A friend of mine made a comment about my relationship the other day saying that I seemed to do everything I could to avoid being home alone with my boyfriend and that when she was with her husband just a year she just wanted to be alone with him all the time, the implication being that I'm not as keen on him as I make out. Me and my partner are both mid 40's and have been together a year now. It is true we go out a lot and I like to use my free time to see my friends and family and enjoy visiting and if not that then getting out and about to the shops or day trips. I do think my partner would like to be home more but when we are home he does typically want sex which I enjoy but not as frequently as him.
I do like him a lot it's true that when we met he wasn't the most handsome guy I've dated but compared to the others he's been really reliable, honest and kind which stands for a lot. I've had boyfriends I have been crazy about who treated me like crap. We are planning to move in together later this year and I am worried about that as I've never lived with a partner before, he has been previously married and divorced. I don't know I just feel a bit hurt and upset by her comments.
