Love is...

I remember a film where someone said love is what is left once all the excitement of romance is worn off!

I think this is very very true. Anyone can be loved up after two months of dating. Dating long term is trickier!

I got to work today and got a surprise note from Daddy saying how much he is going to miss me today and I know he genuinely misses my company! Even after 6 years we hate being apart even for a few hours! I love the little things he does for me. He has given me 3 amazing surprise gifts this week each make me feel so spoilt and important.  

Few of my friends have stable long term relationships, most of those that do have very stale ones... I always get asked what makes us work and keeps us so loved up despite having been together for ages and ages.

If truth be told it is hard to put my finger on it. I think not having kids is a big help. My body is still in exactly the same state it was when I was 16, if anything I would say things are better, I am slimmer and in better shape. I am very very lucky. This has helped with my confidence. Daddy also keeps his body in excellent shape too!

Not having had children has helped too. I adore kids but I don't want them and never will. They are very inconvenient in my view and they don't suit my lifestyle. I would hate to have to look after kids! They are so much trouble. I see my sister in law, she has stretch marks like you wouldn't believe, baby weight she can't lose, she is always busy all the time and they have little or no time for intimacy. Personally I don't know how people raise kids. They must either be superhumans or take some sort of drugs to keep them sane and awake! I still need to mother things but I mother my cats and animals.

Financial stability and living within our means has helped too. We always have enough money and we live a nice, but sensible existence.

Plus, we committed so early, we moved in after two weeks, we are totally tied to each other, we are more or less the same person. Our fates are linked and we spend sooooo much time together. We do everything together! I think the fact we are always together is what makes us so successful!

But the main thing is why we got together. I loved him from the start because he was amazing in bed, kind to me, he was very handsome, a great person to be around and I liked his company!

My friends seem to be obsessed with money, looks, careers and prospects when they choose a partner and when they have they don't really commit... and think that is why my relationship is such a happy one... and I thank my lucky stars I have the best owner in the whole wide world!!! xx
