I have seen many couples in my life, some that should be together, some that can't be together, some that wish they were together, some that wish they never had gotten together, some that hope they get together someday, some that always knew they would get together, some that are very unlikely pairings to the outsider, some couples like my ex husbands aunt/uncle who danced at our wedding and everyone just stopped to watch because they just danced so well together that they looked like they had been dancing together forever, but the one that I witnessed on my recent trip to Maryland has left my heart in a state of absolute awe. The couple I am speaking of is Dismh8 & Resable . Considering this is the first time that Kim and I just met them, it was uncanny how we both felt like we were watching a perfectly matched pair in action from the minute we joined them. They compliment each other in so very many ways, it was just so nice being around them. Theirs was not a loud, scream in your face type of love, nor was it a meek and humble type of love. It was solid, beautiful and very self assured. They both have very good conversational skills so it wasn't like one carried the whole show! They had their little private jokes and "ha ha" moments while we were there, but even when you were in the midst of them sharing those, you never felt that uncomfortable uneasiness that one can feel when you are with a couple that seems so much in love. We never felt like we were intruding on their "couple time". We felt like we were a welcome addition to it. Yet the underlying "love" they have for each other was always there. Dev is very much a gentleman in his treatment of Resa (well, all of us girls actually) but most especially with Resa. Always offering his hand, or arm when we were out walking, always looking out for her...just warmed my heart! Resa on the other hand, was not a typical "gushy" female either. She was warm, confident, and loving. A sense of pride over "my guy" yet not territorial the way women can be was so refreshing, it was such a pleasure to be around. We got to hear how they were friends before they started dating (I highly recommend it) and we witnessed the bond they have. There is not a bond any tighter, and they are very secure in their love for each other. I myself have not ever experienced or been in this type of HEALTHY AND LOVING relationship and often times in my life when I have been the 3rd wheel with another couple, I have felt the want/need to steal a little bit of the spotlight/attention for myself and I know I feel jealous and whiney about what I have never had...you know the old "why can't I have someone like that?" This has to be the first time in my entire adult life where I was in the presence of a man who is not only attractive, but attentive, kind, gentlemanly, and just a pleasure to be around (Resa, you know he's a keeper!) and I felt no urge to be anything other than glad that they both welcomed me into their home/world.  It was so fun for both Kim and I to just enjoy watching them love each other...the funny little things they say to each other, the unspoken things they already know about each other, the stolen looks, the way he held her hand, or the sweet and affectionate way he snuggled his head into her shoulder when he was getting tired when we girls were just getting started on the girl talk and chatter.........

I have to say honestly, that if this is what real, healthy love is like, I want some!  However...if I can't have something that is just as real as what Resa and Dev have...then I'd rather be alone! 

Ladies and gentlemen.......This is a real love story!!!  I could go on and on and I actually feel like this blog is not even adequate to describe what they have, it pales in comparison to what Kim and I witnessed!  It was just too incredible and left my heart forever touched!  Thank you two for sharing that with us!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
pm, you absolutely nailed resaboo and devables; i only spent 2 hours with them in an airport (altho' sometimes we have 3-way conversations on the phone) and it is exactly as you write.  i like to think that i have also been fortunate to have met one of the few truly wonderful men still out there; lord knows i had my share of  the unworthy.

 

nominated!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
If you only spend 2 hours in an airport then you spent enough time to experience it, but spending a few days with them would change the way you view love!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
I gotta say that the bond they share is hard to put into words and truly do it justice, but I think you did quite well.  It was so sweet to watch them interact and it was especially nice for me to see/have a positive male role model, and a healthy relationship since I haven't been exposed to much of either.  Everything *seems* to just fit, and flow, and work for them.  I'm sure that's not to say they haven't had their challenges (?), but it's....how do I say it?  They have the perfect blend of their individuality and coupledom.

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
If you were here, you'de get the stuffing squeezed out of you!  Thank you for recognizing and appreciating what we always felt we had first and foremost from the beginning.... friendship. 
He is the first romantic relationship I have ever been in that started out with just being friends.  I believe that had something to do with it.  He  is not perfect.  He is my diamond in the rough.  We have our squabbles.  But he is, still, after almost 9 years, the best man I have ever known.
OK, getting a little verklempt here.... sniffle.

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
lol....stuffing?  Is that what all this flab is made of?  Squeeze away baby

I agree that friends first is a great way to start, because you got to know each other better that way.  And no one is perfect....well, I am....lol, I am rather bendy ya know (I showed my Mom that pic and she wanted to know how I did it!)

Anyway...read what I replied to Dev...it's the closest to a good reply I can give.  But there is something about the 2 of you....just being around you we could tell.

Aw, shucks....(looks down and sheepishly kicks inside of left instep with right toes)....gee whiz.....golly....Thanks, y' all. Resa is just so damned easy to love....you know whut I mean, Vern?

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
You have no need to say shucks or golly, or gee whiz!  I never really "got it" til I spent time with the 2 of you.....and it's hard to put into words what it is....it's nothing specific either of you said or did!  It's more about the "unspoken" between the 2 of you, an aura between the 2 of you....like I said, it is hard to describe!  But I do know one thing...you 2 are the definition of soulmates and I mean that in the most sincere way possible....not the cornball 13 year old who is chewing her gum and twirling her hair.  It's as if it was in the stars and you were destined to be together.  I truly believe that...and YES....Resa is just so damned easy to love!  But so are YOU!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
I believe in the destiny thing. We met in a chat room, y'know. When I got my first computer, I had all but bought it at Best Buy and was almost rung up and out the door when the bitchy sales girl gave me a raft of shit because I made her go back to get the laptop bag I had paid for, not the one she'd brought up to me. She balked and insulted me and I took back my Visa card and walked out, the store manager trailing behind me. I would not hear him! The deal there was the computer and 3 yrs. of MSN. I went across to Circuit City and got the very same laptop but with 3 years of CS for free. It was a CS chat room that I met Beloved in. Destiny? Oh, yes!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
Destiny Indeed!  It's so rare, and it was sheer pleasure just to watch the 2 of you interact!

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
Nice to hear that that type of love still exists.....

 

I knew it once a long time ago also and know just how special it is.

 

May the good Lord keep them safe and happy for a long time to come....

Re: A Love Story about REAL PEOPLE
I've never known that type of love, but to see it with them was certainly beautiful!  It gave me hope that it's possible!  Even if I am an old broad!
