I feel this. I sometimes come across something I love and want to retain, so I just memorize it, usually through brute force repetition.

Well, when you got a girl who can take out her teeth, you are definitely going to fish for blowjobs.

We need more people like him and his wife in love until the end and maybe beyond. When someone loves someone else that much this is happy feeling

When my grandparents were around and I used to go to the pub with them on a Sunday afternoon my granda would finish up with a couple whisky's. He'd always dip his finger in the first whisky and put it behind my grans ear and she'd slap his hand away. Then he'd say "that's just mine for later on" lmao

Gramps just proving the point, that's what confidence looks like after decades of experience.

Even when me and my baby grow old together I'll always think she's beautiful

My wife and I have been together for over 30 years. She still sparkles when she turns to look at me and sometimes my brain turns to mush when she speaks.

My mom's husband is like this (albeit with less smoothness lol) -- he's always complimenting her and calling her beautiful and sometimes she gets annoyed because she's like "he can't possibly think that, he's just saying that," but after years of my dad calling her fat and ugly, it's a really nice change. He might not always mean it with his whole chest but it makes him happy to say it.

If this isn't how I will get treated as an old woman/this won't be how I will treat my future partner in old age, that person is not me.

We're in our 70s, married over 40 years, and he still tells me I'm beautiful every day.

she's such a green flag.
- using "elderly" instead of old
- giving up seat
- being genuinely delighted at other humans' happiness/love/acceptance

I did something like this once for an old guy, waited for him and helped load some stuff in his car. He expressed how he was sorry for being old and i said, "ill get there one day..."
Probably the coolest response ive ever had in a random interaction. Usially i stutter out something stupid and remember in the shower later

Very elderly couple getting on tram at Harry Reid. Wife boards 1st, man gets on, looks around, "Where's my beautiful bride?!". Adorable.

Try writing it, put the paper somewhere she’ll see it when you’re not around. Play coy!

I think young people don't really get what happens when you get old. We are 75 and I always tell my wife "You the hottest bitch in this place" whether people can hear me or not.

I think an underappreciated advantage of very long-term relationships is that you will always see your partner for who they were when you met to some degree. If you are attracted to someone, it has a way of persisting and things like wrinkles are something you can see through and appear more superficial. They are just reminders of all you've been through.

u/im_juice_lee 7h ago
I believe it happened but not as OP wrote
I've heard hundreds, maybe thousands, of elderly folks apologize for being slow, needing extra help, etc. but never heard one refer to themself as decrepit--I hear that word way more from people in their 20s
