when she put her shoulder on my shoulder on the way home from a party in the early morning. it just felt right.
We both feel emotionally close when we are being completely honest and sharing everything about the day. There have been a few times throughout our marriage that we have both felt incredibly close/intimate/connected, and they have been very powerful moments. What made it that way was the vulnerability and complete honesty about difficult subjects/topics.
when i was going through a work mess... she was really there for me
I'm glad you thought so babe. :) I love being here for you whenever I can.

Today, when he wrote me a poem.
I feel close when we are both totally relaxed and can share (without any sort of filter) what is on our minds.

About 3 minutes ago when we are on the phone.
Then, before that, all day long as I was thinking about her?
I guess I am just an emo-boy for feeling this way...

When we went to the firkin and crown and had one of our hypothetical discussions on life. The honesty felt right
This last weekend. We went out of town and I got to spend time with him, with no stress, just the two of us out of the work mindedness we're usually in. It was nice. It was probably one of the most romantic, best quality time I've ever spent with anyone. It really meant a lot to me.
I feel emotionally close when we are able to talk openly and honestly about hard topics. I feel close when he tells me about his work, his kids, his accomplishments, and his troubles. I also feel close when we can sit down together and clown around and laugh.
We have these deep discussions and we share our souls.
When we're on the phone and I'm freaking out about something and he'll stop me and say "hey, know what?..i love you!!" I love that he can calm me down and make me feel safe. I feel close when we dance and when we laugh together.
Anytime I'm with her and her presents gives me the warmest and butterflies
two weeks ago.
The time i told him about (he knows what i'm talking about) and the next night when i got upset about it he told me to think about when my family went to ceader pointe.
