I love that when we met for our first date, nine months ago, I had no idea how important you'd become to me. I don't know if I ever wrote about mine and john's first date, but I giggle to mysel...

Love

I love that you've spent a fortune helping your mum out this month and told me that you felt bad because you couldn't spoil me more for my birthday, you then turned up with massive flowers, a spa...

Good man

I love that you are so close to your mum. I love that for 30 years, it's been just the two of you since your dad died, and you want to take care of your mum. I love that you've paid half your w...

Emotional

Whenever I'm sick I cry. For absolutely no reason. When I'm sick, I'm completely on the edge emotionally. Tv adverts for cat food can make me cry. So imagine my reaction when john text me this:...

In sickness and in health

I love that we are both sick, and even though you want to hibernate when you're sick, you came to my house, and we looked after each other, and were two germ ridden lovebirds. I love that you m...

That boy

So I'm working tonight. I went to see john before I came to work, at his uncle's house, so caught up with his mum and his uncle too. Was a bit of a misery on the quiet, I'd had a terrible night i...

That three month thing

I think I've been having a little freak out, but I've only just realised. John and I have been together for three and a half months. Half a month longer than the majority of my relationships over...

Burning the candle

John's supervisor has been suspended. Which means John is covering his hours. He's working 8-6 five days a week then 8.30-1 on a Saturday until this mess is sorted out. He's not happy, he's boo...

Quality time

John just added me on Skype, so he could skype me in a quiet moment at work because he wanted to see my face because he didn't see me last night, bless him! He was having his ear bent by his fr...

The good stuff

I appreciate that John came to stay last night, foregoing his only lie in this week to stay with me and get up at the crack of dawn when I had to leave for work. And I love that last night, whe...

Even keel

John came round last night, as he said he would, and all is well. He was barely through the door before he wrapped me in a big hug and whispered that he had missed me after not seeing me the nigh...

Messed up

I have issues. My exes have totally fucked me up and I've just been from one horrible ex to another so I haven't even realised how badly I'm messed up. John went to his friends last night, whic...

Comfort

I'm incredibly lucky to have met John, he makes me unbelievably happy which is something I haven't experienced in a relationship for a long time. I know it's still early days but people have u...


Book Description

I read a diary a while back where the writer wrote one entry each day with a little note about why they appreciate their other half. They started it when things were difficult in their relationship as a memo to themselves that even in the tough times they still appreciated things about their partner. I suppose I like the idea because it’s easy to get complacent. It’s easy to forget what’s good and focus on things that irritate and get bogged down in day to day real life.

So this is a record of this chapter in my life, to a man I love and who I believe genuinely loves me.
