congrats!!! This is wonderful news, and I'm very happy for you! Even though I've never talked to you before, I'm always happy to see soemone find love and make the connection. yay!

I know that long distance can, for some people, be difficult but in the end, I totally agree with you that if you're willing to stick with them through that distance, they are probably worth sticking with in the end And I agree that it can build trust if you work at it, and as you say, fight for them. Good for you both.

Good luck and I'm glad you posted, because it's always nice to hear good news on here when things are, a lot of times, very distressing here on this site.

So thank you for that.
