On a random Thursday night I came home from the gym and Rob was already settled in with a glass of whiskey. I offered to do the dishes and make us salad and he stayed in the kitchen to keep me company. He began telling me that he knew no relationship was perfect but he planned on working at it to be a man who fulfilled all of my wishes in a partner, and he was pacing and rambling a little so I just said "Thank you for caring, baby" and started chopping the lettuce. Then he came close to me and said, "So if you'll have me (dropped on his knee), will you marry me?"
