I don't stop to realize what he has to deal with emotionally on a daily basis because of what I do for a living. Most men would not be as secure about himself or love me as much as he does with what I do. I need to stop and look at things from his point of view sometimes and not just assume he will always be there for me when I come home. I love you Bobby and you are stronger physically and definitely stronger emotionally than anyone I've ever met. thank you.


How much he trys to help me out. He would do anything for me if I would just ask him instead of trying to do it all myself.


Her love for me and her desire to please me at all cost.
it's vey hard to let my guard down and I know that this is causing her pain because she feels that I'm unable to feel her love.
yes I've made it a point to let me guard down so that I can feel the love she has for me.
she's a very special lady in so many ways and one day I hope she realizes how much she means to me.


How much he works and basically supports us.. Wish I wasn't such a waste of space ...gonna try n do more if I can get rid of this depression. He deserves better.


His compassion and kindness towards me...I should rarely be in a bad mood around him because he doesn't deserve that. Even though no one is perfect.


her level of tolerance for me and my stupid crazy... i don't take it for granted, but sometimes i don't honor it as much as i should...


How much he wants to spend time with me.


His love for learning. I think it would be a fun and healthy thing if we actively explored, discovered and learned together more. I remember a time you said you've gotten dumber since being in this relationship. That has stuck with me and really bothered me. I want to bring out the best in eachother.
Unfortunately in relationships it gets easy to take the other person for granted. It's something that really sucks and takes an active approach to keeping the relationship alive and well. I want you to know that although sometimes, especially when things are bad, I may take things for granted, I remind myself often of your great qualities that I do love you for. They make you stand out above everyone else ever has or could.

I've thought a lot about how sad it is that we've built up so much resentment and bad feelings between us. I remember how you made me feel just talking to you on the phone, visiting with you for a couple days at a time then longing for you with every fiber of my being. I want us to work heavily towards replacing the negative feelings with good ones again. I'm sorry for my impatience sometimes, and my impulsive personality at times. I've done things in the heat of the moment that I thought were right at the time that I've grown to greatly regret soon after. I'm a very passionate person, as you know, and I've yet to get good at channeling that passion into things that will improve my life and be positive acts of growth. I've never allowed myself to dive into my potential, always giving up when things get boring or too hard. It's disappointing when I think about it. You, when we first met, brought something out in me I've never felt.

A confidence, a strong belief in myself and my capabilities, a genuine excitement for life. You seriously have no idea how much that meant and means to me. I don't want to be competitors. I'm sorry things started getting that way. I miss our connection we had when we talked about building together and being excited for our future, together. I know fixing things will take time, and I want to do it the right way. I will never be perfect but I will always strive to be as perfect as you think I am in your dreams. <3

Damn. I don't know what to say to that. That's deep. I love you and am glad we have each other and hope we can start complimenting each other more with our differences.

I don't feel like I take her for granted at all but maybe I don't express my appreciation enough


His patience, his kindness, and how he can hear it from me nonstop and just take it. I know I can go on and on bout something but he sticks it out with me everyday and I'm really blessed to have him. I need to quit taking advantage of him


His ability to show love and empathy for me no matter what's going on.


That she is so loving and loyal
