I have been dating my boyfriend for a few years now, and up until today we have never had an argument (not for lack of trying). There was a part of me that worried about this, because clearly I am not perfect. I make mistakes daily (it’s almost an epidemic), yet he had never gotten angry or had a grievance (that he verbalized). Well today he did. No, he didn’t yell or scream. But he was honest about what was bothering him. He didn’t speak to hurt my feelings, he didn’t attack me. He merely wanted to make his feelings known. It was weird because although I knew he was upset, it didn’t feel like anger. It felt like…love. Weird, right? The whole time he was telling me his issue, I keep thinking to myself, “Wow, he really cares about me”. Yes, what he said stung, but it was also true. The fact that he was honest and forthright is something I appreciate because I could see the sense in what he said and I could see the areas that I needed to change. I learned something today. Love does not always sound pretty. Sometimes the people who love you the most are the ones that are willing to say, “Hey, you need to change this”. Today, love sounded upset, but it still sounded like LOVE.
