he's definitely - the sweetest boyfriend ever
So, today was a very long day for me. Work just seemed like it took forever. And it's not like I was miserable all day or had people yelling at me. In fact, I could possibly get 3 sales out of all the people I spoke with today. But anyway, it was a long day and I was so looking forward to coming home.
Andy and I were texting each other throughout the day and he told me that he wasn't having the best day either. Though, his included a hell of a lot of unnecessary drama from his roommates.
After I got over my initial disappointment that Andy didn't want to have our usual Thursday date night because he just needed an alone night, I decided I would go and get a pedicure. (It's been quite some time.) So, while I'm at the nail place, he gives me a call. We ended up talking for about a half hour. Well, he ended up talking for most of that time. He just let it all out. All the drama and all the stress and everything. Granted I would interject my support or my rationality, but I just let him talk. Then he wanted to get off the phone because he wanted to get some food and the lady was about to start my pedicure. So, we get off the phone saying that we'll talk tomorrow and to have a good night.
So, I'm sitting there enjoying my foot soak and all that when I get a text from Andy. Here's what it said:
"I just wanted you to know that it feels like you help give me the strength to deal with all the bad stuff that keeps happening to me. You are like some sort of an angel sometimes and you don't even know it. Thank you. No response necessary, just wanted you to know that you help by doing nothing at all."
Then there's me...sitting in the nail salon...feet in the tub...eyes tearing up. What you have to understand to make this make more sense is that Andy is learning how to be more communicative with me when it comes to us and the lovey-dovey stuff. Whereas I'm learning how to be more communicative with him when it comes to us and the frustration and confrontation stuff. Words can't explain what him saying something like that to me does to me.
Not to mention the fact that my main love language is "Words of Affirmation." It's incredible how much that book has brought us closer. We've learned how we can better love one another. I recommend that book (The Five Love Languages) to everyone.
Ok...that's all.
