Meeting In The Middle

Meeting In The Middle

Nov 22

Ugh. Sometimes I’m wrong and I can admit even if I don’t want to. I owe an apology to my husband, due to lack of sleep and patience, I snapped at him unintentionally. I think I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have him, and his endless patience. He is the one constant in my life that remains untouched, not tainted. While he chooses to be private about our life and himself, the love that we share is magnetic. In life you just know when you meet someone, that’s the “One”. He came into my life when I was transitioning, without warning, he stole my heart. The light of my life, the driving force behind all of this. I went to him one night during the beginning of the pandemic and said: “Babe you think I can do this?”. He smiled and said yes and don’t stop believing in yourself.

I think this relationship is different because I have been allowed to be myself, “to be free”. Even when we talk or have our disagreements, we always agree to hash it out, never go to bed angry at each other. I know I’ve said it once before, but he is my human love letter. I’m his Baeboo, and he is my Ace. Nothing ever gets between us. As we talk about our hopes and dreams for the future we never stop pushing each other. The partner you choose for yourself is often the make or break for years come. If you can’t compromise or meet in the middle with this person, most likely they won’t be part of your future.

We have survived a number of different circumstances to get to this point, and I’m proud of us. To able to put someone else’s happiness above your own, major key in a relationship. When he has tough days, I’m there to listen to him, and it’s exhausting to be him at times, his job is very stressful. Likewise, he is there for my good moments and the days I just feel like I’m not enough. My built in cheerleader, always has the exact words I need to hear. He’s my flashlight in the dark world we are existing in. Most of all he’s me protection, from his watch your steps as I take my bath, to the stay safe out there for us, I’m his top priority always. I know that I’m a lucky woman to have a man like him in my life , he is an answered prayer.

In closing, I’m looking forward to a lifetime of memories that we are creating. I look back at life before him and realize, I was in autopilot, we both were. He often says to me when did you realize you loved me, I said it’s your voice, because when he talks I feel like I’m home. Ace, you are my goofball, confidant, lover and best friend, and I truly can’t thank you enough for who you are. My partner in crime, my laugh til my belly hurts and favorite movie buddy, even when he falls asleep. To my conversations in the dark, with all of me I know, we will never break. Thank you for teaching me how to love again, both you and myself, for being my soulmate and the eternal key to my heart and my peace. I love you.

Take Care,
