At the same time I willingly accept that some of our roles are traditional - me cooking, he doing the taxes, for example - mainly because we happen to be good at those things. Anyway if we changed, we'd end up eating toast and tea every night!

With age, we gain realization and wisdom beyond smart. I love how I know longer feel lost when not validated by another, yet also how scrumptious it is to have someone just love me for me! The real topping is finding that "HIM" that I feel the same for - don't you love it???? Congrats to you for having "that guy!"
