Me and Francy is blessed because we started this relationship on a ‘best-friend’ basis.

As in with no (obvious) romantic motives, I can talk to her, she can talk to me. Since way back, I think 15 years ago.

And I really think that’s the thing that has been keeping this healthy relationship up until now.

Is it always rainbows?

Definetely not. But when the storm comes, at least we talk bluntly about it. What cause the storm? Anybody at fault? What are the consequences? What can we do about this storm? Are you afraid of the storm? Why? We can talk about it, and most of the time, without raising our voices.

I don’t think I will be this ‘sane’ right now if it weren’t for this open communication thing. It’s everything.

You feel that you can be whoever you really are, and you feel that you are not alone facing this life when you can talk to your lifepartner.

I cannot imagine that after a hard day, coming home I need to pretend that I am someone else and I cannot share how hard my day has been. Now that’s insanity.

So talk. And you. Shut up. Listen. Wait your turn.

Edward
