The former.
I love seeing my family everyday. Waking up to one woman. The little things. The moments of silence and intimacy aren't as taken for granted because there aren't as many of them. But that makes you appreciate them more. I love watching her be a mother. Watching her play with him. Walking in the park with them. Being a father and a family man has brought out new shades of my character and personality as well. I didn't think I could love anything more than I love her, but I love the idea and reality of having a family more than I love her, which makes me love her even more. I love the look on her face when she's panicked about forgetting something, only for me to inform her that I've already taken care of it. I love how she picks up where I lack as well. I love the subtle femininity that exists within my apartment right now. It's just enough without being overbearing. She's left her mark on my place without taking it over, and I love that. I love when I come home, and she tells me something new that my son did that day, then I hate myself for missing it, only for her to remind me that there'll be plenty more "firsts". I just love being a dad. Being a partner. These are all things you can't get with the bachelor lifestyle. It's definitely more fulfilling .
