It wasn’t the perfect anniversary. We argued. There were some tears on my part. In the end, it was the anniversary that we needed. We cleared the air on some issues and I was able to speak about things that I was worried about. We went for a walk, shared a nice dinner, had s**, and fell asleep together with a smile.
This is the relationship I want. One where we can talk about difficult things and hear one another out respectfully. One where we bounce back from it and go on to have a nice day together. One where we never forget to say ‘I love you’ before bed.
