I never thought I would be here.

My husband is the greatest thing to have ever happened to me. I spent so much of my life feeling unlovable, and seeing toxic or failing relationships constantly. I didn’t think it would be possible to have a healthy, happy relationship. But here I am.

He (26) and I (22) got married in November, after becoming college sweethearts. Throughout our relationship, he saw me through my parents splitting up, the suicide of a close family member, and a couple of other things. His love and support for me never wavered. He is the sweetest, most pure, gentle soul I know. He’s never once even raised his voice at me. He has everlasting patience and compassion. He is intelligent and such a hard worker. I struggle with my mental health, and have since before we got together. He never questions the validity of anything I’m feeling, he only encouraged me to seek help from a professional (which I did).

We’ve had to move twice in the past 6 months we’ve been married, once for a career change and then again for me because we needed to be closer to my family while my youngest brother is going through chemotherapy. He hasn’t complained a single time. It hasn’t been easy for either of us, but we never take out stress on each other. We work through it together. He has been such an angel about everything. I’m tearing up just writing this because I can’t figure out what I did to deserve him. He is always full of little surprises, and comforting words. His presence is enough to calm me down and make me feel better. Sometimes we don’t even have to talk, he just holds me. I have no doubt that I met and married my soul mate. He makes me a better person. I’m currently sitting and watching him go fishing and my heart is so full of love. Later we’re going to play Super Smash Brothers where I think sometimes he lets me win on purpose because I’m not very good. He is the best.

I just wanted to share how thankful I am with all of you lovely people. Thank you.
