Flaws make for great love

Hello, Motherlovers.

I write to you today as I prepare my partner some burgers.
But since we have no burger buns, I have to improvise amd make him a Texas Patty.
Minus the Texas toast, just regular...toast?
Oh well.
And as I do this, he sits at our office/kitchen dining room finishing some invoices and preparing to load the bong.
Which we have appropriately named The Riddler due to it's green "trees".
Of all to say, my relationship is not the most perfect.
But I love it and would have it no other way. From the day we met to present day. An amazing journey. And August has helped cement and make our bond stronger.
So, yes, It has it's flaws.
Yet one thing my partner and I do a lot of is communicate.
We always communicate - that and we live together.
We are bound to talk at one point or another.
But all jokes aside, communication is key.
A lot of us want mind readers.
I would know. I expect my partner to be one at a times.
Just like he does with me.
Just an hour ago, we were arguing, but it was a quick argument.
But the atmosphere was tense. And I know what that means...
Someone's mad.
But he won't say anything.
So, I keep asking him(I would like to clear something before we go further - I usually don't ask him more than twice and then drop it, soon after he comes over and tells me he hates me as he holds me in his arms and showers me with kisses)
He keeps saying no.
I tell him I will shower.
Once I enter and get ready to step in, he walks in and says, "I was mad, but I can never stay mad at you."
Awwwwwwww...how cccccuuuutttte.
And now after our meal, which by the way I had shrimp and it was AMAZING, here we sit watching True Blood.
And if you haven't seen it, it comes highly recommended.
But then again, it is once in a blue moon when we ever have fights. We are one in the same. We think the same, yet we happen to be so different.
I am basically dating my best friend, well a stranger who happened to become my best friend.
And trust me, we've had our ups and downs, like anyone has, but it is so fucking worth it. In past relationships, for one reason or another, I always felt so naive and immature, never knowing what to really say, or how to act. I would act foolish and make mistakes, but I have learned from all that and I've applied those lessons learned to this one.
One thing I have learned throughout is to not allow myself to feel low or to be made believe I don't deserve the best, because I do. I have learned to know my worth.
And above all, I realized, I don't NEED any damn body in my life.
But if I WANT you, i will make damn sure to HAVE you in my life.
I have roamed this earth for 24 years without you, I will for 24 more and so on, so forth.

And I want him in my life as long as possible.
And that means communication and compromise, if you didn't know the latter yet, well..here's your sign.
The right person won't make you work so hard and when life hands you down blows, they help make life a bit easier.
Just don't settle for less than you deserve.
Goodnight, darlings.
Muah.
