He makes me laugh, comforts me when I'm said or upset, takes care of me when I don't feel well, talks me down from potential anxiety/panic attacks and he's bought me chocolate just because.
It's amazing to have him in my life and he does a lot for me. For example, when I'm in one of my low moods or generally not feeling well, he'll come over and watch Disney movies with me.
This is a guy who grew up with an older brother and never got into the whole Disney scene and never watched the princess movies.
This is a guy who loves horror movies yet knows how scared and jumpy I get from them so he'll settle for a Disney movie with me.
I'm sure we've gone through almost, if not all, of the Disney princesses movies and he hasn't complained once about. I'm sure he's joked about it, but he never seemed to mind watching the movies with me.
Now I've never been one to watch sports. I think it's definitely something to go see live if you have the chance, but it's just not the same through the TV in my opinion.
My boyfriend loves to watch sports, he's a hockey player and follows the National Hockey League (NHL) as if it's his religion. Hockey is his main sport, yet he'll watch any sport.
As many know, Sunday was the SuperBowl.
I've never watched football in my life yet we made plans to watch it together.
I've never watched football nor do I understand the sport all that much, my guy still wanted to watch the game with me.
I wish I could say that I tried my best to follow along, but honestly whenever the whistle blew for fouls, I was already asking about 20 different questions.
He had no knowledge of Disney movies and I had no knowledge of football games.
When you're with someone special to you either it's a partner in a relationship, a friend or a family member, you should always take the time to watch something they like and learn about that person.
Even though you find that whatever your friend wants to watch is absolutely boring, stick it out because that's what every relationship is about: Give and Take.
He took time to watch Disney movies with me so I'll make sure to watch the Stanley cup playoffs with him.
In my blog posts, I try to avoid writing about personal relationships simply because you never knew what could be coming down the road, however I thought that my relationship would be a really good example for this and the topic of give and take.
We might not have the same taste in movies, but that's okay because we can either compromise on the spot or one of use will give the other the choice.
Admittedly we have a lot of "You pick." "No, you pick," moments, but in the end it doesn't matter what we do because we just want to spend time together in the end.
Try something new for someone special in your life because it's all about finding that happy middle ground where everyone gets a chance for something they like.
