Seattle writer/professional dominatrix's personal musings, rants and life-trivia...
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of my first date with Max… And as I say every year, I still think I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have a partner who loves me like Max does.
We had a rocky start to our relationship. When we started seeing each other, Max and I were both primary-partnered with other people who were okay with a little bit of polyamory. Maybe. Sort of. But neither of them were okay with us falling in love.
That was a hard time. But I would not walk away from Max, nor he from me. I knew that we were supposed to be together, in spite of everything. Because, as I said to him, way back then: “No one has ever been in love the way we’re in love.”
And we still are.
