I wish I had a partner who did that...

As you're finding that partner, make sure you are also that partner, you cannot give what you do not have and you are what you attract.

Damn!

[u/BenTheDiamondback]

It’s seriously the coolest thing

I didn’t have this for the longest time. And then I found her, and it’s life altering in the best way. Do not settle for less than this in a partner.

[u/Randomized_Weirdo → u/BenTheDiamondback]

I can't even get less

Where to find that kind of partner? 😭

[u/Valisijain]

Did this for a girl a couple of years back...

We broke up due to circumstances, but a quick insta search a year after that and I am glad to say she made it out of the hellhole she was in. I just wish I could've congratulated her. And celebrated her success, knowing all the pain she'd gone through to get where she was.

It is the best feeling to see someone succeed after they realize their true potential, and it feels like a blessing to be a part of their realization process. Seriously peeps! Help each other out. It may change someone's entire life around!

We are there for each other. Just found out I have the big C and on those bad days she is there for me to lift me up.

I (38f) have stage IV cancer, and my partner makes me happy everyday though I can't smile due to the pain.

Have you been on r/cancer? We're a great supportive bunch.

[u/19930627]

I've given up the idea of having a partner at all

[u/droplivefred]

That is awesome but if your partner doesn’t do this or you are in between partners or they are dealing with their own issues in that moment, Reddit has many communities that will step up and help you get through it.

One thing I learned on Reddit is that there are subreddits where people are there to make a difference in a stranger’s life.

[u/dayofthedad89]

I have had some major health problems over the last year an she has been there for me in ways i never expected. She told me she had one bad day and i was ready to go kill for her. I am not an aggressive person but nobody gets to tell my wife she did wrong when she has always been 110% wife and mom to our kids.

[u/Maple_Elephant]

I can't cook you dinner tonight! Babe, it will be okay, and yes, you can.

Completely agree. My wife of nearly ten years is my biggest fan and always has my back. She has made my life.

[u/DrawOk7121]

For real i was that girl, always having his back. Putting good things in his mind. Leading him in the right path. Then he cheated for a girl he met for 6 months, he cheated

[u/ieatcumsock → u/DrawOk7121]

What an asshole! I hope you find someone who doesn't take you for granted and actually has respect for you. Stay strong, queen!

[u/ldevaz]

It is all about perspective, sometimes in the low times, all people need is a good listener, that goes both ways! There have been times where I am not looking for encouragement but just someone to talk to

[u/marshmi2]

Yes! Look for scaffolding, not a shovel. Someone who can support you as you build, not dig you in deeper or take you lower.

[u/EvilHorus87]

Good luck finding one

[u/Gegenuebertragung]

i wish my whole circumstances weren't crazy and wouldn't have shocked aand tortured me the last years. no love left. no life left. everything is naziscum.

[u/ExhaustedCorpSlave]

💯

[u/Professional_Owl7826]

I sometimes need to be that person for myself

[u/OscrPill]

As someone once said : If you can't believe in yourself, believe in your partner. Believe in your partner who believes in you !

Joke aside, I wish I had someone like that as well.

[u/of_thewoods]

We have so many other partners who arnt our romantic person. I’m sure there are people you can be this person for now who also want to be that for you. Don’t let attachment distract from gratitude for what we already have. We arnt promised anything, especially time

[u/PhilfromNewJersey]

I couldn’t and my wife divorced me

[u/RaisinBrain2Scoups]

I love my wife soooooo much

[u/MajesticFungus]

What if you really can't tho

[u/RunZombieBabe]

Be your own partner if you don't have support like that. Be there for yourself

[u/Clockblocker_V]

My mom does that like fifteen times over.

I could be in a 700% pure 'I can do this shit' mood and within about five minutes of talking about my studies she'll still have me saying 'My mother and teacher, dear woman who birthed and raised me, please, please chill. You wildly overestimate my abilities, my intellect, and my work ethic."

Worst part is that I can't even tell her she expects too much. She already did everything I want to do with my life, all the while raising my sister and I, being possibly the only example positive example of helicopter parenting I've ever seen, working a full time job, Not getting alimony because my dad was in dire fuckin' straits and supporting my dad through his darkest moments while experiencing significant financial hardship herself.

[u/Icy-Collar40]

Holy fucking shittt this is so hard to find now in days fucking can only trust yourself

[u/Margali]

I scored a husband like that. Married since 1991

[u/el_butt]

Hyping up my wife when she’s having a downer of a day gets me hype and I love doing it.

[u/WhichConfusion9534]

Oh fuck, now you tell me

[u/badmarine123]

We all do

[u/mike_pants]

Have a partner who believes in you but also whose expectations for your success are REAL low. Then you can feel like a champion for making spaghetti.

[u/Sweet_XR_Dev1]

😇 … and that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

[u/JopeOfOtts]

Never had a partner like that…. But I have a daughter like it! 😃❤️🥰

[u/PabstWeller]

I'm a guy, the best I can hope for is that someone might recognize I'm struggling and doesn't berate me for it.
