Dear Boyfriend,

I would just like to take a few minutes to thank you for tolerating me on a daily basis. I know I’m not always easy to deal with, but you’re usually always so patient with me, and it means more than you could ever know.

Thank you for never making me question your loyalty, no matter how many half-naked sorority girls want your attention. Any doubts that I've had with guys in the past are nonexistent with you, because your heart is the most genuine thing I've ever experienced.

Thank you for dealing with my insecurities, of which there are many. I know it's not fun to wait for me to put a mask on my face for 30 minutes every morning, but I appreciate you telling me that I'm beautiful, with or without it.

Thank you for loving my dog. To be honest, I probably wouldn't date you if you didn't, but the fact that you do makes me all the happier.

Thank you for allowing me to be there for my friends, even if that means giving less attention to you sometimes. I know you may not like all of them, but you always encourage me to be there when they need me, and it speaks to just how amazing of a person you really are.

Thank you for supporting me in every single thing that I do. I'm sorry that I called you at 4 AM for a midterm pep talk, but you telling me that I could do it got me through the cramming and the exam.

Thank you for being proud to be with me. When you hold my hand in public and think nothing of it, it does more for my self confidence than freshly-waxed eyebrows (I don't know if you understand the magnitude of that statement, but try your best).

Thank you for every single other aspect of happiness and fulfillment that you bring to my life, that would take far too long to list here. You complete me in a way that no one else can, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Forever and ever.
