We can disagree, but we don't argue: in the thirteen years we've been together, we have never raised our voices to each other, and certainly never called each other names etc. It makes me really sad when I read on here that somebody's partner has called them a 'lazy cunt' or whatever- it just shouldn't happen. He doesn't annoy me either; he's my favourite person in the world, so why would he?
Life still has its challenges, obviously, and I'm not smug. I recognise that I've fallen on my feet with this relationship- my previous ones weren't like this- and I'm very appreciative.
