Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I'm a lot to handle, but you've got two hands so you'll be OK.

Dear Future Husband, Here's A How-To​​ Guide

I have no idea who you are. We may have met already, we may have never met before. Either way, it doesn't matter because I know I will end up with you. I think about you every day. I, obviously, can't put a face on you, but I know that I love you with my whole heart. I know you will be head-over-heels for me and treat me in the best way possible.

I need to be listened to. I vent a lot. I don't want advice unless I specifically ask for it, but I just want to be listened to and I want to be told everything will be OK. I want to be able to come home to you every night and talk about my day and gossip with you without thinking, "oh he doesn't care" or that we can only talk about your day.

I beat myself up over and blame myself for everything. I get overwhelmed and stress myself out super easily. I'll listen to music to not be so stressed, but I'd like you to be there too. Like I said before, tell me everything will work out and be OK. Offer to help me (even though I can tell you right now I will tell you not to help me because I will feel bad). I can overthink everything, so when I come to you with a problem, don't take it personally.

I can be very insecure. You have no idea how much compliments mean to me. They mean everything to me and I take them to heart. Tell me I'm pretty when I've done myself up or when I'm sitting on the couch with sweatpants and a t-shirt on. Even when I'm 80 years old, I still want you to tell me I'm pretty. When I start to doubt myself, give me words of affirmation. If I ever come across like I'm doubting us, give me words of affirmation, I get in my own head and I can be my own worst enemy.

Joke around with me. I love laughing. My natural laugh is obnoxious, but it's contagious and I know that when you laugh, I'll love it. I will give you a hard time and joke around with you. I will make fun of you but in the best way possible. I want you to make fun of me. I make fun of myself constantly so join in.

My love languages are, of course, words of affirmation and giving. I will give you plenty of long "good morning" texts to wake up to. I will do little surprises for you. If I'm shopping and I see something that reminds me of you, I'll buy it for you. I will tell you every day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I never want a day to go by doubting me or us. Even on our bad days, I will tell you I love you. I will still kiss you when I'm mad. I never want to go to bed mad.

Jam out to music with me. I am ALWAYS listening to music. Post Malone has my heart (sorry that's your only competition). Throwbacks like early '00s R&B/Hip-hop is played daily. Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs have a playlist too. When I'm singing my heart out or trying to dance with you, have fun and join me. Sing with me. Yell the words with me. Dance with me. Music is a huge part of my life.

I'm very opinionated and very passionate about the things I believe. I will never be silent about my beliefs. Even if I'm the only person that believes in something, I would rather stand alone and be true to myself than follow everyone else. I don't expect you to be passionate about the same things as me (but if we did that'd be amazing), but when I'm talking about my beliefs or giving my opinion on something, don't degrade me if you disagree with me.

Like I said earlier, I don't know you yet, but just know I am so excited for the moment I realize, "this is the person I'm supposed to marry." I love you more than you know.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
