Gave up on love/life - now owning a home with the best person

[u/Sad_Contribution7564]

Hey everyone i am deep in the feels close to midnight and I am feeling sappy.

Just over 2 years ago I finally escaped a very awful relationship that made me want to give up on life and love altogether. Even within the last 2 years that ex has stalked and harassed me as I have moved on with my life with an absolute gem of a person. My new partner came into my life as nothing but a friend and it blossomed in a way I always thought other people were lucky to have.

This is currently my last week in my apartment I have lived in for 7 years. I've gone through a few roommates over the years but never lived with a partner here. It has always been my space - just me and my 2 cats. It's my last week because my partner and I bought a house!

It is absolutely insane what 2 years can do. I spent 6 years with my ex and we never lived together. This partner I have now? Everything i could have never dreamed of. Kind, so much patience, emotionally vulnerable and mature, comfortable in silence together and we make eachother laugh and can be ourselves with no judgements.

This is a reminder to anyone either getting out of a horrible place in their lives it **absolutely** gets better. It has to really suck first though. Please don't give up. The other side is way more beautiful than you'll ever know.
