Just released that I didn't post what I had said when we were talking about our previous Ms...
I said that I don't think I realised what companionship was actually like, as I think it was missing from my M. It felt more like two people going along side by side, but not actually making many joint decisions together. And that's because I don't think we actually talked about stuff to start with.
My R with this man feels more like a partnership, and I know what companionship feels like now too.
Over a year and a half that we have been together and I know that I am utterly in love with him. The attraction was instant, but there's always been more I want to discover about him, from the very beginning, and there's a new sense of my own self, a softer self, that I am slowly finding out about too.
