5. She loves me back

“Whenever I tell my wife ‘I love you,’ she always responds with ‘I love you.’ It’s subtle… but she never says, ‘I love you too.’ It’s this small difference that always reminds me that her love for me is not because of a reciprocal emotion, but stands on its own. Even when I can’t see that things are good just the way they are, I know she loves me.” — damacnchese
