Full disclosure, my husband and I are a terrible cliché.  We were cast as lovers in our high school play, then we were lovers in college for real.  Traveling companions on a gap year and cohabiters when we returned.  We got kittens, then a hamster which wasn’t ideal.  The kittens are now cats and the hamster’s body was never found.  We broke up once and I begged him to take me back.  He asked me to marry him and I did.  He followed his dreams to drama school and I went unwillingly, scared to leave my friends.  I told him he’d owe me for the rest of his life and he makes up for it every day despite it being the best thing we ever did.  We got a dog who is scared of the cats but bigger than them so it works and we tell each other every day that love each other and remind ourselves we are lucky.
