5 years
I seem to go though phases with this blog. I might update 5 times in a week, then not at all for 3 weeks. Now this will be the third update, albeit short ones, in a night.
Earlier this week, A and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. I’m quite proud of that. Since we are not officially married, we celebrate the date that we met. We got together quite quickly, which makes the success that much sweeter. It’s not the longest monogamous relationship I’ve been in, but it is certainly the best, the most rewarding, the most enjoyable and the most productive.
What bonds us:
☺ We come from the same cultural background and share similar values.
☺ We are the same age (birthdays are 21 days apart).
☺ We have a similar sense of humour plus a dark and cynical world view.
☺ We have similar opinions on raising children which is very important to me.
☺ We both have a sweet tooth, but that just means we fight over who ate the last piece of chocolate!
☺ He is a genuinely caring and kind person who has a similar set of morals to me.
☺ We share similar tastes in culture, pop and otherwise. He thinks the music I listen to is too depressing but I tell him that Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park hardly sing about puppies and rainbows.
I am so grateful to have him in my life. Not only is he a fantastic father, but he is a thoughtful and considerate life partner too.
