Thanks for responding to each and every post...and having added to it too...
Romance is very subjective... what one finds romantic, another may find mundane...and vice versa...but ultimately to me, romance is about sharing with and caring for each other...candlelight dinners and diamond solitaires are nice but they cannot make up for sharing and caring...that is why when people fretted and fumed about no b'day gitts for Nidhi, I could only smile...I have been married 22 years...and have never received any gifts for b'days or anniversaries...nor have I given any...I buy him things when I feel like it...he gives me money at times and asks me to go splurge...but nothing for special occasions...
And yet, he backs my every dream...he is the first person I go to when I am hurt or disappointed...I would say he is my best friend...we are each other's confidantes...and, the icing on the cake is that he has loved my parents as his own...something I am not sure if I have been able to do...when I see the love and care he has for my parents, solitaires and flowers and all other romantic gestures pale in comparison...because he has adopted my dreams and my concerns as his...and that is all that matters at the end of the day!
aww... yet again a touching luv story..
wow 22 yrs into mrg.. **sigh*** will jst reach nearly 1/4th of the time u've spent with each other.. No wonder the sharing and caring means more to u thn any such materialistic thing..😳
u know its God's blessing to have a best friend in one's hubby.. and u r very much blessed!😛
yes.. i agree.. somehow.. those candlelight dinners or diamonds or gifts have never attracted me.. and thy mean nothing in comparison to wat he really does tht makes the difference in our lives!😳
my hubby and I, i guess, have to learn a lot and v being still comparitively new to all this maturity in such long-term r'ship.. still one can see the gem tht lies underneath.. even with his typical male ego, he has such a large heart.. 😳
and yes i can identify a relative of mine with ur husband.. i think such person r rare on this earth and indeed u r very lucky!😳 bt i guess God really thot tht u truly deserved it!
bt i will not value less these overt romantic gestures too...didnt v step into this r'ship with the help of those things originally...😆😆😆.. gifts, card, chat, dinners, longdrives.. and want not! i think those candlelight dinners and gifts can b fun sometimes.. i want to try everything.. and thn c wat works most!😆
while dating, i used to flaunt his gifts.. it was so childish!😆😆😆 and he gifted bcoz he thot at tht time tht it was mandatory while dating!🤣
