My wife asked when I knew I loved her

TIFU when my wife asked when I knew I loved her.

I said “We were in Rome, the way you knew

so much about the city like it was second nature

to you. But I never felt you were condescending

to me when I’d ask stupid questions. I saw how

much you knew, how passionate you could be.

I’d been bored by all the old buildings, but

you brought it all to life. I think that weekend,

was when I realised you could be the

best thing about my life.”
She didn’t speak for a while, just looked

at me until she said three words.

“Our tenth anniversary?”
