I had dated a few men before I met my husband, some of them were embarrassed of me, some hid me away never introducing me to friends. Others only wanted one thing and some tried to change me, lock me away from people I cared about.
But over 12 years ago I decided to meet someone I thought would be a friend. Who turned about to be the man I truly fell in love with.
Andrew has never asked anything of me, he has never wanted anything from me, he accepts me for all my quirks, annoying habits and puts up with me daily.
I was always told I would never find love, that no one would ever want to marry me. Andrew always told me he never wanted to get married either, but over time I wanted to be his wife. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
Of course we have had our ups and downs, we have been through good times and bad just like anyone else. But no matter what I love Andrew for who his is. Yes just like I annoy him with some of the things I do, He annoys me too. Normally because we are opposites in so many things. I hate being alone, He loves it. I loathe sports and he loves football and cricket. He can happily spend the day pottering around finding little jobs to do, where as I get bored so easily. He loves the stars, the solar system and what may be out there, I love history, where we come from and what has made us how we are. We do have similar interests too.
I love spending time with him and we spent nearly 4 years with each other 24/7 and never really got annoyed, bored or fed up of one another, I know not many people can say that.
He completes me, I love him for who he is, not what he can give me, or do for me, I love him because he puts up with my very bad sense of humour, he has never asked anything of me, he knows I ask so much of myself already.
I am proud of being his wife. He is my best friend he is someone I can tell anything too without worrying about what he might say.
I am not a confident person and do not love myself, but I know he loves me even when he does not tell me. Yes I get scared that one day he will realise and will leave me. But I know that is my head and my own issues and he loves me no matter of that.
I love him more than I thought I could love someone. He completes me.
Andrew thank you for being my rock I love you!
