Anniversary of sorts

R and I completed 10 years of knowing each other on Saturday. Knowing does sound rather strange, but i cant say meeting because we did not meet until later in the year. Ours is a very unromantic, boring story. He placed an advertisement on an internet website and I responded to his ad. The rest, as they say, is history.
10 years. It sounds like such a long time but i honestly dont know where the time has flown. We have been through some real rough times as well as had some great times and overall, its been a great ride. I honestly did not think I would survive in any relationship for this long.
11th April was the day I responded to his ad. We spent the good part of Saturday, curled up on the sofa, reading and re-reading all those emails, punctuated by shrill cries of attention from K. The man has saved every single chat and email that both he and I sent. This when I was quite convinced that the man did not have a single romantic bone in his body. Then he goes and does a thing like this. He got me a card and some flowers and me in my inimitable style, got him nothing 
.
Time changes so many things. I cannot believe some of the things I said then – truly cringe-worthy and totally of the what-was-i-thinking kind. I must have been drunk or smoked pot, to say some of the things I said. The man, on the other hand, has been fairly consistent and is still repeating some of the things he said then. Either he is a bad communicator or I am a stubborn mule. I suspect it’s the latter.
Happy corresponding anniversary. Here’s to many more happy ones.
