From shadowtxhorse:


How well do you know YOUR mate? Follow the questionaire to find out!

1. Your mate's name (I do hope you know). - Gary Francis, and Precious online (and from his leather days...)

2. His/Her age. - 53 (2.5 years younger than I am)

3. Type of vehicle they drive. - Ford Focus wagon

4. Your mate's favorite food. - almost anything Polish, or maybe my homemade pizza

5. Your mate's favorite band. - I don't think he has one favorite, but they're all Celtic groups and modern folk artists

6. Your mate's favorite tv show. - Neither of us watches TV at all. He used to like Dr Who back in the Tom Baker years

7. Your mate's favorite fetish. - he'd be embarrassed if I said

8. What about you does your mate love the most? - good question, maybe I'll ask

9. What is the date you and your mate agreed to be an official couple? Hard to pin down to one date. We met online in the winter of 1982, in person in June of that year, I moved in across the hall from him the next spring (83) and we bought our first house together in December of 1984. Generally we consider June 30, 1982 to be the anniversary date (23 years and counting!)

10. Name one interesting fact about your mate. - He can do very professional stained glass work

Here comes the stuff to say "Aww" to!

11. How did you fall in love with him/her? - I wasn't sure until we spent a June night on the roof watching a lunar eclipse and snuggling. A man who can cuddle without immediately rushing for more is a man I can love.

12. What about your mate do you love the most? - His patience.

13. Would you give up your life so your mate could live? - If necessary, yes.

14. If your mate was injured or sick in the hospital, and only has a week to live, would you spend day after day by their side till they passed away? - No question, but please the gods I'll never have to go through that.

And lastly!

15. If you could describe your feelings for your mate in one sentence, what would you say? - I couldn't possibly be as happy and relaxed as I am today if it were not for him, and together we have done what neither of us could achieve alone.

Not as rare as that. The problem is that stable couples tend to drop out of sight. You won't find us in popular clubs or places like that. We number among our friends several other pairs who have been together as long, or longer than we have. And we haven't gone hunting for them. They are folks we knew back when we were in our 20s and all have settled into stable pairs.
