My husband and I have been happily together 7 years, married 6 years. Today’s my birthday. Unfortunately he has had a high temperature for 2 days already so I thought I’d just spend the day at home, take care of him and have a cozy celebration at home. But this morning he insisted to go to the all the places I said I wanted to visit and the restaurants I wanted to try out. He spent the whole day out with me and I can’t appreciate him enough for it.

When we got home, I thought he’d just pass out. Instead, he prepared the cake, set up the room, looked at me in the eye and said I’ve made him the happiest man alive. He took out a ring and proposed. He said all these appreciative words that felt like such a blurr now because I couldn’t stop crying. He said he hasn’t proposed properly 6 years back (back then we just discussed and agreed on marriage, which was also how I preferred it) and he didn’t want me to miss out on anything.

Tbh I’ve never cared about proper proposals, rings and whatnot. But to have a person who cared for me like this, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed, almost in awe that I am so lucky. This guy has always put me first. 7-year itch my ass!!! I’ve loved him more every day!

  1. That was beautiful.

    I’d bet anything that the way you cared for him while he was sick is how he was able to bounce back so fast. And, us romantics don’t let small things like fevers ruin our plans.

    btw – there’s also no 17 year itch, or any years between

  2. So glad I ran into your post. I just joined this sub and first posts I saw were extremely depressing. I am an old married man who is also just so grateful for finding the girl I could be in love with forever. Married 50+ years and counting. ❤️😍
