145 Months

      September 22, 2021 

Our love story with my husband started 12 years ago. It was 2009 when we were officially committed to each other. That was the time when we decided to be together even if we could hurt someone's feelings. We choose to level up our friendship by being in a relationship. In other words "boyfriend girlfriend".

When you didn't yet read my article about Our lovestory: from callmate to lifetime partner, you are welcome to visit my write ups. 

Today marks our 145 months of being together since 2009. Our roller coaster story makes us become stronger until we decide to settle down. We were not a perfect couple at that time. We commit mistakes. We came to the point that we prioritized other things than our relationship. We hurt each other's feelings because of pride. I sometimes cheat when I feel bored and communicate with my exes without him knowing but he is like a detective, everytime I cheat, he always finds out. Haha lol … 

Cheating that time was common for us. To be honest, I was the one who cheated. The reason I cheat is because there were times that I felt suffocated with the love he had for me. I felt like I had no freedom to find happiness in other things like meeting with old friends, attending highschool reunion, and going somewhere without his permission. The reason also why he never let me join our highschool reunion is because I had two exes in my highschool life. He doesn't want me to meet my exes because he is afraid that my former ex will court me back to him (myformer). But because I'm a hard headed type of a girlfriend, I find ways to attend. That's why when he found out, he scolded me through phone calls and texts. I did this several times. We always fight and argue. But then at some point, I realized that I should respect him. I should respect his feelings towards me. I should learn to respect his decision because he was just concerned about our relationship. 

As years passed by, I learned to respect him for I realized that he was right. Everytime he let me join some activities like going somewhere and letting me meet my old friends, I felt like he was not concerned with me anymore. I don't know why I felt that way but the truth is, I missed those fights that we had. Hehehe😁 

One time, I asked him why he agreed every time I had an appointment to meet. He said it was because he loves me and he does not want to lose me. He told me to enjoy life first before we get married soon. By that, I was flattered and thankful that he understood my side. I came to realize that he truly loves me. 

Now that we are married, he always finds ways to make me happy, especially the date 22. Just like today earlier in the morning, right after we woke up, he greeted me with "happy monthsary". Simple yet I felt very special. With or without gifts, a simple greeting is enough for me. But if given a chance to receive one, then it will make me happier. Hahaha kidding😂

Closing thought: 

To love and to be loved is the nicest feeling that we have in our lives. It is more meaningful if you are both in love with each other. To be happy and content are the key to having a stronger relationship as years pass by together with faith in God.
