Why I love him

Shannon

Last night I was hanging out my my boyfriend and we were cuddled up and then I said to him “I just got really scared and I don’t know why.” This was my first anxiety attack in a while and the first one he’s ever been with me for. He was the sweetest most loving person during it. He just held on to me and kept saying “everything is ok, you’re ok, don’t worry I’ve got you.” He was so calm while I was crying and shaking a bit, he didn’t judge me, he didn’t make me feel guilty, he just waited until it passed. While it was happening I kept apologizing because we were supposed to be on our way to ski, and afterwards he looked me in the eyes and said “you don’t have anything to apologize for, I’m just sorry you have to go through that.” It just reminded me why I love him so much and that there are people out there who won’t make you feel silly or guilty during an anxiety attack, and who will quite literally hold you’re hand through it and kiss your forehead and wait patiently.
