Quote From: favoriteTrue love does not equal perfection. Perfection, to me, is boring and unreal.  
 
True love is the day to day smiles and silences and words spoken and tears and thoughts shared. True love involves the ability to be yourself and know you are still loved. True love is the realization that every day together is a gift to enjoy. True love is, at the end of the day, cuddling with your loved one and falling blissfully asleep next to that person.  
 
My husband and I have been married for only eight years. We were both divorcees with long marriages behind us. ( I had been previously married for around 20 years and he had been previously married for around 30 years.)  
 
Sometimes, God does save the best for last.  
I agree with all you said.
I had horrible relationships since I was little.
Because of the abuse I suffered at home I think I was drawn to guys who were abusers.
After my longest abusive relationship got so bad I started using the computer as an outlet and met my now current husband,
I DO NOT ADVOCATE ONLINE MEETINGS..... just so that everyone knows I do believe it is very dangerous.
Anyhow he talked to me and he began to tell me all the time to get out of the relationship I was in.... after I ended the abusive relationship and spent many months talking to him and telling him everything there is to know about me I told him I was driving to the state he lived in because my abuser had begun stalking me and I needed to get away.
I met him on July 4, 1997 and we have been together ever since.
He is my true love. He is my anchor.
Without him I would be nothing, maybe even dead.
I know with him I am real, I am loved, and I am safe.
That is all I need to know.
Peaceful wishes,
Tammy
