Richard and I have known each other since about 2007. Now that we are both in our thirties, we can appreciate qualities like loyalty, uniqueness, and honesty in anyone we are around but especially in a partner.
There are not a lot of people whom I speak to from my childhood or past. Richard would say the same. We are both super loyal and caring people, but our circles remain small. We both have experienced our share of hardships too, making it hard to trust people in general. We both love hard. Sometimes that makes it easy for people to use us up and then move on when then they get what they need.
Interestingly enough, both of us have been in long-term toxic relationships. We have gone through pain, healing, and growing and both wanted to fall in love. We were each striving, looking for that real love, and settled with people whom we wanted to mold into the "one".
We both know exactly what we want and especially what we do not want in a partner. We value honesty, positivity, happiness, playfulness, and a team dynamic.
We have known each other for a long while and do not plan on ever leaving each other's lives.
