It’s pretty amazing. It’s a love that develops and changes over time. We got together in 2004 when we were 15/16. Married now for 7 years with 2 kids.
It’s a deep love, but sometimes little flashes sneak up like yesterday he was washing the dishes and singing Epiphany from Sweeney Todd and I just had this overwhelming feeling of “this is why I love this man”
The growing together and the doing things together, constantly being at the same stage in life has been amazing.
It’s also been great recently supporting each other going back in to education and taking it in turns to piece each other back together.
For me, the most important things for us to have made it this far is us developing as our own person outwith our relationship
Last year, we survived a pretty awful period where we loved each other, but things were just so distant and off. Thankfully we were able to push through and work things out.
And the biggest piece of advice that has stood us well so far has been to never sleep on an argument.
Life is prefect.
Comfortable. We dated in high school and then were out of touch for 23 years. When we reunited and subsequently got married, it felt just like going home.
Not married. But married like relationship.
Met at 17 and it’s been 11 years. We give each other the shits here and there but overall its great.
It’s great. Still with her after 17 years
Shes a very lucky woman
