Brag thread!

AWESOME! I'm currently trying to get mine to quit too :| .. How were you able to get him to without being so naggy? I hate having to ask him if he's had any lately but I can't help but be worried/curious.

I never asked him to... Just whenever he said off hand "maybe I should quit" I jumped on it, and researched methods for him, or became a cheerleader etc. This time he quit because of money problems... but I was so excited for him and so proud of him that even when money eased up a bit and he could have bought a pack, he felt so proud of himself he continued with it...On day 8, he almost lost it and went to buy some because he got huge migraines and nausea. I felt so bad for him. I researched into it and listed off suggestions on how to make it better. My suggestion that worked for him was a bath with the lights off and just candle light... Day 8 was the worst day... now that I think of it, it is more than 10 days, because day #8 must have been Thursday or Friday... Anyways... every day since that peak day has been going better and better!

Yesterday, when he left his house to bring out the trash, his mother filled his ashtray with chocolates and pistachios and left him a note to tell him she noticed he had quit smoking and she was so happy and proud of him... I think this type of positive reinforcement is really the best thing to do! He needs to quit for himself... but there are things you can do to make him proud of himself and want to do it for himself.

If he's never expressed the desire to do it, you could ask him casually if he's ever thought of it, and then if he says he doesn't think he can do it, etc. You can try to be as supportive and encouraging as possible... if nothing else, you may plant a little seed in his mind that will grown until eventually he wants to do it!

My SO is studying to be a chef but she is already an amazing one. She just needs the paperwork to prove it. Every time we're together she makes me the most delicious food and desserts. I'm going to have to workout even more than I already do when we move in together! She is perfect for me because I hate cook. hehe

Suddenly I am thinking I should invite myself over when she visits you! Since I love food! J/k! (about the inviting myself over! I am not kidding about loving food!!)

Haha! It's great but at the same time it's bad. She's Southern and I'm sure you know what kind of food they like. lol Fried goodness and other delicious sweets. But unlike her I actually gain weight when I eat this stuff. And I'm about to spend 11 days with her, so I'm hitting the gym big time until then!

My boyfriend is hot as hell when he talks business. He's the perfect mix of casual and confident. Hot damn!

That's the thing, I didn't even know he smoked cigarettes until our first visit. He had come back from getting something from his car and we kissed .. I could so taste that nasty ish and I just kind of asked casually if he had went and smoked a cig. He admitted it, but that he had only had 2 the whole time I was there and he had been trying to quit because he knew i didn't like it. Since I've came home a month ago I think I've maybe only asked him once or twice but I'm constantly wondering if he has or not. I know all of the people he works with smoke, so I worry about the fact that their always around him and I know he probably gets tempted into smoking. Ugh, I don't want to be naggy for asking but at the same time I'll never REALLY know. Thanks for the advice though, maybe the next time I see him i'll just tell him that I'm with holding the kisses from him if he keeps smoking.

My boyfriend is working harder than I've ever seen him work so we can start our future, and he's becoming way more conscientious about money. Oh, and he's the handsomest man in the world.

- My SO is always finding ways to surprise me and to show me -even from a far distance- that he cares and he is 100% into this relationship, just as I am.
- He is also very confident and the type of guy that keeps his word. I love it!
- He is a Mechatronic engineer and I like to hear him talking about the things he does at work and the projects he is involved. I am a proud girlfriend!
- He can cook delicious meals and he takes the time to make them look pretty too.
- He has learned lots of spanish in a very short time
- He is just so dreamy

I am loving looking at all your pictures and so very jealous of the ones of you and yours together! One day soon I'll be able to post those as well.

There are so many things I could brag about about my SO, but he will probably see this so I'll save myself the eye roll. Haha. I just want to brag about one specific incident. I've been having a stressful week and my SO kept asking me what he could do to make it better, I just kept saying nothing that knowing I have him makes it better. Well today, we were talking like we normally do and he tells me that his mom was asking him about what flowers to plant so we were talking about which ones I liked and such. I didn't find this out of the ordinary considering I knew they had a garden and all so the convo concluded and that was that.

Much to my surprise a few hours later later a dozen roses show up on my door step! I had nooooo idea, so I asked him if his mom actually asked him about flowers and he laughed and said no. SNEAKYYYY MISTER. He always does the most amazing things to surprise me I was just so excited I had to tell someone!

I've never uploaded a photo before so I'm not sure if that will work. My SO is an AMAZING father to his 4 children. He works hard at work, has so much on his mind with getting custody of his children and he still has time to remember to tell me how beautiful I am. He is 2nd in the nation at managing his site! He's super tall which made me fall for him even harder since my dad was tall and his eyes are almost mystical with all the colors in them. <3 hes so great hahaha. Ahhh i cant stop smiling.
