Introducing ...

My Love/Life Partner

On another writing platform the other day, someone asked why I refer to Robert as my Love/Life Partner and not my husband “Hmmm,” I thought. “That’s an awfully cheeky question …”

Then I decided since I’m new here, why not introduce Robert? He and I have been devoted to one another for nearly fourteen years.

As children, we grew up in the same small Ohio town just two blocks apart, although we didn’t know it at the time. After high school, we moved away and traveled our separate paths for the next forty plus years. We met again at a chance multi-class reunion back in our old hometown.

We have chosen to be love/life partners. We’re happy. We’re in love. We don’t ever want to be with anyone else. That being said, no, Robert and I do not have a signed piece of paper to inform the world that we own each other. This was a conscious decision.

Robert had been married and divorced. For him, marriage was a ‘been there, done that’ sort of thing —he adds that it was not pretty.

I was widowed at the age of twenty. It was something that nearly destroyed me. Years later, I married and eventually divorced — twice. I, too, was against getting married again, not to mention, I wasn’t anxious to add another last name to my already lengthy list.

Robert and I are love and life partners by choice, joined by devotion, trust, and love and what we have, what we live every day, works for us.

As they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
