How I Know My Partner Truly Cares for Me

I used to think I was quite the catch. But don’t close this tab just yet; this isn’t a tale of a middle-aged woman lamenting her fading looks after having kids. The reason I mention my earlier attractiveness is to set the stage for a discussion about my partner and his unwavering character.

When we first met, it was clear that my partner was initially drawn to my appearance. After a mere ten minutes of conversation, he asked me out, completely unaware of who I really was. He didn’t know my hobbies, my quirks, or even my taste in music. He could have been inviting chaos into his life by choosing to pursue me, but all he probably saw was a cute face.

To be fair, I was just as superficial. I also agreed to go out with him after just a brief chat, without knowing anything about him either. He was a total stranger, and yet, the chemistry was undeniable.

Fast forward to today: twelve years later, we’re still together and happy, even if we’ve both lost some of that youthful glow. You might wonder, “How did you manage to stay together?” Well, it’s all thanks to my partner’s remarkable strength of character.

It didn’t take him long to discover the multitude of quirks that come with being in a relationship with me. Though he could have easily walked away, he chose to embrace my eccentricities. Here are a few examples of what he puts up with:

  1. Body Image Issues: Despite the years, I often struggle to see my worth. This leads to comically frustrating conversations.
    • Him: “You look stunning today.”
    • Me: “No, I don’t. My hair is greasy, and I think I have a corn flake in it.”
    • Him: “I think you look beautiful.”
    • Me: “You’re just saying that because you’re desperate.”
    • Five minutes later: Me (sobbing): “WHY AREN’T YOU ATTRACTED TO ME ANYMORE??” Him: *facepalm*
  2. The “No” Reflex: I tend to respond with “No” to almost every one of his requests, even though I usually relent quite easily.
    • Him: “Can I spend some money on my bike?”
    • Me: “No, we are broke!”
    • Him: “What if I sell some stuff?”
    • Me: “No. Let’s fix the toilet instead.”
    • Five minutes later: Him: “Can I please spend some money?”
    • Me: “Eh, fine.” Him: *facepalm*
  3. Drama Queen Behavior: I have a flair for the dramatic, especially when it comes to bugs.
    • Me: “AIEEEEEE!”
    • Him: “What is it?”
    • Me: “There’s a spider in the bathroom!”
    • Him: “Just finish what you’re doing and kill it.”
    • Me: “If I move, it might crawl up my… well, you get the idea.” Him: *facepalm*

These are just a few examples of my quirks, and let’s not even get started on my chronic indecisiveness or my complete lack of interest in fitness.

Ultimately, my partner’s patience and kindness prove he is truly a gem. What began as an attraction based on looks has blossomed into a deep love that endures through all my ups and downs. He’s in it for the long haul, all the way to the end, even if it involves the occasional spider drama.
