7. They make you feel safe and protected.
You have a partner who is always going to make you feel safe and protected. You know that when you’re with this one person, you are always free to just be yourself. You never have to feel afraid or insecure. Whenever you’re together, you are free to let go of all of your anxieties and worries. You always feel so comfortable.
8. They make you want to be a better person.
They always inspire and motivate you to be a better human being. It is precise because of this person’s existence in your life that you have decided to just make yourself a better person every day that you’re alive. You never stop trying to improve on the things that you know you can do better at because of your relationship.
9. They make you happy.
And at the end of the day, it’s always important that your partner is able to make you happy. That’s what it’s all about after all. Life is generally about the pursuit of happiness. And it’s always nice when you’re with someone who is able to add to the happiness that you feel on a daily basis.
Lately, I have not been the best husband to my wife. It seems like the trust and that bond we had has been broken, and it is all my fault. When I got news of our reassignment, I held back out of fear and our marriage nearly ended when she found out. Then came the gift card scam in which I allowed myself to be a victim. And buying a money pit of a house was the icing on the cake. Now my wife does not trust me with money anymore…she doesn’t trust me with anything, period. I just need advice on how to rebuild the trust and the bond we once had as right now, it feels like we are house mates with kids.
You need to rebuild the trust, but you also must communicate clearly with her about what you need. And if that trust, which we do need as men (we need to be respected and appreciated), you need to tell her that’s what you need. You’ll need to own your mistakes and maybe work on including her in decisions more until the trust is rebuilt.
They have the maturity to walk away when angry, then come back and calmly discuss the problems to work out a solution.
