When I first realized that Nic was the one for me, I felt an overwhelming sense of butterflies in my stomach. It happened on a seemingly ordinary day - I had tidied up after they stayed over and found their Vegemite pyjamas under my pillow. The fact that they had left their belongings behind, knowing it wasn't an accident, struck a chord with me. In that moment, I knew that our relationship was something special.
But Nic's initial hesitation to commit to us is still hard for me to process. As we'd been living together since December 2020 and had spent countless hours talking and laughing, I had come to believe that our love was unwavering. However, Nic had always made it clear that they weren't in the market for a serious relationship. It seemed like an insurmountable obstacle - how could I possibly build a life with someone who didn't see us as more than just friends?
It wasn't until we took a trip to Bournemouth pier and Nic told me "Come with me" in response to my fears about leaving them behind that I realized the depth of their feelings for me. The words, though simple, spoke volumes about the love we shared.
Looking back, it's clear that our relationship was always going to be unconventional. We were each other's first loves, and that changed everything. Our move to Sydney in 2021 marked a new beginning - one that I'm grateful for every day.
It's funny how life can work out. Before I met Nic, I couldn't imagine finding someone who would love me unconditionally. But here we are, with two years of marriage under our belts and a cavoodle named Billie at the centre of our lives. We've built a new home in Sydney's inner west, and I know that no matter where life takes us next, we'll face it together.
