Finding A Life Partner

We women have a need to find a Life Partner.

Someone to complete us. Someone to hold us and to share our life with.

It is true that as a human being, it is always better when accompanied, than alone.

However, being badly accompanied can also be more damaging than alone.

What do you think?

For me, I was lucky to have lived the chance to have a partner for over 18 years.

It was whilst travelling that I found my Life Partner. My home away from Home. Serendipity you'll say... In Thailand.

Half way around the world I met who is now my husband and the father of my children, an Englishman, in Koh Tao, Thailand.

I had been to London, Paris, Bangkok and I had travelled in the south of Thailand... It's on January 2007 that I first met him. On the front bench of Phoenix Divers, a scuba diving center, where a bunch of friends met up before going out for dinner. We invited him to join us. From then on we became friends... We even did our scuba diving courses together, to become guides.

We fell for one another very quickly and moved in together almost instantly.

When you travel, you try to save money. So it was the wisest choice to make.

I hadn't been single for long, but our minds connected. We had a great connection together.

We did our course together, we did our activities together, moved on to travelling together, and moved back to the UK to his family home together and went back working and travelling together again. We we're inseparable. We we're just happy being together and spending our free time as a unit.

We had gone through more together in 6 months than most people in years. We knew it was something special. Something strong and built to last.

In 2008 we were still going strong and decided to move back to Montreal Canada together and start something. He's 5 years older than me and wanted to establish himself somewhere and start investing, working hard and earning. So we did.

Investing, working, getting our first dog, buying our first home, renovating it together... We were just simply a great team. Great partners and lovers. That's how we knew it was meant to last. Maybe a little naive, but willing to do anything necessary to make it work. We completed each other.

What is important is that you don't settle for anyone, just to have someone.

You peace and sanity is far more important.

Being well accompanied is beautiful, when it's done well. But remember, no one can make you feel whole, other than yourself.

It's an inside job!

REFLECTIONS:

• Do you have a hard time finding someone? And wonder why?

• Have you done your own self work to love yourself first?

• Is finding a partner something that occupies your mind more than it should?
