The First Time

The First Time My Boyfriend Said "I Love You" While Being Halfway Sober

June 13th, Saturday afternoon.

We were hanging out in the garage (of course!) and we were just talking. I was facing his Mom's car and he came from behind to give me a hug and to cuddle. Then he says, "I have to apologize." I said "Okay" and was really confused because I didn't understand why he needed to apologize. Then he continued "Because I have a little bit of alcohol in my system, but I love you. I really do. You know that right? Because I love you!" I turned around to face him and gave him a kiss and a hug and said to him "I love you too. I love you so much!" He was all teary eyed so I know that he meant it which made me all teary eyed and then we stayed in an embrace for a long time.

Later on we talked about marriage and how happy we made each other.

It was a perfect tribute to our relationship. My boyfriend isn't an alcoholic even though it sounds like that from the title of this blog. But the big joke that we have is that he can't express his feeling when he is sober, that's why he apologized for the alcohol being in his system. He had one drink that afternoon with lunch. He has said "I love you" SEVERAL times while being very drunk. And I know by the way he treats me that he does love me, it's just nice to hear it once and a while.

Hopefully, I'll be hearing this more often now that he broke the seal and said it once, but if he doesn't I still know in my heart that it's love. :)
