ORIGINAL: NuevaVida I wrote some really long posts recently about my relationship and some fears I've dealt with. And in those writings I realized how hard it's been for me to admit just how much he, and this relationship, does for me. I talked to him about that Sunday night, telling him this difficulty of mine. He smiled and said he knew, and he's in no hurry for me to get to that place - it will happen when it happens. No pressure, just love. And that love beckons me to keep giving him everything I can. What the connection does for me is it allows me to give and receive love as I haven't known it before. And that makes me so very grateful. I still struggle at times with accepting the depth of the love I recieve. Honestly I kinda like that I do. It reminds me that it is not just a given and that such depth is earned as mch or than its enjoyed The struggle adds an appreciation, I think. LadyPact mentioned something interesting and valuable, regarding the connection and still learning to live under one roof. I don't live with the man yet, and we are holding off on those plans until his daughter goes away to school. So we are very much at the beginning of that bond being created, even 3 1/2 years in. We're only at the tip. But it's there, even if in an infant state, and I am fully confident that it will grow exponentially in the years to come. This is based on a whole list of things, namely our combined histories, what we've taken from them, and how well our lives fit together. I'm at a point in life when I can recognize what we have and where we're going, and what it does for me, for him, and for us. I recognize I might lack credibility in a thread like this, but that's OK. I still feel what is there. And those struggles bring us closer, and allow me to value this all the more. LadyPact's post was a reminder that we're only at the beginning, and makes me even more excited about the years to come.
