Wyoming and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary together. Since he's been in town, it's been a bit of a rough transition. Overall, I think things are going well, but sometimes sharing space with a significant other can be challenging in the beginning.
Our 3 year anniversary landed on the Friday before Mother's Day. I wrote about how difficult Mother's Day was for me this year in this blog post.
Because Wyoming and I had been fighting, neither one of us mentioned our anniversary. The morning of our actual anniversary we got into a pretty big fight before I left for work. Neither one of us said anything about our anniversary and I thought he forgot about it and he thought I forgot about it, but he surprised me by bringing a flower arrangement to my pilates studio after class and giving it to me. Little did he know, that I had a big basket of about 30 different types of candies all wrapped up in my car for him, he has a huge sweet tooth.
I got a bouquet of flowers and he got a bouquet of candy. It was perfect.
Wyoming admitted that he was pretty upset the morning of our anniversary because I was cranky and sad and I didn't mention our anniversary so he "got all up in his feelings."
We didn't go out to dinner or do anything fancy like previous years since I was still pretty sad about Mother's Day so I have a feeling we will celebrate later.
Navigating grief and love and grief and new relationships is hard. But I am trying my best to be happy and to move forward. I am grateful for all of the people who put up with me and my moodiness as I deal with my grief.
