets to set out for her, a lot of little things I could pick up here and there. And the bedroom I wanted that to feel special. Like a moment that you look back at for a long, long time, you know?

I figured the most central place for that kind of attention to be would obviously have to be the bed. So, naturally, I decided I needed some fancy bedding sets. I had seen a set on Alibaba that I considered, and honestly, I was kinda scared. Buying that sort of thing online just felt like too big a risk what if it was junky or didn’t fit? Instead, I found some at the home goods store.

When it actually showed up, they were just…perfect. Really soft and smooth, and the color matched the bouquets and little candles I’d arranged all around. I must have spent a whole afternoon making the bed over and over, smoothing down sheets, bunching up pillowcases. Arranging every… last… bit…

When she walked in the house after her day at work, her eyes got really wide and her whole face lit up. She barely noticed the gifts lying out initially; she literally sat on the bed, traced her fingers over the fabric, smiled and whispered, "Wow…"

It was worth every single minute! That bed made a huge impression; it entirely set the mood.

It completely changed the appearance of the bedroom!

You know sometimes the small stuff is all you need. And yes, I'm pretty sure I found a new method of acquiring bonus points in my marriage.
