She wasn’t sure if her boyfriend loved her — until audio from a live photo he sent revealed everything
A person might have a lot of doubts, confusion and questions in the beginning of a relationship. However, one woman was able to clear hers because of an accidental photo message. The woman, Alex Alvarez, had been dating her boyfriend for two months and she was not sure about how he really felt about her. At that time, the couple was also used to sharing random pictures with each other throughout the day. The man, Isaac, accidentally sent a voice message with a picture and answered Alvarez's question, according to her TikTok page, @itssalexalvarez. The brief clip received over 10.4 million views.
Alvarez posted the clip on the couple's anniversary and revealed the live photo her boyfriend had sent her. "Happy one-year anniversary to the boyfriend who accidentally sent me this live photo after two months of dating," the text overlay of the video read. The man had sent Alvarez a photo of a plastic coffee cup along with a message that read, "Went to grab a coffee with Jefferson because my girlfriend is turning me into a coffee drinker." However, he had no idea that he had recorded himself while talking to his friend and sent the coffee picture as a live photo. Isaac told his friend, "I think she's the one."
"Very early on, Isaac and I would exchange photos throughout the day. What we were doing, what we were eating...I held the photo down, played it and freaked out when I heard what he had said. I knew I loved him by that point, but being as shy as he is, I was scared to tell him that I had heard that," Alvarez told Newsweek. The woman was a little worried about telling her boyfriend that she had heard what he said. But she told him about the live photo that night and Isaac was really shocked. Nonetheless, he told her that he loved her that night for the first time. The couple started living together soon after that, per the outlet.
"I love how well we communicate, how we allow each other to be our authentic selves. We really just talk about anything and everything. No topic is left unsaid," Alvarez said about her relationship after a year. "I think in an age where toxic relationships are given big platforms and awful stories of betrayal are often shared more, it was important that I share this clip because good, healthy love is out there. I would hate for women to feel jaded and think it doesn’t exist for them." People shared their own experiences in the comments section of the video.
@pinkcakemix wrote, "Almost 14 years of being married and two kids later, I still get a little teary about overhearing him drunkenly share with his friend, 'Dude, you don't understand, I just love her,' when we were first figuring things out (turns out he'd had a crush for years and I had no idea.)" @peanutbuttermaine commented, "My boyfriend was super drunk and told me the reason he wants to meet my uncle so badly is to ask for permission to marry me. My Dad passed away, so my uncle is the closest to him. He never told me that's why he wants to travel to Texas so badly until recently. I don't know if he remembers or not; we were very drunk." In another video, Alvarez celebrated her one-year anniversary by recording a lip-syncing video with her boyfriend.
