I had an
hour long PMSal conversation with my boyfriend last night, who although at
moments losing his patience trying to find a solution or a point of the
discussion we were having, he listened to me patiently, kindly and lovingly.
Indeed, I had a point in mind, I knew what I wanted to tell him
but I was terrified of what his response might be so I talked and talked and
talked about everything else, none of which actually bothered me, all while
trying to find a courage and a right way to tell him that I am totally falling
in love with him and in a way looking for his „It's ok, I won't
hurt you and lie to you, it’s safe to love me“ reassurance.
I know, this might seem naive from my side and impossible to
guarantee from his side, but you see, I have been in relationships before with
good guys, bad guys, cowardly guys, loving guys and athlete guys...but this
time it feels different. He is different. I look into his eyes and I know that
he has good morals, he stands firm on the ground, he means well, what he is
telling me is the honest truth, he is young but he acts with an integrity of a
strong, well raised gentleman and he really does care for me.
Is
he a perfect man? Not at all. But he is not running away from problems,
relationship talks and PMSal drama conversations – he stays and he listens, my
weaknesses are his strengths, he makes me a better person.
What I
am asking from him is an emotional security and loving support, in return he
asks me to give him a reality check when he needs it and to give him an
unconditional support with all that he does. Fair enough, cause at the end -
these are the things that are priceless.
Passion and attraction come and go periodically through
relationship, material things (presents, clothes, car, apartment...) are an
instant happiness fix which quickly wares off, all of these material things
need to be replaced sooner or later, while friendship and true values remain to
be the thing we look for from our partner when we are at our lowest.
As this special
person we love fits in between friends and family on our priority list - we
choose who it is freely and are connected with more than just a platonic
friendship. Cherish such person if you have him/her
in your life, as these days – such people are trully hard to find.
