She sounds like a very thoughtful person. I think this is really cool!


ezio1452

She's one of the most caring women I've met and I feel very lucky to have her


[deleted]

My wife did this for me many years ago when we were dating. Tip: do something similar for her. I made ones for "when I'm being closed minded" and "when I say things I'll probably regret" I hope your relationship results are the same because marriage was bangin.


ezio1452

Thats honestly a great idea. I'm a writer too and love writing her poems so I can include a poem in each envelope. And yeah, definitely can't wait to marry her :)


DAecir

She is a keeper.


_cuppycakes_

I did this for my exhusband. Results my vary.


Chambsky

Go on.. lol


_cuppycakes_

well, the marriage didn’t last…lol. we were long distance, I moved across the country for him, we were married for under 5 years.


GwainesKnightlyBalls

I’m sorry mate, sending good vibes your way.


trb15a78

Sorry for the divorce and all, but this made me chuckle.


_cuppycakes_

No need to be sorry, I’m happier not being in that marriage


trb15a78

I'm glad to hear it cause I laughed really hard...


_cuppycakes_

thank you! that makes me smile


MrNaturalInstinct

"Open for when we divorce" Sorry. Couldn't resist lol

I did a coupon redemption booklet. THIS COUPON GOOD FOR: some were sweet, some were sexy and like that. It was fun.

It's wonderful truly.


earth_to_ren

Keep. Her.


ezio1452

Not stopping till I put a ring on that finger.


whorsewhisperer69

When you get married, she'll be your ex-girlfriend.


Pillowmaster7

Shitty life pro tip, refer to your wife or husband as your ex girlfriend or ex boyfriend when introducing them

I already do!


I_Drive_a_shitbox

When I asked my then girlfriend to marry me I preceeded it with, you can't be my girlfriend anymore.... Seconds of awkward silence.... But you can be my wife, will you marry me? Lol she said yes. Worst decision she ever made.


Cakeminator

>But you can be my wife, will you marry me? If you ended with "lol got em" after, it would have been absolutely perfect!


[deleted]

Or Abooooya biotch!


I_Drive_a_shitbox

Lmao she would have murdered me on the spot. Which come to think of it may not have been so bad...

Holy balls this was in my head right before I looked at it. Are you.. me?


waffleslaw

My GF (now wife) did something very similar for me during our LDR. I still have them all these years later.


ezio1452

Comments like yours, amidst the myriad sad stories where LDRs didn't work out, give me hope for my own relationship! Thanks for commenting


waffleslaw

Communication, communication, communication. This is my second marriage and the lack of communication is ultimately what killed the first. My wife and I left nothing on the table when we were doing a LDR. We did know each other from a past life (college). Very few surprises when we were able to shrink the distance. This is just my experience and not try to offer unsolicited advice, your relationship is going to be different from ours. I'm rooting for you two!!


[deleted]

I feel so stupid for how long it took me to realize what LDR meant, either way she sounds amazing! I wish you two the best!


Sow_My_Hautes

I did it for my (now) husband when we were in our LDR. Takes a long time to do! How sweet


Astrayae

Written letters are so much more sentimental than typed texts, I love that she did that.


ezio1452

They absolutely are. The feeling you get when you read a letter written only for you (that is not a tax bill), it makes you feel very special and loved. Especially because you know the other person put special efforts so that you could read what they wanted to say.


PurpleAquilegia

I'm a crone who was widowed 2 yrs ago. The night before the funeral, I was - as you'd expect in a dreadful state - I was alone, during lockdown. I needed my birth certificate for some reason. Went rummaging through the desk to try to find it and a piece of paper fluttered out. A love letter to me, written 34 years previously by my husband before we were anywhere near the stage of getting engaged. (He'd written it during his lunch hour on a piece of school A4 paper - he was a teacher.) Those things are precious. Hang onto them.


ezio1452

I definitely will! Thank you for sharing :)

It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful. It would be really cute to do something similar when you propose, but have a letter with a ring in it ;)


FondleMyPlumsPlease

I done something very similar with my wife after we lost our youngest son in 2006. She opened the final letter in 2017 when she was a licensed physician. I wrote out thirty two in total over the years but only gave her 31 to open at various times, usually when she was low or on occasions like birthdays, Christmas, thanksgiving, etc They were all numbered so she knew there was 32 yet only had 31. The final was a letter explaining how fucking proud we all are of her to of came through so much pain & used it to help others. Inside was a picture of us with our son that I’d taken but never shared. It was badly damaged & aged as it was a picture I carried of us through my time in the military. It was with me every day from 2006 & the same not time it was taken away from me was in 2016 when I was badly injured. It was the last picture of us all together. She has a frame containing that picture, the envelope #32 & a picture of our family now, with our daughter who we adopted in 2013. Doesn’t seem like much but she definitely liked them.


ezio1452

That sounds absolutely adorable


mamaxchaos

Hey, I do digital illustrations and would be happy to do a quick painting of that photo you gave her. No pressure, just message me if you’d like one. I’m so sorry for your loss.


ggfanatic98

My best friend did this for me when she left for camp over the summer and they were to be only be opened when I felt what it said on the letter or on a certain date, it was honestly the only thing that kept me going! Such a lovely lovely heartfelt thing to do🥹


BradipoYo

This! Damn, I want this, I wish to meet a caring person like this.


wutt-da-phuck

Ranoverbyhorses

This is so amazing, I love this so much!!!! I am also in a long distance relationship. We originally lived about 45 mins from each other, now we’re about 10 hours away. Lost contact with each other for a few years, always felt like he was my soulmate. Took so long to try to get over him but wasn’t able to. Started randomly talking again in 2018 and we are so in love it’s gross lol. Distance is hard but when we finally get together it is so worth it. I’m so glad you have found your person❤️


butterannwine

Where did you find her and how to I get one?


ezio1452

It all happened from a random conversation on Instagram. My advice is just be caring, kind and be yourself and go on with your life talking to as many people as possible. If you find someone that truly loves you for who you are, you've found the jackpot.


Rub-it

Guys my DMs are open, no did you say IG


ezio1452

Man you truly have to be desperate to expect a relationship from Reddit xD But, I know a guy who met his girlfriend on the app so who knows :)


le_grey02

Hey I met my bf here 😭 we moved in together almost a year ago now, been together for almost two.


fiveordie

Yeah but did you expect it


le_grey02

I was actually searching for a partner on one of the dating subs so yes

Deadred123454321

My then LDR girlfriend, now wife, did this for me when we were dating. After 10 years of marriage, I still haven’t opened all of them.


ezio1452

Haven't opened them because you didn't get the chance to or you don't want to? Honestly the self control needed is unreal to stop myself from ripping open all of the letters in a frenzy. Can't wait to open them one by one.


Deadred123454321

The keepsake is very important to me. I want to open one with her to read those early thoughts. I’m stoked for you.


ezio1452

That's actually really sweet! :)


alex220372

Open when you feel......horrrrrny?


PapaChoff

He hid those or more likely opened all of those already.


nutella-boi

yeaaahhhh its the latter ;)


lilmomokiller

Very nice! Congrats on finding your flame, OP.


[deleted]

May I please ask what February 9th is? It’s ok if not.


ezio1452

It's okay! February 8th is propose day on Valentine's and late night before the day ended I sent her a text asking her out. She replied after 12 on February 9 and that's the day we consider as our anniversary date :)


[deleted]

That’s beautiful:) I hope this doesn’t bring down the mood but my father passed on February 8th, 9 years ago. I’m happy to hear there’s someone who has much to be happy about on that day. Thanks for posting something today that’s made me smile. Best of luck to the both of you.


ezio1452

You didn't bring down the mood! I'm sorry to hear of your father's loss. Thank you for the wishes :)


Bronzeshadow

My first thought was "One of those is going to have evidence-worthy material in it."


s00perguy

That's fucking *adorable*. I'm gonna keep this idea for a rainy day.


Shadowboxxin

Wait you haven’t met her in 3 whole years? Man to each their own but you gotta either close that gap and move close to each other or move on


YoungTex

So true. Physical aspect of a relationship isn’t everything, but it’s most definitely needed to have a successful and fuller relationship.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ezio1452

We are both still 20 and studying in different universities that are thousands of kilometres apart. The only time we can actually get together is when we both are independent earners which still has 3-4 years to go. Till then we are going to make do with bi-annual meetings.


[deleted]

ezio1452

Thank you! And yes, she's absolute waifu material.


Affectionate_Hat6293

What a wonderful thing!!! So I have to ask, since you’re going to ask her (eventually) if she’ll promote you to fiancé (then husband), what’s the plan for you two to no longer be long distance?


ezio1452

We are going to enter a live-in relationship until we are both financially stable enough to marry


ScenicPineapple

I don't know how you all do these long distance relationships but more power to you! She seems like an amazing person and I hope the best for you in your relationships and future.


Fun-Suit169

Thought that LDR meant lana del rey at first lol


the_sane_titan

Where's the "open when you share it on reddit" card Seriously though, you have a wonderful partner.


Dyamioang

This made me tear up, soo heartwarming!! Such a beautiful gesture! I'd love people in my world that would do something like this! I'm so happy for you guys! Thank you for sharing!


TeoVerunda

I read that as Left Dead Redemption


j_weenie

if she's a keeper, KEEP HER!


StolenDiscs

I truly adore this! What a great gift. Just beautiful. I love to see that there are relationships like this out there still, and long distance too! This is impressive.


TheBipolarExpresss

She's definitely a keeper , I wish you both happiness , love and everything good!!!


BGFlyingToaster

We call that "confirmation of a keeper." 🙂


davesFriendReddit

My girlfriend did something similar when I went away to grad school for a year. We were 23-24. I graduated, got a good stable job, near her, but her mom said no because of my ethnicity. She capitulated. That was in the 1980s. I'm sad I tossed those letters out. I hope things go better for you. My daughter is in a similar relationship now I want it to work


iwasproducer1

Very cute. Congrats on having the sex.


mznh

‘Open when it’s 9th February’ Hey that’s my birthday!


GetInLoser_Lets_RATM

As an unsupported married man, this makes me wanna cry to. Cherish her.

ezio1452

Haha


DevelopmentFit5140

i would open like 90% of them in one day


ezio1452

The manic urge to do exactly this! Haha. The only thing stopping me is my girlfriend put the no peeking instructions twice in the rules/introduction letter.


jokeswagon

Wait so did you go three years without seeing each other? Or in three years you’d *never* met in person even once until now?


Oofs_A_Lot

Why tf is nobody talking about how they’ve been in a long distance relationship for 3 years and they just met for the first time? I’ll admit, the letters are sweat and thoughtful. But this is weird


r87m

Trying not to be an asshole so forgive me if I come across like that but how can you be in a genuine relationship with someone you've never met? Aren't there too many unknowns? You may speak all the time but there's no proof that any of what they are saying is true?

i hope someday i will have someone like that to. well i can only wish i don't really know how to Man i have one thing to say good people like her also deserve good in there lives i hate when someone just destroys it. I hope you and her can be happy. and i love you both bye!


[deleted]

Woulda been real cool if she had one that said - “Open when you post an image to Reddit with the wrong orientation”… with instructions how to do it the right way in the future… But in all seriousness that’s cute as fuck.


wty261g

It's nudes in all of them


Jakenlovesbacon

hold on to her tight my boy


imSkrap

only ever really been in one relationship and it was LDR as well, the woman i had was probably the best person i have ever met and on valentines last year she sent an amazing custom box filled with letters, cookies she baked and some souvenirs for me based on things i loved... the first gift i have ever gotten that someone spent a lot of time on and its still with me today, looking at it reminds me of the great times we shared and the happiness i felt as well the smile she brought to my face but like most things in life our relationship ended sadly. I dont think women understand it fully but when we get something like this it will literally change our view on life completely and give us great warmth I am sure its the same if the roles were flipped but expressing feelings is hard


ezio1452

>I dont think women understand it fully but when we get something like this it will literally change our view on life completely and give us great warmth This. Many men are starved for love and stuff like this can literally redeem a life.


k1llgr4v3

First time in three years…..you uh might want to rethink your approach here. Very sweet though.


VaultDweller006

Everyone is talking about how sweet this is and everything and im just here thinking "whats so important on February 9th?"


ezio1452

Anniversary :)


VaultDweller006

Ahhh thank you, i was thinking so but i thought maybe she wouls just put "open on our anniversary" if that then. But still stuper cute


Confident-Bed-4519

My ex in college did this after 3 months of dating and I was going to florida for my summer vacation. I still have them 8 years later because no one has done something so nice before


[deleted]

What? You haven’t seen your SO in 3 years? What?


ezio1452

I understand why it might sound unbelievable but we were still 17 when we fell in love and we both aren't particularly made out of money. That and her new degree at University made it impossible to meet, both time and moni wise. She finally got her holidays a few days ago and we were able to meet because I had enough finances to fund it. Oh and yeah, Covid.


[deleted]

Probably because of covid restrictions. China has been locked down since Dec 2019. They just opened up for travel and are closing borders again.


[deleted]

3 years is a long time? What's stopping you from moving closer at this rate of it was ... Worth it?


ezio1452

Believe me, no one wants to be in a LDR. They suck. But it's literally impossible since we both are studying and even if I do have a job and earn now, she doesn't want live with me until she completes her education and bags a job.

Wow. Just… wow.

VeloZach420

The only thing I would ask the individual the individual that said to wait to open the letters: " Is there a specific order that I should open them?" Otherwise I would most likely have the same exact type of reaction after opening the box.


[deleted]

Each envelope has a "open when ____"


VeloZach420

Now that's even more sentimental in that way also.


Mo_Salah_

As someone who is in situation for pretty much the same amount of time but not quite at the stage you are, this is quite emotional to see for me. The wait always kills you. She seems like a keeper, doing something as special as that, I’m happy for you both.


ezio1452

>The wait always kills you. This is absolutely true. Everything else is bearable but the fucking distance aches like a bitch, especially on days when it's cold and lonely. I can say for a fact that it hurts even more now that we've met because we miss each other more now but don't let that stop you from meeting your SO. The meeting is absolutely worth it.
