The wheel turns, and people change

Apparently there is a Thing going round. I hadn't seen it, but then I saw wildeabandon's answer and requested a year. He kindly furnished 2011, so here we go:

Commenting to say I enjoyed reading this :-) But I've already been given a year by someone else, so we can skip that bit!

Thank you :)

I realised while writing it that I'm very un-analytical about my relationship, mostly because it's very comfortable and friendly and feels like it doesn't require analysing!

All very interesting stuff. I'm glad you still love the flat - it's the huge difference for me between Ashford and Feltham that I still love my current house.

On the relationship side - yes, that. I get (perhaps unfairly) irritated by people who say that their relationship is going well "because the good times are great". And... no, a good relationship is where you survive and support each other through the bad times, the good times really should be going great as a minimum (and if they aren't then it's really, really bad).

Oh, and I really enjoy writers' triangle.

Can I have a year?

[venta]

I'm glad you like triangle-ing too :)

For a year, I don't know whether I should pick one ages ago (on account of v. long-term relationship) or a near one for examining small changes. Let's say a half way house of 2005.

Apropos of nothing very much, a browse through old LJ posts reckons 2011 is also the year I started making Bento boxes to take to work for lunch. I still do that, although like many things it's been lightly in abeyance this year due to circumstances.

(Today, paté and lettuce sandwiches, and some crudités. Not very Bento at all :)

I'm glad you're happy and, as a concerned other, I'd underline everything you've said about ChrisC's behaviour over the last seven months. He is a STAR! No, I didn't miss out an "m".
