Today marks a significant milestone – our 15-year wedding anniversary. It’s a day meant to celebrate love, partnership, and the incredible journey we’ve shared. Andy, I want to start by saying how much I love you. You’ve been my rock, my partner, and my best friend through all these years. Our journey together has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with unforgettable moments, shared dreams, and countless memories that I hold dear.
But today, as we reach this milestone, I must be honest about my feelings. Despite the love I have for you, there’s a part of me that’s not happy, and I feel it’s important to share why. Our life together has always been intertwined with your tennis career. Your dedication and hard work have brought us incredible highs – the triumphs at Wimbledon, the Olympic gold medals, and the countless victories that have made us proud. I’ve stood by your side through it all, cheering you on, supporting you, and sharing in your successes and struggles.
However, in this shared journey, I’ve often felt that I’ve lost a part of myself. Your career has demanded so much – the constant travel, the relentless training schedules, and the public scrutiny. It’s been a life in the spotlight, one where our private moments are rare and often fleeting. I’ve tried to be strong, to adapt and find my own identity within this whirlwind, but it hasn’t always been easy.
There have been times when I’ve felt isolated, carrying the weight of our family while you chase your dreams on the court. The pressure to maintain a perfect image, to be the supportive wife and mother, has taken a toll on me. I’ve struggled with finding a balance between being there for you and carving out my own path.
Andy, I want you to understand that this isn’t about blaming you. I know how much you love and appreciate me, and I see the effort you make to show it. But the nature of your career means that our lives are often dictated by its demands. As we celebrate our 15 years together, I can’t help but reflect on the sacrifices we’ve both made – and the ones I’ve made quietly, behind the scenes.
Our love is strong, but I believe it can be even stronger if we take the time to address these feelings. I want us to find a way to create more moments for ourselves, away from the chaos of the tennis world. I need to rediscover my passions and dreams, and I want to do that with your support. Our journey doesn’t have to be solely about your career; it can also be about finding a new balance that allows both of us to thrive.
Today, as we celebrate our anniversary, let’s also make a commitment to work on these aspects of our relationship. Let’s prioritize each other, our family, and our own personal growth. I believe that by acknowledging these feelings and working through them together, we can create an even stronger, more fulfilling partnership.
Andy, I love you more than words can express, and I believe in us. Let’s use this milestone as a turning point, a chance to build an even better future together. Happy anniversary, my love. Here’s to us, and to the journey ahead.
