The ever after, after:

[Jack_Three_Beans]

Lessons I learned and try to implement on at least a weekly basis.

I ask on a semi frequent basis:
"Am I doing ok by you?"

We started a ritual 3 kisses every night that started when we started sleeping together again. 8 years later...

I keep my stuff on my side of the bathroom sink. Period.

I listen to her, I don't try to solve her problems. She likes to vent. If she keeps talking about a problem, I'll ask her if she wants me to keep listening or to offer advice.

When we get into an argument, I put on the brakes instead of screaming and waving my arms as I gleefully dive over the edge.

I ask her if she needs help.

I thank her when she does stuff in the house.

We do stuff that makes us a team, games and shopping.

I sing to her in stores.

I write her notes.

I don't interupt her.

I remind myself that she is my best friend, and to not take her for granted.

I tlk to her when i am upset with her instead of letting crap fester, I expect the same from her.
