@HereComesTrouble99 i hope the slobberfest ne'er ends for @Alora23 & @Hoz, no matter how much i might tease 'em.... it's just a gentle ribbing 'cause i am jealous i was ne'er so lucky in love as they are. @Ravenbird30 nothing lasts forever except misery & sorrow according to Peter Steele, but, their 1 year of love bests all expectation
I wish them both happiness for their rest of their lives. I love them. But being in the middle of my 4th year now with Tom, I've been down that road and I wish things were the way they were again during our first year.
I've been down Victoria's path too. I was once in an 8 year relationship back in my 20s. Over time, we started to argue more, fight more, to the point where at the end we didn't even sleep in the same room anymore. We knew it was over at that point.
I don't see Alora and I ever being that way. We both are the type that wants to see the other happy. We have only had one argument in our year together.
Relationships are often hard work, yes. But in the case of Brett and I, it is made simpler I believe for the very reason he stated. I strive to see him happy. He strives to see me happy. When you have two people who share that mindset, it is difficult to have things go wrong. It is generally when one side becomes selfish is when a relationship falls apart.
Now if only I could find a caffeine addict, total goofball and loudmouth, someone who loves to laugh and makes others laugh, has a cute face and a nice ass, then imma be set for life. Wait I found that person and it's ME! Imma go ahead and marry mahself!
