I have a picture of me and Mike that I love. I love it because I have never been happier. I wanted to post it in the best thread ever (rainy's) because I feel it's really my best picture...but I didn't because it feels like that's not the right venue since he is in the picture.
So I've been thinking very hard about something for a few days now...it's occurred to me that my genuine happiness is very really linked to my relationship / love life.
I feel like I shouldn't do that...almost like I'm weak for feeling this way. It seems like I'm relying on someone else for my happiness. That being said I've read several articles online about how people who are married and have kids live longer lives so you'd think I'd fall back on that. Nevertheless I cannot shake the feeling that I'm leaning too hard for my own good.
I guess what I'm getting at is what do you ladies think about essentially relying on SO's for happiness? Have my years of being in the BBW bubble of love yourself and be strong with or without him at the size of your choice colored my view on this?
