Eight years ago (last Monday), I disembarked from a train and met the lady who changed my life. Seven years ago (last Sunday), we moved in together. We changed our lives to be together.
We lived half a country apart, I’m six years older and I made a huge lifestyle change (for the better, my liver must be thankful). Meeting her was the best thing that ever and will ever happen to me. Stepping onto that train was the best decision I will ever make.
She has an incredible personality and a lady with natural beauty. She has brought calm to the storm that was me. I’m a better person for being her partner.
Our journey is a journey of love and commitment. Every day I get to spend time with an incredible lady. At times life has not been easy and we’ve worked hard together, a true partnership. Oh and I don’t believe we have ever shouted at each other in anger.
I love my girlfriend more than I can properly express in written form, my english just doesn’t do it justice.
One of the countless things I like about our partnership is the ability to do things our way, together. Too many people take note of ‘how things are supposed to be done’. Too many couples respond to pressure from those around them. A strong partnership of a loving and committed couple can achieve so much more together, we have and will continue to do so.
Eight years on and our journey is only at the beginning.
Beautifully written. My husband moved half the globe (from UK to US) for our relationship. I am so grateful. You’re so right in describing it as a partnership. You both bring different things to it, and you work together in a way that works for you. We celebrate our 13th anniversary this year, and which there have been many ups and downs (and shouting from time to time), I know I am a better person for being in this partnership. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you and your lady many, many wonderful years together.
