find the love of my life

One year has passed and things only get better as we “accumulate” life together. Every moment with her is as exciting as it was on the first day, plus we know better how to meet the other’s expectations and unspoken requests.

Our little flat is now nicely decorated and feels so much like home, although I should say that as long as we are together, we are at home no matter where we are.

We haven’t had a single fight since we are together, this relationship has been revealing for me in terms of complete mutual acceptation and trust. It is a new feeling compared to previous relationships, and a completely overwhelming one, in a positive way.
I don’t see any strain that in the long term could undermine this relationship.

All is going so well…
We both got our contracts renewed at the end of September (I also got a salary increase!) and our life together is sweet and fulfilling.
We are still discovering each other and it is a very exciting process.
The last week-end I have left my old place and moved into her apartment.
Happiness is now and I am tasting it fully consciously.

At this point of my life love and work are inestricably interwoven.
Both of us must and want to find a job. The fact that we have very similar, highly specialized qualifications and that if we are to live together, our jobs need to be geographically close to each other, do not make things easy. This puts a strong strain on our will to stay together.
We have talked today and I have found that her desire to stay with me is stronger than her fears. This has brought me great happiness and relief, I was not at all sure that things would go this way. Furthermore, after my offer to follow her to the UK, it seems that it will not be necessary for now. Not that I dislike the UK, but probably Canada has more to offer in almost all respects, but job offers for types like us. Anyway she thinks like me and prefers Canada and will try to stay another year, which means I might not have to turn down the contract extension I have been offered.
I have bought a few extra days to give the final answer to my boss, and now I am hoping she will get an extension of her contract. Hopefully we will know in the first days of next week.

I have been offered an extension of my contract here in Calgary, but I have taken some time to answer to my boss.
My girlfriend is leaving in December, she is going back to the UK. I wish we continue being together and although I love Canada, I know the only way to do so is to follow her.
I have asked her if she would like to stay together in her country but she has not given me an answer yet.
Asking has been difficult because I know that there is no certainty about what she will say.
I feel she likes me, but in the past she has suffered from a serious relationship that has failed and now she is allergic to commit herself and do plans.
I hope everything goes well. I am very fond of her, she is a marvellous person and I feel I could spend the rest of my life with her. Having to part from her would be very hard.

Things are going really well. As time passes we have more mutual trust, more fun, more passion, we enjoy more the other’s company and spend more time together. I am very happy of this.
Things are almost never as you plan them. While a few months ago I was trying to make other things come true, which did not happen, I wasn’t expecting a positive twist in my sentimental life, and I must say that now I would not change the course of past events even if I could.

We just had a little row. It was my fault. I am too impatient and I stressed her out. The funny thing is all is ok again in a surprisingly short time, and on top of that it has allowed us to discuss things and improve our relationship. I am happy of that.

The last weekend has been important. After some time of “clandestinity” on Friday night she has decided to “come out”. It was unexpected but I was very pleased, and the following 24 hours have been very sweet and passionate. After two days, I am still overflowing with joy.
It gave me the impression that she is more confident about what she feels for me, and that she trusts that what I show to her is true.
I like very much the kind of relationship we are building. I am very happy, and determined to stay with her, following her to (almost) whatever place she might decide to settle down.

I don’t know yet if she is the love of my life, or if and how long this is going to last, but I know I want to try.
She is so sweet. So different and yet more than ever before I feel it is possible to build a life in which both of us can follow our own aspirations in harmony and mutual respect.
But there are so many variables beyond our control. We are both strangers in a stranger land, with no permanent job and no clues on where we will be six months from now. This sucks!
I am worried, because our relationship is still young and needs to be strengthened, we will not resist separation.
We are avoiding talking about this, but some time we will have to. I am afraid of what might come out from this conversation.
