10 Things I Never Knew I Needed In A Boyfriend

I was very independent before getting in a relationship and didn’t think I’d become so dependent when I got into one. But it’s not dependence in a bad way, it’s dependence in the way that now I have someone to help, someone to lean on, and someone to be there for me. I didn’t know I needed all these things until I had them. Here are 10 things I never knew I needed in a boyfriend:

1. Someone who lets me win sometimes, but not all the time.
2. Someone to take care of me.
3. Someone who might not necessarily find joy in all the things I like to do, but will come with me and pretend to enjoy them anyway.
4. Someone who will put my success and future first when the time is right.
5. Someone who is more fearless than me, because I’m a chicken who likes to make big plans with no execution.
6. Someone who will squash the bugs, open the jars, and make me lunch when I’m too tired.
7. Someone who is willing to put in an equal amount of work, if not more.
8. Someone who sees right through my mood swings.
9. Someone who would do anything for me, but can still take care of themselves.
10. Someone who is there, all the time, but you still miss when they leave for an hour.
