Reply #7: To me, he seems to be the real thing [View All]

He doesn't make it all about him, it's about us. He puts my needs over his many days. I try and take care of him the same way. We have been dating for about 2 and a half years, and living together for a year and a half. He has seen the worst of me and still sticks around and doesn't shove it in my face. He does have anger issues, but he will not hit a woman, so he has never laid a hand on me in that way, no matter how pissed at me he is. He doesn't do drugs, stuff like that. He does have depression, and a pretty bad case of it, but that's something that medication and therapy can work out (along with the anger issues). He knows he has problems and has so far been open about them. If anything, I'm the bad one in the relationship (no, that's not him making me think that, he takes such good care of me and I can't do much in return).

Sometimes I think he must love me with all the crap I put him through with my disorders. Anyone fake would have left a long time ago. Actually, I know he loves me because he has shown me nothing but love, respect and caring. I think I got a good guy :)

And hon, if you are reading this, I hope it makes you smile to know how much I love you (he's a member of the board and checks in here occasionally)
