She loves Her

Not too long ago, I started a tumblr blog to post random snapshots of my long-term relationship… sort of like an online scrapbook.

I did it because we’re both excited about our relationship. It’s the kind we always wanted – filled with a reciprocal, consistent, and healthy love. We have our disagreements, insecurities, idiosyncrasies, and such. But we can honestly say that there isn’t any unnecessary drama.

Our relationship sustains us instead of drains us.

Having a high level of compatibility helps tremendously, as does having a certain amount of emotional maturity. When we communicate, there is no game playing, no name calling, etc. There is minimal bullshit between us. Instead, there is a willingness to admit mistakes; to apologize instead of make excuses; to understand instead of criticize. We know when to compromise and when to “agree to disagree”.

We also understand that the sincerity of our words holds no weight without consistent action behind them.

It’s not always easy keeping up this level of emotional maturity, especially for two very sensitive people. But we know that the work we put forth has both short-term and long-term benefits.

Simply put, we treat each other the way we want to be treated.

Now, I have to get this out because I can already feel negativity trying to creep between the pages. So let me say this to the naysayers and disbelievers:

What is posted on She loves Her is not meant to embarrass anyone or insult relationships different from our own. We are not responsible for any “bad” feelings that may surface upon reading a post.

But I will take credit for any and all smiles.

*grin*

Some may believe that we’re just making stuff up to “look good” and impress others…

Ummm, okay. You can think whatever you’d like, but just because you don’t believe it, doesn’t mean it’s not true.

I’m just saying…

*ehem*

The blog is a testament to our relationship. Some moments won’t be so pretty, but most of them will be…

‘Cause that’s just how we rooooll…

Sorry, it’s late…or early… and I’m getting punchy…lol!

We finally have a stable, shout-it-from-the-rooftops kind of love, and we’re gonna SHOUT…dammit.
