They say that men struggle to show their emotions, but I've found that that's not entirely true. Hyper-masculine, out-of-touch guys might struggle to show their feelings, but a real man knows how to cry, he knows how to confess, and he knows how to gush. Now that's hubby material. 

If you weren't sure about what makes a good husband or a good partner in a relationship yet, our next story might just build the guidelines (the 'how to', if you will) of how to have an amazing relationship. For starters, being able to spill your guts on how you feel is a good start. Why hide you explosion of fantastical lovey dovey feelings? Well, for u/Western-Funny5273, he went online just to get a few things off his chest in the most wholesome way. 

Scroll for the entire love confession where one man lays it all out there for the world wide web to enjoy, making us all a little jealous of this man's delightfully wholesome love life.

    She was affectionate, calm, smart, compassionate, understanding, sweet (the list could go on for hours), and if that wasn't enough, insanely cute and beautiful. My friends would always tell me to give it some time, eventually, she would << shows her real colors » since everyone tends to hide their negative traits at the beginning of a relationship.

    Honestly, I believed them. I was madly in love with her, but I told myself to enjoy it while it lasts. Fast forward 8 years later, nothing has changed. Well, we moved in a really nice place, got married and live together now!

    Every evening when I come back home from work, I get greeted with a big hug and a warm << I missed you today. »>. And without a fail, every time she does that, all the stress of the day melts away. No matter how bad it was. We usually have dinner right away then cuddle and tell each other about our day.

    when I'm really feeling down, having this woman in my arms never fails to make me happy. I've never felt so cared for, listened and loved before. When we go to bed, she always falls asleep on my chest while I play with her hair and give her kisses. Before drifting off, she mumbles really sweet things like how much she

    Ever since this happened, I think I fell in love with her even more. She's the only person who actually listens and never judges me. I feel like I can tell her everything, and it's so relieving.

    She's my wife, the love of my life, my best friend, my partner in crime, EVERYTHING! I am immensely thankful for each moment spent with her. We argue extremely rarely but whenever it happens, we're both calm, never shout at each other and try to find solutions together.
