Relationships are not easy and they're damn well not perfect. Every couple fights about something eventually and the honeymoon stage does not last forever, but it's important to not let those fights define you. You can't choose to focus on the hate, you have to choose the love.
I fell in love with Armand for so many reasons, one of them being he's not afraid to be himself and break the rules. I love that he doesn't get embarrassed in public and will do any dare or what are the odds game. It's something I have always admired about him, his daring and unapologetic way to live life.
Lately we've been fighting over the cliché fight of all relationships - the dishes. I usually cook dinner and then he cleans up afterwards. However, sometimes he forgets or doesn't clean "up to my standard" of cleaning. It was very frustrating for me and I started to take it personal. Then someone in class brought up this photo and started asking me about it... I took this photo when we first started dating because I thought it encompassed everything I loved about Armand - that he isn't afraid to break the rules and be himself. He doesn't do anything to hurt anyone on purpose, sometimes he just is busy living his life and is too unbothered to be constricted by unimportant rules. I don't know how it happened but it just clicked, I can't be mad at Armand for doing something that is partly the reason I fell in love with him. So yes, I still ask that he washes the dishes (I know you're reading this Armand!) but I'm going to try to understand that if he forgets or chooses to do them later it's not an insult to me. It's just Armand being the same person I fell in love with. It might not make sense to other people, but hey that's love sometimes. xx
