Hey!

My Baby Siberian Husky

Maybe you don't need advice from another 22 year old, but I'd thought I'd give it a try. I'm female, 22, married for one year, and my husband and I are just about to finish up buying my parents' house. I have a 9 month old Siberian Husky male who is my baby boy, he's so adorable!

My Past Relationships

Let's see, relationships...

I've know my husband for seven years. We met in our freshman year of high school through a youth group at our friends' church. We did date in high school for a couple months, he was the first boy who kissed me, I know sappy but hey. We were immature and the relationship ended.

After this I dated my bestfriend's ex-boyfriend. This relationship lasted 4+ years and included

• two engagement rings,
• one offical engagment and wedding plans,
• two break ups, man juggling and plenty of relationship
• arguments and disagreements, and of course
• a touch of emotional abuse.

This relationship was were I learned how to spot how relationships are not supposed to be. But only after I had expericenced it, nice huh? Hindsight is always 20/20, right?

After this breakup, on Valentine's Day of all times, I immediately contacted my long time friend/future husband, he was also one of the men I had juggled in a hiatus of the last relationship. I apologized profusely for hurting him and was curious if we could try to be friends. He said yes because I was his dream girl and could forgive me. To wrap things up, we fell in love, he proposed that July, and we were married the next April.

Now we are trying to get this married thing down. Balance the checkbook, and hobbies or lack thereof, housework or lack thereof, and now buy this house and putting down roots.

I plan on going back to school as soon as he has worked for the area technical college for two years. Tuition for him and his spouse will be free.

I also want more husky puppies. I love my dog so much just have to have more!

I think that's pretty much it for me and relationships, the two major one I've had so far and hope to keep that way.
Thanks.

Don't Assume

My main philosophy of relationships is don't assume anything. It is something that I always get wrong and try to remember the most. Being female, it is hard for me to come to terms that my husband cannot under any circumstance read my mind, I usually assume that he knows what I need without me telling him.

Relationships Take Work

The other is that relationships take work and they aren't going to feel good all the time, they should for the majority though. That's where the work and commitment comes in. And that love is an act of will we can choose who to love, unlike who we're attracted to I believe there is a huge difference between the two.

My Point of View

I think becuse I'm a traditional realist. I have my own view of how i would want things but also know how things really are in the world. And I try to fit the two together the best I can.
