Like most of us in here, I’ve had my fair share of lvm relationships before I met my current partner. I posted yesterday about him getting injured jumping off a fire truck, and he’s been home from work for a month. He’s always dabbled in stocks and crypto trading, but he has essentially taught himself to be a day trader with his free time. He has his masters in mathematics so he’s got the mind for it. And he has really good days and some days where he’s a little bummed that a trade he thought would go well didn’t but overall he’s done pretty well and I’d rather him do that then play video games all day right?

So last night he was like I need to get something off my chest. And of course I’m like oh god, what. And he goes “I just want to make sure that you know that all this trading stuff, even if I get stressed about it, it’s all for you. It’s all for us. So we can have the life we want and go on trips and plan the dream wedding and not have to worry. When I ask you what you want, like where you want to go on our next trip, don’t worry about the money side because I’ve got you. This is all for you.”

I’ve never been good at accepting gifts or letting other people pay for me so it’s a thing I’ve been learning to be more comfortable with since meeting him. If any of you have seen the show West world and the hosts have a prime directive (we love that show) - he told me his prime directive is taking care of me. That’s a HVM.
