I’ve been going through a rough time lately. My fiancé has been on the receiving end of a lot of my frustrations and confusion and i’ve snapped at him far too much, which isn’t something i’m proud of. Anyway, today we had a big row about well, nothing really. It was my fault, I was very stubborn and I really took a lot out on him. I got into bed and just lay there crying. An hour later, despite how foul I was to him, he came in with two very impressive hot chocolates (he makes the best in the world, and he knows how I absolutely love them) and a plate of chocolate cake. He slid into bed with me, kissed me on the forehead and treated me like normal. I was blown away by this, he didn’t make me say sorry, he didn’t get angry… he just treated me with a gentle kindness. I asked him why he was being so nice and he simply said ‘because I love you’.
This, this is why I am marrying him. Because he loves me when i’m at my worst and he’s there, being a friend when I most need one, regardless of whether I deserve it or not.
