We still like each other!

Loving everything about yourself...can help you sustain a healthy relationship.

For 13 years, I've been in a relationship that is constantly withstanding some issue or another. Good and bad...less of the latter is what keeps up together. I firmly believe that because we both have our individual things that we like to do with our lives is how we make it work.

We have plenty of the same interests, but at the same time there are things that I don't wish to involve myself in that he likes. I understand his male needs...such as, his urge to watch a never-ending game of football with his friends...that's completely fine with me. But, I want the same understanding when I'm reading a good book and don't want to be bothered!

He is a hard worker...he's away from home a lot....it was hard for me to deal with during our early years together, but as I became more mature, and more in tune with myself, I realized that he's out there hustling for our family...In fact, just this morning, I sent him a text and told him that I appreciate him for putting in work for our family.

He's also a good motivator, what every I choose to do with my life, he's behind me 100%....

Hey...this is not a fairy tale. He gets on my nerves a lot! One of those things is as soon as I sit down, he asks me to get him something....that bugs the heck outta me sometimes. But I do it...because he will do it for me.

I know now, something that I didn't know years ago..how to balance things. He works hard, but we also play hard when we can! In the meantime....if he's not home, we "kissing through the phone", sending texts, pics and just expressing our committment to one another.

This is often.....to end, we still like each other!
