Today is our wedding anniversary. I have been married to the love of my life for 19 years now. He is in Houston for a week, so no romantic dinner or other romance going on here. I asked him if he thinks we will make it till 25 or if he will find himself a young(er), slim(mer) and overall more easy going girlfriend to replace me, like so many men his age seem to do.
He assured me I don't have to worry, he is too old for a young(er) girlfriend... Isn't that romantic? It is on the same level as why he will never have an affair: "That is a logistical nightmare!"
Not "Why would I want a girlfriend when I have you, my love?" or "I love you so much I would never even be interested in another woman". Nothing of the sort.
I guess I should be happy with whatever reason, as long as he sticks to his word, right? He has never asked me about my interest in other men... probably knows nobody can come close to the great husband material I have at home...hmmmmmmm
Still, I am confident we will make it to 25 (Deo Volente/Inshallah) even if we are not the most romantic couple. We have gone through so much together in the last 19 years (and a few years before that), we have survived many stressful events because of our love for each other and we have shared many, many happy occasions. Only 6 more years to go to get to that mile stone and knowing our track record, it will be eventful years...Looking forward to it!
