Having done all of my chores of the day, including completely mopping all of the floor space I sat at the computer and tuned into Richard Newman on Gaydar Radio who had a caller on the telephone saying that today was to be he and his partners Civil Partnership. In just a couple of hours they would be tied in marriage. Richard asked the caller how long they had been together. 9 years said the chap. Then Richard asked him, Do you still love each other as much now as back then?. The chap answered, If not more.
It was almost enough to bring a tear to my eye. Dusan and I often discuss that. How we love each other as much today, if not more than we did over five years ago when we first met. Good luck to the couple, may you have a lifetime of happiness together.
Over the past few weeks several of my friends have talked to me about the past year and how fast it has gone. Next month is a year since we got married. Dusan moved in almost 18 months ago. As we have always said when people have asked, How do you knmow that his the right one. You simply know when you have found your soul mate.
Some of our closest friends had their reservations as good friends would. Worried that you are rushing into something and that you are just caught up in the emotion of the moment. Of course not all of them got to meet Dusan back in the early days. I kept him hidden from my family for a fair while as introducing the folks is a big step.
It was nice to hear my friends say at the weekend that they are so pleased for me and what a lovely man Dusan is. How happy they are for us both and they were happy that we were so happy together.
I wont claim that its all a bed of roses. Everyone has their disagreements but all in all its been a fabulous year. We have finally made the move back to London and are able to have a social life once more and we are far closer to all our friends.
This afternoon I was watching the catchup of Desperate Housewives as I missed it on Wednesday. As they all waited watching the rescuse services try and see if they could find the missing children under the flattened house my heart felt the emotions they would have been going through. The fear of losing your soul mate. Someone you spent your entire life trying to find and eventually find that piece of Utopia. That has to be my greatest fear right now. That anything should happen to Dusan. When he doesnt come home on time I worry, when he goes to the shops late at night I worry, but then we are a family now. Albeit only the 2 of us, but we are a family and we look out for each other. Care about each other and for once life is not about I or he, but the greater we. Now thats a life worth celebrating. Nowonder this blog is called "Lucky Bitches".
