Nick and I met when I came to visit his housemate with a friend of mine. He had a partner at the time and we had a pretty short sort of conversation but I am pretty sure I started ranting about being fat and posting photos of myself online or something and then he excused himself and went to find my site.
We kept in touch on MSN and after his relationship broke up he invited me to his place and we went to a gig, and then I went back to his place the next weekend and stayed the whole time. I didn’t really want to be in a relationship so we were just “friends” for a few months until I realised I was in a relationship anyway. And that was six years ago!
He is a precious, kind and thoughtful person who has supported me through a lot of shit, I can’t really imagine what life would be like without him being there to talk to and make jokes with.
