This will not be a blog where I bitch about Maxwell. I have nothing to bitch about. But since I posted two really pathetic posts last two times I was here I decided to give you something with more content. Being with Max has been the best thing to ever happen to me. Maxwell will always be the best thing to ever happen to me. I plan on forever with this boy. Now whilist he's the sweetest thing in the entire world, he does have his bad moments. And usually these bad moments are triggered due to lack of proper insulin coverage.
Now I'm not an expert on the whole diabetes thing yet but I can tell you when Max's sugar is too high just by his behavior. He turns into a hot mess of grumpy aggravatedness. Dating a diabetic teaches you that you can't ever hold grudges, ever. Sometimes people act a certain way towards you because of outside reasons that are bothering them and you can't hold bad behavior as a mark against someone forever. If I held a grudge against Max everytime he snapped at me because of his sugar being high, our relationship would go nowhere and would probably have ended right here and now.
Dating Max has also taught me that you really have to get to know the one you are with. I know Max enough now to know that when he turns into a raging doucher, his sugar is high because that's not how Max really is. Max is a GIANT teddy bear. He may not look it and he probably won't act it when I'm not around, but you see that boy with me and that big pile of muscle just melts. He calls me beautiful all the time, gets things for me, rubs my back, gives me lots of hugs and kisses, and neverrrrrrr snaps at me. Unless I snap at him first, he never snaps at me without good reason to unless his sugar is wonky.
You also learn patience. You learn not to get mad because of one sentence thrown back at you with attitude. You learn to take a deep breath and talk yourself down from smacking him inside your head. You remind yourself that he's not usually like this.
My boyfriend is amazing and these are all lessons anyone needs to learn if they want a successful relationship. Among getting to really know your partener, patience and not holding a grudge, I will share in tomorrow's blog my tips for dating and trust me, I have the experience in what NOT to do when it comes to dating.
You know, if Max would actually watch his diet, he wouldn't have to worry so much about his blood sugar (JK) :p
ReplyDeleteThis is true. And I fuss at him. Often.
