This is exactly how I feel about him. It's not changing, it's not going away, and this is how I know I'm 100% head over heels madly in love. Even though I'm frustrated with him, I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change our rental that needs major improvements that I want to buy, I wouldn't change working on my car with him at 11:00 at night, I wouldn't change waking up at 6:30 to his alarm every morning (yes, even weekends). I wouldn't change the dirty kitchen or his moods. I wouldn't change him. I won't change him.
I just have to be aware, be concious, of how I affect him. I have to realize he's trying to protect me, and I have to appreciate, respect, and be thankful for that. With realizing that, he needs to realize that I'm trying to make him comfortable and realize that I'm doing all I can.
We just both need to realize.
