What to do for the one for whom you are so totally overwhelmed by love? : )

No, I’ve never been overwhelmed by love in that particular way, but it sounds nice.

Absolutly and this feeling is followed by fear of losing them to some freaky accident.

Aw that is really lovely. She should be proud to be your wife.
Yes my SO and I feel the same. We occasionally look at each other, and that special something is well and truly still there after all these years.
It is very special

@CaptainHarley

Congratulations, you have experienced true love.

Love for the sake of love, love born of enjoying the mere existence of another without wanting anything in return other than to bask in your love.

You are truly ‘seeing’ your partner, unfiltered and unbiased by your own need.

Cool!

@Coloma… Exactly! : ))

Yup. And, it’s the little things.

When we’re just chillin’ on the sofa and she picks up her guitar and plays for me, I feel it. When she’s talking about the cosmos or something else science related (my little science nerd) and she’s passionate about it—it fills me up with love.

When I see her being creative whilst painting or drawing, it’s beautiful and I love her even more..

And, when we make dinner together..

yes. since i am obsessed with sloths (who isn’t? :p) it has also rubbed off on my boyfriend. so we do this thing and it might sound so silly to everyone else but you know how sloths cling on to things with their three cute little toes? well when i feel a sudden surge of love for him, i cling onto his arm with three fingers. and when he does it to me out of the blue it makes me so happy and overwhelmed that i flop around and sometimes have to stop and take a minute so i don’t start crying from joy. i admit it does sound funky but its just come to be this cute weird little thing between us and it really means so much more than it sounds like.

@deni aawww!!! Mine does this face and voice at me sometimes that’s so adorable that it actually made me cry once! I was like…woah! That’s never happened before lol and yet everyone else looks at us like we’re crazy xD

Lovers are delightfully insane! : D

Oh, yes, I think me and mine belong in an assylum :P

Oh, yes- my Hubbs. Sometimes it’s frightening to be so filled with happy. I always make sure to tell him when I feel like that. It makes little moments special.

My wife almost literally saved my life. Someday, before I die, I’ll tell everyone the story. : )

Don’t watse time, @CaptainHarley! Tell us now :P

No, time enough later. This business of dying from slow-growing, incurable cancer is going to take awhile… like maybe years!

Awh maaannn…I’m sorry bout that ): I wish you the best (not that me saying that does anything..) but I’d love to hear your story one day hopefully :)

It’s ok. I’ve had a great run. : ))

Stick around. I just need to come up with the right words to explain it. : )

Haha okay! I will :D
I can only hope I have as much fun as you thoughout my life hehe

Don’t get me wrong, it was hardly ALL fun, but no one could ever accuse me of not having had an exciting life! LOL!

Work hard, play hard! :))

Great motto! Mine was, “Never give up! Never surrender! Never say ‘die! And take NO prisoners!” : D

I feel that way about my parents. I hope I get to experience it in the way you do someday!

It takes a LOT of patience. And it requires that you discover who you are and work on making that person the best “you” you can be. Then, when you finally find the one, they will be attracted to the person you have become, rather than to some facade you may have set up to try and make others like you. They will be enough like you that the two of you will have a great deal in common, but enough UN-like you to keep life interesting. You will find them when you least expect it, and the recogniton may come slowly, or it may come instantaneously, but you will know.

I met my wife-to-be on the Internet during a very bad period in my life. I had just been diagnosed with, and operated on for, incurable cancer. Shortly after that, my ex informed me that she wanted a divorce so she could marry a man from her church. This was not entirely bad, since she and I had been separated for quite some time.

Vicky, my wife-to-be, pulled me out of a very, very deep depression with her concern, compassion and humor. I had pretty much given up, despite my desires to do otherwise, and was just waiting to die. Vicky and a mutual friend of ours kept insisting that I should go visit Vicky in Texas, which I finally did. I rode my Harley-Davidson over 1,200 miles in two 12-hour days. Vicky and I had a delightful time together. As I was getting ready to leave, she was looking up at me and smiling with a smile that went all the way to her soul. Her eyes are green, and I could see her soul through them. She asked me, “Do you see any reason why we can’t get married?” LOL!

I have never processed information so rapidly in all my life! I ran through all the objections I might have had, and none of them held water. This took all of about three seconds, but it seemed like forever! I looked into those amazing eyes of hers and said, “No, hon. I can’t see any reason why we can’t get married,” and I MEANT it! : D

I rode back to North Carolina, sold almost everything I owned, put the rest in a rental truck, and moved to Texas. Best decision I ever made! : ))

@CaptainHarley with tears in my eyes That is such a lovely story. :-)

@CaptainHarley Wow :D

I’m glad you decided to share! I love hearing these kinds of stories :) It’s amazing how you can seemingly hit rock-bottom and if the right person comes along, you’re on top of the world again! Congrats on meeting and staying with yours :))

@Chongalicious

I love her so. : ))

Under normal circumstances, & in real life (not like here on Fluther) I’m usually a fairly cool & controlled person, & very eloquent. I would love to be able to use these attributes to verbalise what I feel for her….. I can do it in writing & have made her cry (in a good way) on a few occasions. However, when sat in front of her my mind just goes blank so I just watch her….. not in a creepy way :)

What a beautiful question.

Yes I really really feel that way. I just love to watch him, he’s amazing. I just look at him and think how very lucky I am to have him. I am amazed by him. He is like a dream, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.

@Dibley

Wow! Sounds like you feel about him the same way I feel about HER! LOL!

@CaptainHarley Thank you, I really really do.

: )))
