we’ve been together for almost a decade???

... Read moreIn the LGBTQ community, celebrating long-term relationships is important, as they foster love, support, and understanding among partners. A decade together represents not only love but also resilience in navigating societal challenges. Sharing your love story inspires others. Consider documenting milestones, trips or even day-to-day life. Many couples find joy and connection in reminiscing about how they met and important moments. It's also essential to engage with supportive communities, whether online or in person, to maintain a healthy relationship. Consider attending events or connecting with other same-sex couples. Discussing goals, future plans, and experiences with friends can also strengthen your bond. Celebrate anniversaries by reflecting on shared memories, and recognizing personal growth both as individuals and partners. Lastly, don't forget to advocate for LGBTQ rights together, helping to build a more inclusive world for future generations.

Brontosaurus… Congratulations on 8 years! If you were a Broadway show you’d be a hit… If my husband and I were a Broadway show, we’d be Cats!

Yes it is work congrats on 8 years. I’m coming upon 38 years. The key is laughter, knowing when to concede if you have a spat, not going to bed mad at each other and lots of love. ❤️

I’ve been with my husband for 9 years, almost a decade! We have had a lot of ups and downs. He’s been with me during some of the worst and best days of my life. How long have you been with your partner? #girlpov #lemon8challenge #AskLemon8

A vibrant sunset over a wide, open field, with the sun low on the horizon casting an orange glow. The sky transitions from warm hues to clear blue, with faint clouds and a lens flare. This image evokes reflection and the passage of time, aligning with themes of loss and remembrance.
holiday grief and how it started
Some people wonder why this is such an upsetting time for me, why the holidays hit so damn hard. Truthfully, I hate the holidays. I pretend I don’t. I decorate, I host meals, I smile through it all but it’s just a mask. If I could crawl into bed and ignore the world for three or four months, I abso
