'My partner is amazing': Single mom's appreciation note for her boyfriend is the definition of love

There is more to any relationship than just spending time together and knowing what the other person likes or dislikes. Sometimes, people have to sit back and ponder how their partner/spouse impacts their outlook on life. Amidst thousands of people who use social media platforms to complain, some take time to appreciate and express their gratitude for their partner. u/Sad-Teacher-1170 was one such person who shared her true feelings about her "amazing" partner on Reddit and it is sure to make us believe in love all over again.

Posting a picture of her and her partner, the mom of three wrote, "My partner is amazing." It was an appreciation post of how blessed she was to have a great man in her life, but it spoke volumes. The woman met her partner when he became her manager at work and even before their relationship began, her kids grew fond of him. For the past 4 months, the duo had been together and the mom pointed out that even her father connected with her partner instantly. "My dad loved him so much that he invited him to our family get-together!" she said. Also, she added, "We're not there yet, so maybe next year."

Speaking of his thoughtful personality, the woman mentioned, "He understands my bipolar and helps me when I'm low. He knows everything under the sun and I love hearing him explain things to me that I'll never understand." But it was not just about how much he cared for her. He was also quite considerate about her kids. "He's sweet and caring, he accepts all my rules for my kids (mostly just not getting too close because I'm cautious in case it goes south)," she added. Turns out, her partner managed to impress her youngest son, who has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) and doesn't usually like people during the first meeting. 

The mom was touched by the fact that her youngest son loved her partner so much that he craved his presence. "My middle son told us while picking up my new car that he wished my partner was his dad. He hasn't seen his biological dad since he found out he had been lying to him for years to make him mad at me," the woman added. Even her oldest son, who was always cautious about getting attached because things might not work out, liked her partner. "I just had to get this off my chest because he is so amazing!" she exclaimed.    

When u/Hot-Watercress3179 pointed out, "Wow, I can tell your ex is horrible because you are awesome. This guy just won the jackpot. Anyone who shows this much appreciation for their partner is a wonderful partner. Good riddance," the mom replied, "He was and thank you. I feel like I won the jackpot with him."

On a similar note, a wife expressed her heartfelt appreciation on TikTok for her husband, who taught her to be a "relaxed woman," which went viral. Amanda Ferguson (@mrsamandaferguson), a woman empowerment coach and a mom of four, shared how empowered she felt by her femininity because of her husband's constant reassurance. "My husband taught me that rest wasn't a recommendation. It was a requirement," she said, adding that having an understanding partner made her feel secure and "flourish in her femininity." She said, "He allowed me to push my survival mode to the side and he allowed my softness to come to the surface," which resonated with many.
