What’s the most romantic thing that you’ve seen in real life?

Oh I have a good one.

So I was at this Party. At around 6 in the morning, we are just sitting and talking drunk shit. A man and a good looking woman are sitting next to each other. The man looks at a couple that is making out and sais: "I wonder if I could still pick up girls. But I think that's over for me." So she sais "you know, promise me that we don't start a weird situation now, you are married, I want to keep our friendship. But I think you are very attractive and yes, you definetly could still pick up a girl." "Ok", he sais, "got it." Silence.

Then he picks his phone and shows around a picture of his son. "Isn't that the cutest kid in the world!" We all agree. It was really a beautiful son. Other drunk girls get into the conservation now. Proud he sais "And you know, his beauty he has from his mother. For 13 years now I'm married to the best woman."

Dude, all the girls were melting and fascinated by this husband, they couldn't believe this situation. Me neither.

So this was the most romantic thing I've ever seen without the SO even knowing about it. A man who stood for his wife when he had plenty of opportunities. I don't know if I would be so strong. After 13 years.
