Making your love last

Oh boy did I think of a good one today. I actually think it popped into my mind last night but whatever triggered it then surpassed it by all means this morning. I'm still very stressed and upset, reprogramming my mind you might say, lol. So my thoughts today are very centered on 'why am I still sticking around? I am miserable.' But then I have to take a few steps back and ask myself "is it always this way, only sometimes, more often then not or not so much?"
So once I figure it out, and by god this is almost a daily thing, I chalk it up and decide that it's only sometimes, you know just once in a while and it's totally worth saving this relationship. Very, very hard to do.
Seriously, did I just do that? Me, the girl who proclaimed she would never be in a relationship with one person for the rest of my life, and left every other relationship I was in at the first sign of trouble? Crazy especially if you know me or can relate.
I had a bad relationship before this one, but I stayed almost 3 years because I had a kid. Worst mistake of my life, but I guess that's what keeps me here in this one. Things might be little off at times, life maybe stressful, and we may severely disagree most of the time, but it is so much better than I had before.
And well I have to accept that the world does not revolve around what I want. So what if he doesn't want what I want, so I don't get my way. And so what if we have different schedules and at times we get upset when our sleep is interrupted or maybe we butt heads when raising our kids. Things happen, people even change, life changes but true love doesn't change. So I have figured out that I may have to "REPROGRAM" my mind EVERY SINGLE DAY but the truth is that he is my best friend, and even with his flaws I fell in love with him for his assets, and well I've even grown to love those annoying things I didn't use to like anyway.
So when I begin to have a bad day, I take a moment for myself and remember why I'm here and why I want to stay.
