Relationships aren't all sunshine and magic. I love my fiance, but guess what? Like me, he's a work in progress with unique conditions for being with him. He needs someone to cheer him on at gigs and to help with physical crap on bad days and someone who gets up every morning and loves him despite his old pain, just in the same way I need someone who isn't ashamed to kiss me in the middle of the sidewalk and laugh at my jokes and wipe the chocolate off my face because I inevitably WILL eat like a pig.

But despite the fact I can't eat a Dunkins Donut without making a damn mess, he stays. Is what she does enough to stay
Thanks for the post! Well, that wasn't really what I was trying to say, I don't mind being expected to do some stuff, like helping her move (I fully plan to!), I was pretty upset when I typed that and it probably didn't come out as coherently in text as it was in my mind. I was kind stuck in an "oh #@!! I don't know how to fix this" moment and just made a rage-post out of the whole thing. I was angry at the time because I had intended this to be my night to finally get my place in order and relax and that idea had appeared to have been destroyed.

As an update, we got together tonight, talked for some time, things are much better now... We apparently talk much more effectively in person than over the phone. I really love this girl and am thankful to have her, don't think I'm not!
