He said, "I really give a shit." lol, it's hard to give the feeling for this truly romantic phrase, but it was early on, my husband knew I was concerned if he was serious and he wanted to leave me a reassuring message to let me know he was not playing games, but he stumbled trying to say it and out came, "and.... I really give a shit. Actually I don't know where that came from. uh...." He's a confident guy but the fact that he stumbled and wasn't smooth meant that he really did give a shit! :-) It was REAL. Plus it was hella-funny. :-D
