19 Photos Proving That True Love Exists in the Real World

People dream about love, make poems about it, and suffer when they don’t have it. For centuries, writers and philosophers have been trying to give this feeling a definition, but it’s not an easy task. And French writer Jean Cocteau concluded “There’s no such thing as love; only proof of love.” And Reddit users have lots of facts that prove It’s existence. So, we’ve made a compilation of photos, explaining what love is better than any words.

“My boyfriend spent 12 hours a day by my side post-hip surgery for a week in the hospital. This is what true love looks like.”

“My boyfriend of over 10 years still surprises me with setting up a cozy bath whenever I’m stressed — I just came home to see this tonight.”

“My husband knows I love iced coffee. He wakes up before me and always puts a cup of hot coffee in the fridge, so it’s cold when I have to leave. He’s been doing this almost every day for 15 years without being asked.”
