August 19th:
Yesterday was our 10 year wedding anniversary. We’re taking a trip to France next month to celebrate, so yesterday was fairly low-key. Also, I’m very busy at work this week and had to be in the office. I got home from work about 5:30 and Wesley and I went for a walk in the sun. We go for walks in our neighborhood together nearly every day as a way of getting exercise and catching up on each others’ lives. We chatted a bit about our day, then went out for a fancy dinner. It was relaxing to be around each other and not feeling any tension. The thing that stands out most to me about our dinner conversation was that we talked a lot about our other partners and our relationships with them. We tried to focus more on us as a couple, but we realized that we’ve spent so much time and energy on our other relationships that we actually had little else to talk about. This wasn’t actually depressing or discouraging to me, but did motivate me to pay more attention to other aspects of my life. When we got home, we spent some much-needed time focused only on each other and went to sleep.

I went to work and Wesley worked on recording a musician he’s been working with. When I got home, we did spend some time talking, but most of our evening was spent separately in the same space. I like that we’re comfortable doing our own thing around each other. Wesley mostly played a video game to relax, and I spent a lot of time online looking for accommodations for our France trip.
