How I know I've met my soulmate

Okay I know, it's a little cheesy but hey Valentine's Day is around the corner. Then I was reading this about how do you know if you've met your soulmate and I thought I could share a couple points of my own.

1. He puts my needs in front of his... and so do I

No it's not done in obligatory  reciprocation... or well it is, kind of. But after being together for over five years, putting one another in front just comes naturally.

2. Same goals/visions in life

I'm pretty sure when we first got together, it wasn't really the same. After all we were in love and everything was covered by smoke screens. But as the weeks and months go by, we slowly gravitate towards the same ideas of life. 

For example - marriage and children. Something that A LOT of people have been asking us about. Somehow or rather we've gotten to a place where we both agree that the only difference between a married couple and us now... is a piece of paper. 

3. Best friends and lovers

This is so true. While we are wildly attracted to each other, we are also best friends. We are together pretty much all the time (except when we are at work) but we still have plenty to talk, laugh and dance around about. 

It gets painful for me (more me than him, I suppose) when we have to separate even for a couple of days. I confess, every time he leaves - I cry. I cry like he's just broken up with me. I cry like some one close to me has just died. He on the other hand, isn't that all visibly upset, that's all.

4. The little things

• So he's got a bad back, so I give him as many massages as he needs (and that I can). 
• He tells me all these funny (albeit sometimes facepalm inducing) jokes and riddles that keep me laughing. 
• Every once in a while we'll publicly show off some cheesy PDA. 
• We also mind our Ps & Qs (even to this day)

5. He can tell...

Whether I'm having a bad day.... if my period is about to come... or if I'm stressed. He's that intuitive. Instead of leaving me alone to deal with it... he comes up with ways to help me deal.

So yeah that's my list of how I know. What about you?
