1. His goofy playfulness, which usually only i get to see (to most he's a quiet, stoic guy), and sense of humor 2. He's honest, in general but also about our relationship. I never have to wonder where we stand (other guys I'd dated played games). 3. He's thoughtful and generous, always willing to help others 4. Unfailingly supportive of me, in both the good and the bad 5. He's fun to talk to and spend time with. Yesterday Iwas thinking how it sucks to be isolated in this pandemic, but I'm so glad I'm trapped with him.
1. I love that we can just talk about anything for hours. We often lose track of time just chatting about everything and anything. 2. He's extremely intelligent but is never cocky or arrogant about it 3. I know he always has my back, especially when it comes to my crazy family and has gone to bat for me countless times 4. He knows how to make me laugh and is never afraid or embarrassed to be ridiculous. 5. *TW LC*
He is such an amazing father and his patience knows no bounds. I absolutely adore watching him play with our son and their relationship is so special.
