It doesn't mean - he's the one that I decided to marry because I didn't want to be alone and I'm going to walk out on him all the time and maybe divorce him.
LOL, well, ahmmm it's a case to case basis then huh. Don't get me wrong as far as I know, we genuinely, truly love each other, in fact we just said our 'love yous' when we talked on the phone minutes ago.

I am not the type to say it on the phone, especially when there are people around but I am 'forced' coz he complained I don't say love you back to him when we talk on the phone, ugh.

I do tell him I love him face to face when we are together though, especially in bed. I actually say it too much since I got back for some reason. But that's what I truly feel. So I just express it to him.

I knew after dating for about 3 months that he was a man I could respect, trust, and open my heart to. We married about 18 months later.

Three months in, when I stood in a hospital parking lot with a diagnosis of a breast tumor, and told the guy I'd just started seeing that it was perfectly understandable for him not to be up for bedside vigils and surgeries and potential treatment scenarios with somebody he'd only just stated to get to know well. I came home to my apartment and had a card waiting for me that he'd written, noting that he wasn't going anywhere, and that a life without me in it was unimagineable to him. He was there for surgery, biopsy, and dianosis of a benign tumor. We were married about a year later.

We have a bit of history from before we started dating, so I saw that he was continuously chasing the type of woman that would make him miserable, and even if I wasn't the right one for him, at the very least I could keep him distracted long enough to mature a little and figure out what he wanted before someone really did a number on him. We were young and stupid and I don't understand it now any more than I did then, but it was just an overwhelming sense of "He's a good one; don't let him get away". I'm not able to easily form emotional attachments with people, but for some reason I felt so safe with him and knew I could trust him. We were engaged for 3 years ... and we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary 2 days ago

The wedding ring is the property of the wife. It is considered a gift. It is your property.

Yap. Thanks. I knew it.

To stay on topic though, my husband 'had me' when he bought me an xbox, less than a month seeing each other. Well it's a used one but still, of all the guys I dated online, he was the only one that truly does things for me. Actually remember hugging him genuinely coz I was genuinely happy with his gesture. He bought it for me coz he said he fix xbox and my niece's xbox was broken so I ask him if he can fix it. He bought the xbox AND fix my niece's xbox as well. I remember when he gave it to me. He said, he really is that way, do things for people.

And well ya he is not lying because he, doing things for people like his bro backfired on me. I am back home now though.

After a few months when I got to know what a good person my wife was, I never had anyone like that before so I knew she was a keeper.
