I do not ask for acceptance or understanding. I only ask for an open mind.

I know it’s hard to comprehend what we have, difficult to fathom why I’m in this relationship.

I do not have the answers, I do have explanations but this I know, he makes me happy. He understands me, accepts me and all my faults, gives me something I have not felt or even knew existed. He made me smile and laugh again.

Yes, our relationship is not perfect. It never will be. It is not ideal. It is something, even I had hard time accepting. But it is real.

I might be wrong. It may not last for a long time. I know that. I am prepared for that. But right now, it is what I choose. And I know you are not ready to understand and accept. All I ask for is that you be open-minded to the possibility that I might be right in choosing him, in sticking to this thing we have.

I can take the jokes and the criticisms. But I need for you to at least show me that there is room for acceptance that I might be right.

I cannot demand it from you, but I hope you can give it to me. Because it would definitely make my already sad and difficult life, less sad and difficult.
