I know it’s hard not to be an ass. But that shouldn’t keep us from aspiring to do the right thing. No, I’m not always going to do the right thing. I may not be willing to make one sacrifice over another.
But the one constant I have in this universe is my partner. We’ve been together for about 12 years and just decided in the last year to have our first child. I wouldn’t give that time up for anything. We are both completely different people than we were those 12 years ago and I really like the couple we’ve become.
I also love that our family is going to increase by one next year. But that won’t change the time we’ve had together and who we are because of it.
I am fully aware that when the child comes, I may have to make sacrifices for the child that my partner will have to deal with. And I will make sacrifices for my partner that my child will have to deal with. It’s not one or the other.
I’d rather be a little bit of an ass to everyone in my life rather than a total ass to some and ‘perfect’ for others.
