You’ll know you’ve met the right person when you spend a day at a hospital together and it ends up being a good time.
Last year my husband needed some minor surgery and so ensued all that typical stuff of getting up at the crack of dawn, waiting in the waiting room for hours, and of course lots of misery on his end after the surgery. And yet, anytime that day comes into discussion, we always say the same thing: it was fun.
We did a puzzle together while we waited, watched that terrible hospital TV together and cracked jokes about it, and all said and done it was a pretty good time. Maybe it was all of the heavy pain killers they gave him afterwards, but I think mostly it was just because when him and I are together, it doesn’t matter what we do – we have fun.
We’ve had fun doing all sorts of things people would normally not think of as fun: buying a car, waiting hours at a bank, grocery shopping, building a fence for our garden, cleaning out our garage, sitting in a parking lot, doing absolutely nothing at all as we putter around the house. We’ve also gone to some strange vacation destinations – places most people would not think of as a place to vacation.
To me, this is one of the biggest signs that you are with the right person. To be happy and enjoy yourselves in the most simple of situations or mundane activities (and in our case even painful ones) – it shows that you can handle just about anything that might come your way. It shows that you think positively about your relationship, even if the rest of the world around you is negative.
What do you think? Do you agree that it’s not what you do or where you go that matters – it’s who you’re with that counts? Do you and your partner enjoy each other’s company no matter where you go or what you do?
I agree, it’s all about who your with, and not so much about what your doing. I was in hospital several years ago and my wife and my brother were there and it was fun. Of course, it may have had something to do with the drugs.

lol Descartess, the drugs might have a lot to do with it
Yep, even chores and laundry can be fun when you’re together
Very big yes! Chores are much more fun when we help each other! Usually when hubby empties the trash, I tag along and help carry stuff just to be with him.

Aw, that is sweet!
My husband (back when we were just dating) was in the hospital a couple years back for almost two weeks due to meningitis. It was pretty tough and really emotional. But I was there trying to cheer him up (even though he was pretty grumpy due to the pain). And I look back knowing that everyone who loved him was there and months later we were engaged. Now we have fun doing everything and anything. Even cleaning up unspeakable messes our guests might leave or shopping for lame things like underwear. That’s true love for your, knowing u can have a good time anywhere! It means that you two want and can make each other happy.
