“I left my husband of three years to be with someone I'd only known a few months.

We're still together eleven years later and we absolutely sicken other people with how mushy we are. We are still best friends and straight up stupid for each other.

To be fair, the previous relationship wasn't working out anyway. We hadn't been in love for a while and it was going to end in divorce it was just a question of when. I don't regret for one minute the time I've spent with my current husband. I'm the most infatuated I've ever been in my whole life and every day I wake up I'm happy I get to wake up next to him. I'm also shocked that it's been eleven years. It's felt like only a moment.”
