My boyfriend and I recently went through a rough patch in our relationship at the end of October. At the begining, I had the feeling it was going to be our longest and hardest obstacle yet, and what did I do? I went out and bought a cute journal and some nice pens. Even though we were arguing almost daily, I wrote down when I could manage to squeeze some time everything I love about him. Some days I could hardly manage to talk to him, fearing the dread of another problem popping up, and I would still manage to fill a page. On here, I have preached honesty in a relationship, and I do value honesty greatly. However, I have been writing in this journal two days shy of two months and have not mentioned this book once. It is killing me to keep something that has become such a large part of my life a secret from him, but I do it anyways. Writing in that journal makes me relive our happy moments, and there is no shortage of those. When we are arguing, writing in that journal keeps me cool and level headed. I keep this journal a secret, however, as I write it to remind either him or I why we are in this if it ever gets that bad, and I have never been on the verge of breaking up with him, nor he I. Him and I fell for each other quickly, and we both have the feeling that we're here to stay. I know that is the goal of any relationship, "in it to win it", but even our families and friends sense something different in our relationship. I have been with him less than nine months when I write this, and many would have given up or moved on when we went through what we went through after such a short period of time, but I am glad I stuck through, and I am glad I write in this journal.
I just hope I never need it.
