[quote=Anonymous]Almost 30 years together, and I think it comes down to patience, work, respect, trust, courteousness, communication, chemistry And shared goals. And above all, put each other #1.

We are still best friends… have always been that way. We genuinely like hanging out together. We go on dates pretty frequently and we make time for each other. We have couple friends, I have my circle, he has his. We do a lot of things separately. But the priority is always time together.

We don’t really have shared hobbies. But try to be enthusiastic of each other’s interests over the years.

We’re still very respectful and courteous of each other and I think this one is really hard sometimes. We try very hard not to hurt each other’s feelings purposely which when you’re mad, can be super easy to do. But if it happens, we talk about it in a respectful manner. We try to communicate.

The chemistry from day 1… hot. The sex is amazing. And  frequent. During the times when we’ve felt disconnected over the years, we talk through it. Put in effort.

we have always been on the same page with life goals and what our future would look like. We shared a vision. And therefore we had to share a mission — this meant sometimes making sacrifices for the other person with the big decisions that are usually tied to ego money and careers. We do these things bc of that shared vision and a singular master plan.

We let a lot of the little things go. We don’t dwell.

We carry a lot of the load for the other person. And we don’t call it out, or remind the other of how much work we’re doing or what we think we’re sacrificing. We do it for each other, trusting that the other will equally be doing the same.
