Have you
ever met someone good? Like just genuinely nice with a finely tuned moral
compass? Someone with realistic relationship expectations and complete
confidence in what you two have together? Yeah, I hadn't either .... Until I
met my current boyfriend.
This is sappy. I'm always cringy when I talk about him. This man is 100% one of my soulmates. Absolutely. He is my best friend. This man is one of my daughter's best friends and such an amazing role model. I have never laughed and had so much fun in a relationship. He's someone I can act absolutely ridiculous around and he is right there matching my energy. His laugh is contagious, and his smile was one of the first things I fell in love with.
He came into my life at a time when I was really hurting. I was still healing and I would have these terrible panic attacks, and he would just hold me. I'd be full-on ugly sobbing and he would just be there playing with my hair while my head was in his lap. He always completely understood me and helped me weather the storms.
It's been almost 3 years with this man. Three years of being treated like ... like how I'd want my daughter to be treated in a relationship. I still have these moments where I can’t believe that I have this. I feel like I’ve struck gold.
They say that the honeymoon phase of a relationship lasts about 6 months to 2 years. With the end of the month being our 3-year anniversary, I'd bet the house that this is the real deal. I found it. ♥
