What Keeps Us Together

It seems that we've always got conversations on this forum about what separates people. I want to know what brings us together.

What keeps you with the same person day after day, month after month, year after year?

It doesn't have to be your significant other. How about a friendship that has sustained trial and time?

Re: What Keeps Us Together

Very early in our relationship, when we were still mostly just *friends*, my husband and I went and got each other's names tattooed in large Olde English letters on our backs.
"Are you married?" asked the guy at the tattoo shop, clearly concerned.
"I am," I replied truthfully. "He's not."

I love that anecdote.

I stay with him because he's sweet. He's so sweet.
He smells so good to me; he's got this yeasty (not in a bad way) wholesome smell like fresh-baked bread. Like a baby, or a baby animal. I noticed this the first time I ever met him, and I hoped it would never change, and it never has.

Re: What Keeps Us Together

I have been with my wife forever it seems, not only because we are like two peas in a pod, but she has no problem washing the sh** stains out of my underwear.

Re: What Keeps Us Together

I stay with my wife because there is not another soul on the planet mentally disturbed enough to take me.

That and she was the first woman who didn't charge me for sex and then vomit afterwards...

I've loved Gary for 25 years. What drew me to him was his strength. His strength of character, integrity, morals, even his face has strength (the manly, chiseled features).....the biceps are awful pretty too

I think what has kept us together is love, respect, trust and friendship. Every night when he comes home from work, Gary seeks me out for a kiss. I bring him coffee in bed on the weekend. We laugh a lot together. I think humor is a part of the glue.
I guess it's a hundred little things that say "you're important to me" that keep us together.

I think the biggest part is that my partner is someone who puts up with all my ****. The yin to my yang if you will.

Re: What Keeps Us Together

I would guess what keeps people together is a crushing fear of being alone.









Sorry this thread was getting to positive for my liking

Even though you were tongue in cheek on your post, I expect that what you said is true. Some people will be with the wrong person forever, because they believe that being alone is worse.
