My husband has become who I always knew he could be.
We’ve been together almost 17 years. Tons of ups and downs. His addiction. My constant feelings of abandonment. Struggling and maintaining all on my own with only glimpses of the person he is now. And I’m so grateful I stuck it out. He went from never acknowledging birthdays, anniversaries, special holiday moments, to being the first one every single time. To sending me text messages and asking about my day. Taking care of me. Finally feeling like he sees me 100% of the time. I’m so proud of him. Getting sober was one of the hardest things I know he’s ever had to do. But it’s officially been a little over a year and I’ve never been more in love with this man. Everything about us is more alive. I always knew this is who he could be. This is why I held on so hard. Should I have? Probably not. But I did. And I’m glad I did. Sometimes relationships are just a lot of work. But some of the best things take time. That’s it. Just wanted to say how amazing his is.
