The last time I posted I had been dating my man for less than a week. Since then we have hardly been apart and have met each others friends and close family. Everything is going so, so well. We love each other with a passion that, to others, may seem to border on the obsessive but that's not the case. What has happened is we have both found in each other exactly what we want and need. We are so alike that all those little things that can cause insecurities and worries in relationships simply do not occur. I can be pretty sarcastic and pedantic which in previous relationships has caused some major issues. I also cannot stand it when people don't use the brains they were born with and I am known to correct peoples grammar for example. My geek charming is exactly the same so when we have been this way with each other, neither of us take offence because we both get it. I'm not saying we will never fall out or have a cross word because that is the nature of relationships. Whether it's a friend, relative or lover there will always be times when we cross lines or temporarily lose sight of what's important and become insensitive to those we care about. Yet when this does eventually happen, the fact that we have also become best friends will help us to talk about any given situations in a way that we haven't been able to in the past and help us to effectively deal with any difficulties without any serious impact to our relationship.
We're nearly at the two months stage now and yes, technically it is still early days for us but we feel like we've known each other forever. We've seen each other laugh, cry, be angry and drunk yet we still love each other more every day. I had started to believe that love doesn't happen like it does in the films, books and songs. Started to believe that the inspiration didn't come from experience but from a basic need that we all possess. I don't believe that any more. I have turned into a walking cliché where every love song makes sense, when every day at work is just something else stopping us being together all the time. I think about him pretty much constantly and we still count the hours until we'll together again - even though it's rarely more than a working day! One of the worst clichés of all is that we hold hands and look all gooey at each other when we're at a restaurant or out with friends. Previously I would mime being sick if I saw people like us but now I just nod because I understand.
