This piece is fictional but in part a true story, it's taken from bits of conversations I've had with various friends, and my best friend. I just think that people nowerdays are so cynical of the idea of love as a subject and all that it brings, some people believe they are incapable of it for some reason or another, or have been led to feel this way through their own experiences, but where ever I can I like to tell people that it is possible, not change their mind, but at least make them see that it could happen, if only they let it. So as it is so close to Valentines Day I thought it apt to write a piece about it I know that so many people feel like this and I'd like to think that everyone somewhere has someone they can open up to. Even though it's not true all of the time I just wanted to write something truthful and stripped back, no dramatic fighting or screaming or people with powers or anything of that kind, just two people, two bestfriends talking about their lives. Realising the journey they've gone on together and sometimes alone Written by me ShelleyAnderson Please do not steal it, it's really quite personal and means a lot to me

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.
