The Key to My Relationship is Communication

I have been blessed in finding someone so caring and so loving, to share the rest of my life with. Someone so rare and genuine. I have never had someone care so deeply about me, who actually cares to ask me what is on my mind, someone other than my family, to confide in. And every day I realize more and more just how lucky I am.

Since the start of our relationship, one of our strongest points is our communication between each other. We are very honest and are very comfortable speaking our minds to one another. I had never had this before in any of my past relationships, when I would try and tell the person what I was feeling about something that bothered me, usually the other person would wind up getting  upset and then I would feel like an ass and think to myself, maybe I should have just bit my tongue and kept that to myself, and that's exactly what I ended up doing. Until now. With Eric, I can tell him anything and everything on my mind, he understands me. He is always there for me to talk to, even if I have to send him a few text messages while he's at work, just to clear my head, he really helps me out a lot. And he tells me all the time that I do the same for him. Whenever I get upset with him about something or the other way around, we end up getting into a heated conversation about it, and then in the end, we really feel good, it helps to get a load off one's chest, and knowing we can do that, feels unbelieveable. Communication is the biggest key to any relationship, whether it be romantic or any other, without it, it's empty. 

Eric really is my other half..without him, even now, I feel a little empty, he completes me. Every day I miss him more and more, but when I think about it, this distance is making us stronger as a couple, if we can get through this, we can get through anything. All of this will be worth it in the end, when we can be together and be happy. He wants to give me things that no one else has ever wanted. He wants to have a home together, to take care of me. He is my best friend, we have so many things in common, but we also have our differences, which also adds character to our relationship. It's never any fun when two people like all the same things. I went through that when I was in high school with my best friend, she liked EVERYTHING I liked (whether she actually did or said she did, I don't know). Sometimes this irritated me because I couldn't have just one thing that was mine, so sometimes I would tell her I didn't like something that I actually did, and she would eventually stop liking it because she thought I didn't. So it is no fun at all. 

I have my things I like to do, writing and word puzzles, and he has his, World of Warcraft. This is fine, cause we don't need to do everything together. This gives us our time to do things apart, which I think is a healthy thing. Deep down, we are both nerdy people, and I tell him this all the time. 

My favorite part about our relationship is that we don't always have to be talking to be comfortable. We can be walking in complete silence, having nothing important to say and still enjoy the moment by making a silly face or me just giggling at him. This always makes us laugh and smile. It's the small things in life that make it important, you need to enjoy them while you can. 

''Eric, you mean the world to me. I am always thinking about you and our future together. You make me so happy, and with every passing day, I grow prouder to have you in my life. You are going to make an amazing husband, and a wonderful step-father to Draven. We love you very much!''
