I’ve missed a few days because Nick and I had a night away on Friday which got pretty wild so I have been trying to recover from that while I parent and it was a whole new level of hard. Yes we partied a bit too hard, yes we were tired when we came home but my gosh we had such a good time and really reconnected which is exactly what we needed. We don’t get a second together here and often I can feel myself really drifting away from him when we don’t have that time to connect. Having a night together was that big reminder we needed to make sure we put more time in to us. It’s pretty simple, if no effort goes in to keeping the spark alive, a relationship won’t work.
I think Nick and I are in a really good place at the moment. We have come so far in a year, and I think a lot of that comes down to healing that I have done first and foremost. I feel like as I have grown, he has also grown and really committed to our family more than he ever has before. I feel proud of him and he feels proud of me and I think that’s a really nice dynamic we have. In saying this though, I don’t want to pretend it’s all rainbows because we still have disagreements. Literally every single couple does, because that’s normal! I have never met a couple ever that have not wanted to divorce at some point. Relationships aren’t perfect, they are full of ups and downs. But when you put effort and love in to them, they can be so beautiful and bring so much joy. I know Nick and I will go down hill and be in a hard place again one day, because that’s what happens. But I also know that we will work through it and come out the other end even stronger than before because we love each other so much.
