Shakespeare wrote that the course of true love never did run smooth.
Shakespeare escribió que el curso del amor verdadero nunca es tranquilo.

He was absolutely right!
Y tenía toda la razón.

My partner and I have been together for a decade.
Mi pareja y yo llevamos juntos una década.

We first met when we both went to the same university.
Nos conocimos cuando íbamos a la misma universidad.

We met at the Wine Society AGM, in the Student’s Union.
Nos conocimos en la asamblea general de la Sociedad del Vino, en el Sindicato de Estudiantes.

I thought he was talking to my tall, blonde friend but it turned out he was talking to me.
Pensé que estaba hablando con mi amiga alta y rubia, pero resultó que estaba hablando conmigo.

I remember seeing him for the first time and not really being that impressed.
Recuerdo que lo vi por primera vez y no me impresionó mucho.

He was tall, dark and handsome but he also had a pretty high pitched voice and that was off-putting.
Era alto, moreno y guapo, pero también tenía un tono de voz bastante agudo que me resultaba desagradable.

Later on he told me that he’d just been nervous and that was why his voice was so high pitched!
Más tarde me dijo que estaba nervioso y que por eso tenía la voz tan aguda.

We were together for about six weeks before we broke it off the night before my finals.
Estuvimos juntos unas seis semanas hasta que rompimos la noche antes de mis exámenes finales.

We didn’t speak to each other then for a year, during which time we both dated other people.
Después estuvimos un año sin hablarnos, durante el cual ambos salimos con otras personas.

Dating other people never felt quite right, but one day he text me and asked me to go for a meal.
Salir con otras personas nunca me pareció bien, pero un día me mandó un mensaje y me pidió que fuéramos a comer juntos.

We went on a date to an haute cuisine restaurant called Abode.
Fuimos a un restaurante de alta cocina llamado Abode.

We stayed together after that, but I didn’t tell my parents for ages that we were back together!
Después seguimos juntos, pero no les dije a mis padres durante mucho tiempo que habíamos vuelto.

Eventually we moved in together.
Al final nos fuimos a vivir juntos.

I think it is always a test of a relationship when you move in with someone.
Creo que cuando te vas a vivir con alguien, la relación siempre se pone a prueba.

It took a while for things to settle down, but it was nice to go home to each other every night.
Tardamos un tiempo en asentarnos, pero era agradable volver a casa con el otro cada noche.

After a few years, we decided to get married.
Al cabo de unos años, decidimos casarnos.

Every relationship goes through ups and downs, and we have had plenty.
Todas las relaciones sufren altibajos, y nosotros hemos tenido muchos.

The important thing is to just keep communicating and being honest.
Lo importante es seguir comunicándonos y ser sinceros.
