He was the first non family member that saw me have a panic attack and not freak out.
That was a big thing for me.
Plus he literally is my best friend.
Orlova Maria
Best friends first, husband and wife second.
1.Shes been my best friend from the moment we became friends.
She accepts me for who I am and all my weirdness and we both embrace each others flaws.
Shes always inspired me to be a better person in a way no one else has.
We love each other more every day.
2.Because he makes me the best version of me.
We also have gone through so many hard times and we got through them stronger.
Only ever wanted him in every way since the day we met.
4.He was and is everything I ever wanted in a partner.
Just sitting in the same room with him lifts my spirits.
Being in his presence is like being in a warm, loving glow.
I have never had a desire to be with anyone else after him.
Hes the first and only.
5.We started dating in high school.
In 3 months we will celebrate 11 years married, but we have been together for 17 years.
I love our friendship.
He is my best friend.
We are VERY different people, and work hard to always take care of each other.
I love that I dont have any jealousy, or baby momma/daddy drama, or ex-gf/bf craziness.
Our bedroom is active and on fire (even with 2 kids).
I adore him and cant wait to reach my life goal of being little old people together.
And she thinks the same about me!
7.I met my husband in college and we just clicked right away.
It was an actual love at first sight situation.
From there, nothing came along to indicate we should break up.
Its kinda that simple.
If it aint broke, marry it.
I just got lucky right outta the gate.
Its like a retirement account.
We put the work in early, so its paying off more.
8.I am 50 and my wife is 49, we met when we were 10 and married at 18.
I can be a fairly high strung guy, Ive always had some form of anxiety.
The first time I met her I instantly noticed I wasnt jittery or anxious.
When she left the anxiety and jitters returned.
I was in 7th grade, sitting in math class and was having a horrible day.
In the midst of my constant frustration I look up and she in the hallway waving me out.
I was shocked and she said, I been waiting for the perfect time.
I dont know why but right now felt like the perfect time.
This May makes 9 years married.
Anyway, we just always clicked with each other and got along very well.
Instead of growing apart like most kids do, we grew together.
Hes a very kind man who has always been there for me.
Even as teenagers, we never had a reason to break up because we got along so well.
To this day, he is my very best friend.
I cant imagine anyone better than him.
10.She just… was.
I dont know how to explain it.
I liked her as a person, appreciated her kindness and wit and beauty, and had a crush.
She kissed me one night, and the world changed.
That was a bit over 17 years ago, and weve been married for the last 13.
Its a wonderful experience.
11.I guess you might say my wife was my first and only serious relationship.
By the time Id asked her out, Id already known her for 5 or 6 years.
I really fell for her after she accepted my faults.
I know Im not easy to be around.
Im impulsive toward things I want to do, Im arrogant in certain things.
She accepted all of that.
I guess thats why we are fit for each other.
Shes happy shes not at home, Im happy I can go adventure.
12.We can chill in silence together, doing our own things ands its comfortable.
13.Everything was just.. easy.
Ive never thought about breaking up or been curious about being with someone else.
We met as flatmates and we just clicked.
Married for three years, together for seven.
Ive never wanted anything more than him.
14.Shes a very good person.
My dad told me not to let her go.
Our friendship was pretty effortless.
She went to school in another state, we kept it going.
Perhaps if either of us had met someone, we would have naturally broken up, but we didnt.
We rejoined, then did the long distance thing again.
Then moved in together.
By the time we were married, wed been together for 7 years.
The strength of our bond grew over time.
15.We just got married in July but weve been together for 8 years all together.
We dated in high school but I broke up with him…. Twice.
He never lets me forget that either.
He makes me happy and thats what I wanted from a relationship.
16.Met at 15… married at 29…
We are best friends.
And I knew he would always love me and cherish me and treat me well.
Everything else is a bonus.
Extra bonus points for his hilarious sense of humor.
Life can suck but a well timed joke or a happy smile can make a world of difference.
Im pretty weird and shes perfectly fine with that.
Theres no one else Id want to do all of this with.
18.She makes up for my flaws.
I like to think I make up for hers.
We are both happy and I couldnt imagine my life without her.
I honestly just feel lucky that we met each other.
Even though it took a few years, marriage was something we always saw as the next step forward.
No regrets from me.
19.He was the first non family member that saw me have a panic attack and not freak out.
That was a big thing for me.
Plus he literally is my best friend.
Best friends first, husband and wife second.
20.She was the only person who I could tolerate talking to for more than 5 minutes.
Like I despise social interactions.
I dont hate peple.
Im just shy, introverted, and socially awkward.
And with her I dont feel that.
Im 30 when I married btw.
So its not like I was inexperienced in being alone.
We just fit together like bread and butter.
Anyway, great question!
22.We met online when we were 16 and 17.
He was in England and I was in Australia.
(Plus he knew he was going to be in big trouble for the dial-up bill!)
Because of time zones and him having limited access during the week we started sending each other daily e-mails.
It was exciting to wake up and know there would be an e-mail from him there.
With every bit of communication we had, I wanted more.
It seems like it would have been so unlikely, otherwise.
We have been together for about 21.5 years now and will have our 20th wedding anniversary in October.
Slowly we also realized that isnt really the reason were together and we really like each other.
Been together for 12 years now and we love each other like crazy.
24.First serious relationship, it felt right and why would I even want to change it?
25.For me, I had kind of chased another girl around for maybe a year or two.
He gave me his nachos because he was full.
My husband is a big guy who doesnt get full easily.
He is a sweet guy who didnt pressure me into a relationship at all.
We met in 2008 but didnt start officially dating until 2012.
His birthday is August 19th.
Which is my birthday.
We joke that I was literally made for him.
There are so many other little things but these stand out to me as special and unique.
27.The summer after 8th grade, a mutual friend knew him through church and told me Id like him.
He was 16 and I was 14.
He drove over the next day, and I knew the second I saw him I loved him.
Weve barely been apart since then.
We started actually dating, like for real, when I was 16 and he was 18.
He went away to college, and we both stayed in trouble for racking up long distance phone bills.
Wed talk until all my loose change was gone.
Id hang up and cry bc I missed him so much.
He stayed away at college for a year.
Came home, and started at local college bc he didnt want to leave me again.
We ended up going through college together.
Got out, bought and ran a business together.
Continued working side by side for the next decade.
We had a baby about 2 years after we married.
Weve now been married for 15 years, and together for 24 years.
Hes my best friend, and the love of my life.
Its always just been him.
People say when you know, you know.
And, I can definitely say I knew.
So I met my (now) husband at work.
Our first date lasted 36 hours.
We stayed up all night in my apartment after our first date watching comedy specials and snuggling.
My skittish cat was all over him too and I knew I was gonna keep this guy.
Ive had this weird thing my whole life where I just dont like to be touched or touch anyone.
My own mother can throw me into a full blown panic attack sometimes.
I have never had that reaction with my husband.
And then staying there until it closed while he geeked out and bought stuff.
He wasnt my first boyfriend, but I was his first girlfriend.
He surprised me with a ring.
Getting married next year!
Everyday after work was just hours of volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, basketball.
During the winter we would get season passes and hit the mountain for snowboarding 40-50x a season.
I blew my friends off and spent the entire day guiding her down the bunny slopes over and over.
Couldnt even talk to her because I didnt know sign language, but we didnt care.
Had the best time ever.
3 months later we said screw it and got engaged.
Two years later we were married.
The funny part was she turned me down the first few times I asked her out too!
But sometimes when you know, you just know.
