I think this is a great way for any one to see it from different lights. I often think we are all good at suggesting advice to other people's problem, however, we are blinded when we have to find a solution to our own problem. Maybe it's true that love is blind. At least it blinds the one who’s involved.
I'm in a steady relationship with my boyfriend right now. We met online, which I still think it's unbelievable. We are in a long distant relationship but he still drives 2 hrs to spend every weekend together. We are looking into moving in together soon. It will be much better for us since we long to see each other every day.
I know relationship is hard to maintain, let alone grow. I do have faith that we will be able to do it. We both know that we are together because we want to, not because we have to.
