Man of Steel

Being with someone is always a battle. There is always something new which you might encounter about the person. People might think that living with the same person gets boring after sometime. However, that is not true. At all!!!! Through my journey of the last six years, the only constant thing that I have learned is that people change CONSTANTLY!!! There is always something new to find out about the person you are with. 

'My Man of Steel' is a man who has never let me get bored. We fight everyday. And no that is not a gross exaggeration. My friends abandoned me early on in the relationship just because of the reason that we fight everyday. Well so far we have been going strong for the past six years. I could not ask for a man who is better for me than him. It might sound a bit exaggerated, but it is true. there is no man in this world who knows me more than my better half.

I am an avid television viewer. It is my sole time pass when I do not have anything to work at. But over the years, even with my continuous persistence, my better half has not been able to like the things which I watch. It has been very infuriating. I love getting lost in the whole fairy tale of the drama i am watching. Or the movies that I watch. And my practical half has always used a level head when watching television with me. 

However, my nagging has born some fruit. I have gotten him interested in movies. All sorts of them. So now we try and watch all new movies opening together. It gets hard with the different time tables we operate on. Alas we make do with what we have. 

Man of Steel just hit the cinemas around us. So we caught the first show which was put on. As we went to sit and watch the movie, I was sure of being more interested in the show than he would be. But I was mistaken, he liked the movie. In fact he loved the movie. It was a nice change from what I was used to with him in a cinema hall. 

As I watched the movie and held his hand, the resemblance of the man screen and the man sitting next to me became evident. My man did not have the ability to save the world, but he had on numerous occasions saved me. There was no problem of mine which he had not been able to solve. There was no tear of mine which he could not turn into a smile. Over the years he had been there for me on more occasions than I could count. 

It might be expected of a partners to be caring and supportive of each other. But I would like to point out there are times when both the people get fed up of being there for each other. They like to spend time alone and apart to get a breath of fresh air. But this has not happened with us so far. It might sound cliched that my man has been there for me above and beyond what is expected of him. 

This doesn't mean he is not infuriating. There are times when i just wish he was not around me. Who would not? But even in such times I would like nothing better than to curl up next to him with a good steamy novel to read.......

Love might not conquer all, but from what I think, devotion and time spent with each other surely conquers all.
