When was the last time you smiled because of your partners love?

Interesting title and thread, not sure if subconciously affected me today or not but today at lunch break I was smiling like crazy.

Let me elaborate... I don't remember the last time I smiled like that about my ex W, it has probably been a couple years since (though maybe it was in fact more recent, just overshadowed by her infidelity and the divorce). But I have had one relationship since - and it was sexual, very much so in fact, and even though it has ended I got enough good memories out of it that today I was beaming thinking of them.

I kind of realized that I've spent so much time focussed on the rejection of my ex W and my own low SE that I have had nothing but anxiety and it has shut me down. But today I decided to try just thinking of that really great time with my most recent ex GF in the front seat of my... err well nm not important to you, just me... and it was such a great feeling (I know it was "just sex" except to her and I it was a kind of love too) that I couldn't contain my pleasant feelings... and the result is that I was actually making the people I was around today happy too, I was charming today and even had a bunch of pretty women laughing (and the guys visibly jealous of me). It is the first time I've felt this way in quite a while, I have a lot of gratitude for the experience I got to share with her that made those memories.

It's been quite a while for me. She doesn't seem to care about my emotional needs anymore.

Like ten minutes ago. I'm sick as hell, my baby is with grandma and I've been in a hazy sleep for hours...I woke to three missed calls and a text saying "I love you sicky, keep sleeping and feel better."

I do!

Every day I smile because of something my H has said or done.

I just hope I make him smile as much as he makes me smile!

Wifey had the day off from work. I got a text around 10AM telling me that sleeping in is nice, but waking up in my arms is better.

Tonight my husband bought me my favorite candy bar, Lindt Intense Orange. He is in a deep depression and we are sexless so this was a surprise. A small step, but a step nonetheless!

I reacted like he gave me a diamond ring! Is my reaction pitiful?

not at all.
why would you question that?

This morning, before his alarm went off for work, he snuggled me and kissed my nose before getting up.

I love how affectionate he is.

No. It was very sweet of him and you appreciated it. That's a good thing

I couldn't even tell you. The last time he smiled was because of something he read on one of his many forums.

Its so refreshing to read about other people happy with their lover.

I smile all throughout the day because of my amazing husband. He makes it impossible for me not to fall more and more in love with him each passing day. I feel so fortunate and also love to make him smile myself. Being in-love (hence my name) is the ultimate feeling. There is such an overwhelming amount of happiness that you just cant really explain or put in to words without feeling like there is so much more to it than what you can ever say or express. Such a mystery, so intense, such ecstasy... I'm in-love with him... that's all.

This morning before he left to take the kids to their swim lessons.

Every morning he wakes up with a smile on his face saying good morning and hello. It makes me smile too.

This morning when I got the text "Hi my sexy motorcycle mama. I hope your day is going well." He is adorable.

Last night, Hubs made me a bed picnic of cheese, grapes and a bit of wine

We watched "I Hate Valentine's Day" and he said, "Remember that time when we broke up and we didn't talk for 5 days when we were dating?" (hahahah like I'd forget that hell! Breakup instigated by me because he was flip flopping between commitment and 'just dating'.) I said I did and he said, "I wanted to call you SO BAD but my stubborness wouldn't let me. I was sooo happy when you came in for an oil change, I almost humped your leg and left a puddle of pee on the floor."

That's my man.

It's not so much the romance of what he said

but the fact that this movie made him think of that and he had the nerve to open up and tell me.

And today, I took the kids to school....first time since surgery. He texted me to ask how it went and how I felt. His concern made me feel giddy.
