okay so i've had a string of bad relationships-- cheated on, mistreated, etc etc. the usual stuff someone that's got a lot of baggage has to go through while they find themself. most of my relationships have been very intense, bc my brain's just wired for that lmao. long story short, it sucked and i came out more or less as "broken" as i went in.

and now im sitting here on my bed, with my kitten sleeping in front of my keyboard and snoring, with my amazing girlfriend and my best friend out in the lounge hanging out with my nephew? my gf and i have a wonderful boyfriend that unfortunately lives in another country, but is going to come and visit us some time soon? there is so much love in my life from my partners and i never, thought i'd feel like this? that i would get to experience this?

things arent going too great atm but everything is so much easier to deal with, with my loves supporting me through it all? and that's just. amazing. my partners are amazing. i just needed to get it out somewhere. they're so wonderful.

they're also both on subeta bc i asked them to sign up but i dont want to ping them in case they'd rather i not lmao

who wants to tell me about the lovely stories they have about the people they love? not even partners necessarily! just. people you really care about.

man an excuse to gush about my boyfriend??? sign me up

my boyfriend and I have been going out about 2 years now. Before him I had never been asked out on a date seriously before, and thus never been in a relationship. I was 19 at the time and kinda given up the idea of being in a relationship, which part of me hated because I'm definitely a romantic.

I got to know him because he was in four out of five of my classes, and for about a month we got to know each other and he came over to study Spanish once and it was all very nice and platonic, until I realized that I had a crush on him. I was ready to take my crush to the grave, and never act on it. However, on a Sunday night he asked me if we had school the next day. Since it was a long weekend, I said no and he replied 'aw that means i won't be able to see you'.

Of course, I only had people fake flirt/ ask me out before, so I was guarded, especially since I was interested in him. I asked if he was serious, and he responded "I don't know what do you think?" which is also kinda a guarded answer, so I told him that people have asked me out as a joke before and that I would like a straight answer. He said that he thought I was cute and interesting and he asked if I was interested in him, in which I replied "I don't know what do you think?"

Long story short we started dating.

He's a great guy; a little awkward, curly hair, a roman nose, likes to dress-up and wear patterned dress shirts and ties (to the point that I'm still shocked to see him in a t-shirt). He makes me feel better when I'm sad and having a bad day or I'm sick, and doesn't like waking me up if I'm taking a nap when he gets to my house (which I've told him before to wake me up anyway)

As for a recent story, few nights ago I woke up from a bad nightmare that had me crying and he held me and kissed my forehead until I calmed down and got me water and talked through it to rationalize it, despite having to wake up for work early.

Anyway he's great and I'll stop typing now

My primary partner is incredible. He didn't have to come back into my life after I broke his heart in high school. But the relationship I was in (the former username lol) ended up ending, and he was still there with open arms, taking in my wounded soul and making me feel better.

I have PTSD from my ex, and probably bad college experience while I was with him (I used to be on here back then and I had a really bad argument on here once that made me so embarrassed that I tried to deactivate the account and it didn't, I just didn't have my pets). So he's such a trooper for all my rough days, even if he can't be there. I'm also autistic, so he's really cute about how I talk constantly, he figures it's a place I can process whatever I need to when I spam him with messages at work xD

I just had to make a big personal decision, basically cutting some toxic fat from my life. He's been so amazing about it. I finally got my own apartment a few months ago, and he stayed over both nights the weekend before I went through with it.

He got me hooked on Animal Crossing New Leaf, so we both play Pocket Camp. And when we were on an errand at Costco, we got food at the food court and played Pocket Camp on our phones. I excitedly said "YES I got a Perfect Pear!" and before I could even finish the word "Pear", he said "US."

Ugh he's amazing. I love my cuddly gentle giant. I totally upgraded when I got him back.

I'm not dating anyone, but it's about the pic on my profile which I'm super thankful for because ever since it's been my Facebook profile picture, no weirdo creep tries to slide into my dm's (except one idiot who has no comprehension of boundries, but he's blocked everywhere) and I'm super thankful for it.. plus, I just love how he kept giving me hugs during that time the pic was taken and the first day of A-Kon when I first met him and it felt very familiar to me even though I've just met him (it's literally like a dream come true omf; i could go into detail about my lucid dreams but it's too dang long lmao)

My roommate is one of the most incredible human beings on the planet, honestly. He let me move in with him knowing I had no money, no job, and no prospects of making much money or getting hired due to my disabilities. He did this to help save me from my abusive family, the way they treated me making my anxiety and depression worse (as well as their refusal to admit mental illness is a real thing and get me treatment and help for those conditions, among others) and making it nearly impossible for me to do anything. He literally saved me from being homeless on the streets. For almost two years now he's worked hard to help support us both while I've struggled to get by, unable to work conventional jobs and doing what I can to earn money via the internet. In return I look after the house; dishes and cleaning, making sure the dog we adopted together gets his medication on time as he has seizures and the times at which he needs to be medicated my roommate is either asleep, at work, or otherwise occupied. I keep this place as neat as I can so he never has to worry about it.

Honestly there's just so much love from him. Other people in his life have said to him, in front of me, that they can't understand why he's doing so much for me when we're not dating or being intimate and that I'm dragging him down and keeping him from doing things because he has to spend a small fraction of his money taking care of me. But he sticks up for me every time, he's let me stay with him despite even protest from his family about the matter. And with his help and understanding I've been slowly getting myself back together from the PTSD my family left me with and all the other mental issues and working towards making enough money a month to help pay my end of things and be independent as much as possible. I literally owe him my life.
