Sometime between my optimistic love is all around phase, and my all men are bastards phase, I have found myself fighting the need to not wallow in the world of "I will never find someone".
I have slowly but surely been turning into a cynical 30 something- sad but true. That being said my saviour has come in the form of my favourite couple, lets call them Mr and Mrs AB. Whilst spending New Years with them they managed the impossible- restoring my faith in relationships (whisper- and men).
Mr and Mrs AB are a fabulous married couple. Mrs AB and I are friends. She is a great giggle and we always enjoy each others company. Mr AB is her patient husband who always keeps smiling even when Mrs AB and I turn into two overexcited females when discussing shopping and other frivilous topics, he just always looks at us with an amused look.
They are truely a couple who have found the holy grail of marriage. They have a love and respect for eachother that we all seek but rarely find. I look at them and think "ahhhhh", and having spent New Years with them, I am now thinking "double ahhhhh".
Mr and Mrs AB are not alone, I would say 90% of my friends are either in a long term relationships or already married. It is only I and one other friend who still grace the land of singledom. We are eachother's cheerleader and always discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the single life. She knows who she is.
Coming back to the topic at hand, whilst in NY I was constantly around Mr and Mrs AB, they made me believe in the fact that there truely is someone out there for everyone. It is not about finding the perfect man, but about finding someone who can love you for all that you are- the good and the bad.
So Mr and Mrs AB, thank you for restoring my faith in finding love. If I even find a slither of what you have, then I know that I am going to be happy woman indeed.
