And I wanna be with her for the rest of my life. I couldn’t imagine this before when I was involved in other relationships.

Ana, I want us to grow old together. You will make the tea and dinner and I will wash the dishes (put them in the washing machine).

. . .

Ana and I had moved together in November 2020. I already told the story of how I packaged all my things and flew to Germany, so I won’t repeat myself.

We had a few small fights over the past year, but I feel that they were necessary. We both used them as opportunities to learn more about our partner and to measure his limits.

They weren’t intentional, but the outcome was quite good, the small quarrels helped us strengthen our relationship.

I know for sure that I love her with all my heart, but I don’t know exactly why I feel like that. If I were to think about it, I would provide the following reasons:

I love her smile

She has such a wonderful and innocent smile. Right now, she is working on her laptop and she is wearing pink trousers and a fluffy pink blouse. She has the image of a cute bunny.

Honestly, it warms my heart when I see her smiling and laughing. I would do anything just to see her like that.

Ana, please don’t take advantage of this! You already have a lot of pink pajamas and our wardrobe isn’t so big, after all.

I enjoy living together with her

We are partners, apartment colleagues, best friends, and lovers. While we are both grownups and have to manage the daily responsibilities, we don’t forget to be kids, when we have the time.

I love the way we “play house together” and how we manage to do the chores while having fun. We both think that adults should not forget they are grown-up children.

We make a really good team

When things get serious, we switch successfully to the grownups mode. We work together very well and make an awesome team.

We recently moved to another flat and we had to clean up and paint the walls of the old one. We did such an astonishing work together as if we were professionals. We managed to communicate well and to organize everything so we can respect the deadline.

Working with her is sometimes fun, also. The thing I like the most is that she provokes me to do more, even if I am exhausted. She is stubborn and ambitious and makes me push my limits a lot.

She is an emotional person

Another thing I love about her is the fact that she is soft and emotional, while I am a cynical dude learning how to be a dreamer.

She is the type that appreciates small things and this gives me a good feeling. I didn’t know I liked cats; I did not have any pets when I was living alone.

Now we have 3 cats that add color to our lives. I care for them, even though I am not really a cat person.

She is there for me whenever I have a bad moment

Didn’t I mention that we are best friends? BFFs.

Whenever I have a difficult day at the job or I feel down about something, she is always there for me, to cheer me up or to support me not to fall.

I am strong most of the time, but sometimes I get soft and emotional (I am not a robot). I appreciate the fact that she encourages me to talk about my feelings; she is a good listener. Also, she knows exactly what to tell me to boost my mood.

She has crazy ideas sometimes

I always do one of two things. I either embrace her craziness and discover ways to test her ideas or ask her a lot of questions that would help her figure out that the thing she wants is complete madness.

I never tell her if something is right or wrong; I usually tell her how I would manage the situation or what I think about that certain thing instead.

I love the fact that she has crazy ideas sometimes. She is stubborn, but also reasonable enough to let go of bad ideas.

If I am like a calm lake, she’s sometimes like a stormy ocean. But most of the time, our waters are calm.

Don’t get me wrong, I did not trick you at the beginning of the article.

I am 100% sure I don’t know why I love her. I provided some rational reasons why I love her, but there isn’t anything rational about love, don’t you think?
