I never miss my boyfriend's hockey games, not even when I'm sick. And sitting in an ice rink has not been a preference to remedy major headaches... but I go just the same.
Last night was no different, exhausted as I was. His housemate decided to join, so thirty minutes before the game, his housemate and I decided to grab a few more drinks at the bar around the corner... just the two of us. Two shots of Jameson. We really didn't need it to talk, or fill an awkward silence, frankly, he's just a real easy guy to get along with, and conversation is substantial, so finding something of relevance to talk about is easy.
Anyway, we get to talking about his relationship, and eventually he comments on mine with his good friend.
"... you guys are like a phenomenal couple. Seriously.... like really good together."
"... of all the girls he's dated, not that he's dated a lot, his other girlfriends were cordial/friendly, but they never made an effort to really get to know us. You really try to get to know me and Damon, and I appreciate that a lot. Since I've known him, and I've known him for a long time now... he's always looking for something... didn't settle... and now, it's like he's found what he's been looking for... whenever we talk, he doesn't have anything negative to say. I'm happy for him. He's had to deal with a lot of very difficult things in his past, so I'm really happy for him."
Hearing that from someone who my boyfriend considers one of his really good friends is very heart-warming. I do try to make an attempt to be a part of my boyfriend's life, and that doesn't always work for everyone, but for my boyfriend and his friends, that did. Getting the affirmation makes is extremely well worth it.
