Something with starting my posts with songs…as I said before, must be my gay gene.

So, how do you know your girlfriend is in love with you. Well, I can’t say how you know, but I can tell you how I knew. I’ve only been in one relationship, and it’s the one I’m still in. So, strictly speaking I can’t really work it out, I can only tell you what I know.

(Just to save confusion, my ‘girlfriend’ is an mtf trans boy, so I’ll be referring to ‘he’ instead of ’she’).

Well, for the first few months of our relationship we were traveling across the country every other week to see each other. Now, that ain’t cheap and it took a lot of time, so I guess that’s one thing. We live with each other and we’ve put up with a lot from each other. I know I’m the first person he’ll come to when he’s sad, happy, joyous, worried…anything.

And he tells me every day.

But I think love is about trust. I trust that he loves me. There is no official piece of paper you sign that says you love someone, there’s no vow you take or anything that guarantees you are in love. Yes there are marriages and Civil Partnerships, but that doesn’t confirm love. Love is trust. I trust that he won’t go off with anyone else, I trust that he won’t keep huge secrets from me or go off and live another life.

And I trust that if, one day, he decides he no longer wants to be with me then he’ll tell me. But that ain’t gonna happen ;o)
