I am so grateful to have found a person so caring. After 6 years I really think he is the love of my life.

Absolutely cliche post but I am so glad that this is the person I met almost 6 years ago.

To start from the beginning; I met him on a blind date.. With a twist! My sister and I were part of a Pokemon TCG group in our city and we had a sushi meet, my sister met someone (Ty) whom she thought was my type and set it up as a group date. In my sisters car, on the way to the restaurant, we picked him up (Ty) and one other (Cole)- Ty was cute but not exactly my type, Cole however, I instantly felt something. We didn't talk and I more so casually spoke to Ty but Cole and I had serious unsaid chemistry. He later admitted to feeling the same.

We get to the place and there are only 3 seats left after my sister and friends sit down - 2 beside eachother and 1 at the end of the table. I sat in 1 of the 2 seats and Cole bolted for the seat beside me unexpectedly and sat down, Ty did seem surprised but went to the end seat and spoke with his friends. Cole and I instantly hit it off when he started talking about interests; video games, horror buffs, same youtube subs, same books, anime, and of course cards -magic, pokemon, weiss etc.

We clicked and courted for a good while before becoming official. I still love him just as much if not more than when we met. He's been a source of light in my life.

On to the post; I have been dealing with large bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts and actions. He has known this since the beginning and has never dimmed the lights on his empathy and care towards me. He ALWAYS puts me first and it's crushing me with gratitude. I have had a rough last few years wherein he did not have a job or had part time and I was supporting him financially while we live together, he had never had a full time job since we've been together (no blame to him) but the stress of my work and taking care of our pets, and cleaning the home and cooking became too much this past year due to family and medical issues atop this. He finally managed to get a full time job and insisted on taking care of me, he begged me to quit my job to take time for myself so I could go back to school and finally graduate highschool and start my career. He will not let me get a part-time job as he wants me to relax a few months with my free time with the time between school- I told him I would be essentially a housewife for the time being as I hate sitting around doing nothing- he again said even if I wanted to be a lazy couch potato he wouldn't mind after the years of "horror" I had to endure and he felt horrible for not being able to support me.

I fucking love this man. I want to be with him the rest of my life, I have never met anyone this empathetic and caring to my needs and I love him greatly. I'm crying just posting this. He has helped my mental state so much and pushed me to improve in the most positive of ways.

Cole, you are the brightest part of my life and have lifted me so high from where I started. I am indebted to you and the love you give me. I will return the same love by being the best I can be and the best for us.
