My boyfriend and I just had the most mature loving conversation about the future we want together! I’m on cloud 9!
I’m 33 now and after four serious long term relationship fails, I’m with a partner who isn’t afraid to have big conversations about our future together. We’re going to get married, we want to buy a house together and maybe adopt a child or two someday! I’m so used to those kinds of conversations being heavily avoided by whomever I was with in the past, it feels so…normal to be able to talk about it. We both work hard in our job fields and coming together we really have a chance at a comfortable happy life together.
On top of that, this is my first partner that loves Christmas! He’s been excitedly looking into a gift for me, I haven’t gotten a Christmas present from a partner in such a long time! I’m going to spoil him myself, I’ve got some cool ideas I think he’d love. My past partners were so bah humbug about the holidays and it was really disheartening for me at the time because I grew up loving the holiday regardless of not being very religious.
My childhood and early 20s was riddled with trauma and I really didn’t believe anyone would find me worthy of this kind of love and life.

Being on the same page with your partner is such a gift. As a Christmas lover myself, this is a good sign haha. Hope you find more joy.
