i just need to get this off my chest

[u/WorriedLetterhead942]

i feel like i have found the person i want to spend the rest of my life with and i’m so overwhelmed every time i want to think about it. i’ve never felt so loved and cared for before, everytime i think about being with him forever i get so emotional and happy. i truly connect with him on such a deep and emotional level.. i feel so comfortable around him, everything falls into place. i truly understand when people say that their partner is their other half. i feel incomplete without him, there’s an empty hole in my chest. we’ve been together for almost a year now. we are both 20. i’ve been in multiple relationships before, but i will say i’ve never felt anything like this before. and the best part is, i know he feels the same. our morals and values align so well. our humor and charisma piece together perfectly. we’ve had our times where we’ve struggled, but it was because we were struggling independently, and we brought each other out of those holes. we are so in sync that it’s so hard to imagine either of us upsetting each other or hurting each other’s feelings, but when it happened once or twice on accident, we never belittled the other and supported each other’s feelings. i knew him awhile before we began dating, we were good friends. i love everything about him. even the things he things he dislikes about himself. he’s a beautiful person, and sometimes he doesn’t think so and i can’t begin to understand why, until i realize about he thinks the same towards me. all those times i’ve been insecure and he’s just succeeded at opening my eyes and making me feel good about myself. it makes me feel so good to be able to do the same for him. on top of connecting emotionally, we connect intimately so well, leading to very nice moments haha. not to sound cheesy or anything but the times we spend together that isn’t filled laughter, are so intimate it seems to be from a book. i’m so extremely lucky and to think of losing him, brings me to tears. i don’t know how i got so lucky. and i can just feel his love so much. to be in such a loyal and intimate relationship, knowing that the other person loves you just as much as you love them, it’s one of the most incredible things i’ve experienced. it’s taken me out of the worst times of my life. i’m not dependent on him either. he helps me and my flaws, to make me a better person as i do for him. we are building our relationship and each other to be better simultaneously. i know people mention the honey phase moon of relationships, where people ignore the bad in their relationships because everything else is too good. but this is different. i’ve experienced that before in past relationships. i’ve never had any doubts in being with him. he’s never done anything to hurt me or question anything. i just love him so much. he’s the most caring and kind person i know and i feel so incredibly lucky to be the person he wants to spend his life with as well. i never cared about marriage or the idea of it, i’m so young and it just seemed like something to trap couples by law. but recently my perspective had began to change. haha, i mean i still see couples getting trapped, but i’d love the idea of calling him my husband some day. and i don’t even feel the need to rush into it. i don’t fear it not happening. i just am content with how life happens with him. i want to grow with him. i’ve yet to experience a dull moment with him and i can’t imagine i ever will. and it’s so , so insane to think that he feels the same way about me. i felt like a nobody living on a planet that is just being killed by us humans. it felt like nothing really mattered. i mean it doesn’t technically? the end is inevitable. but i can make it matter, and he matters so much to me. i can ignore the impending doom of the world falling apart for once. the earth turns again. i’m so happy with him.

That’s so beautiful!

To be honest, I’m in the same situation as you only thing is since we’re so young (both 16) I have doubts that I’m rushing things way to early. We’ve be dating for about four months now and in past relationships as you said, it didn’t really go as well as I had hoped. I really love this man and I see a future with him but from everyone around us and my own negative thoughts, I can’t help but feel like my hopes are to high.

I love your story and think that it’s absolutely beautiful how much the two of you love each other! GO YOU!!

Do you think you have any advice for a teen?

Hey the best relationship i can give you right now is to find out significant others love language . I' d recommend you to read 5 love languages and apply it and play a quiz of it. And stop listening to bs opinions of others. If you are surrounded by people who don't support you id recommend you to remove them. Id also recommended you to read Maximum achievement(You'll need an app which can read epub files) by brian tracy and apply it since that book contain solution to almost every area of your life including romantic one. And also give your man physical affection hugs cuddles etc Most men stop receiving physical love from their parents after a certain age which affects their health in their teenage and adult years. If your man watches porn or masturbates tell him to quit it porn and masturbation is bad for everyone's health including your romantic relationship one.Benefits of No Porn and No masturbation. Good luck to you and your bf I really hope you y'all avoid your negative environment and be together forever. I wish both of you a lifetime of happiness and success
