2020 has been a total wreck. I never envisioned life to be lived this way. I long for the days of doing life with my girlfriend daily and spending time with lil boy.
But it is necessary to learn to be selfless. To learn that to be in relationship with a single mom and her child is to be not the most important part of her life. She has other priorities. And that's totally okay. Having been in a couple relationships in my life there is no doubt that this one is the most treasured, the deepest and most committed. So during COVID-19, we have been separated.
This is not the first time my sweetheart and I have been long distance but this has been for the longest time. Here are a lessons I have learned.
Communication is the key, No relationship would ever work without it. In my relationship I have learned more than once the importance of this fact. She and I make sure to talk every day, and I really try to tell her good morning everyday. Even if she doesn't reply I want her to know that this woman is on my mind, in my heart and I will not forget to tell her I love her everyday.
Be honest, as much as you need to trust your love they need to trust you. Now there is not much I wouldn't do for my love. And I Absolutely trust her with every part of my life. She has proven time and again she is worthy of that trust. I aspire to do the same. Do not grow frustrated that your love languages are different. I'm learning slowly but albeit very much that I am an external lover, and she is an internal one. She shows her love with beautiful small ways, a smile, a cute note, a compliment. And I wouldn't trade those for anything. Just remember to be committed which leads us to..
Faithfulness,
ALWAYS be faithful. Always believe you two are going to make it. Any faltering leads to wandering hearts and eyes and that's how a relationship is destroyed. I will give 100% faithfulness to her. She deserves that. If its not going to work out break up, but never ever cheat on your significant other. To show true love always be with her in spirit and know that if you are unfaithful, tell her the truth she deserves to know that as well..
Good luck and stay safe out there.
