How did the two of you meet?
How long have you been together?
I received a job offer across the state in a different city right out of school and during the height of the recession. I knew the job offer was for a great place and I decided to accept it. When my partner found out about the offer he knew it meant we would have to live apart since he couldn’t move because his family needed him, due to a recent traumatic event they had endured.
One night before I was set to move to Nashville, my partner, with tears in his eyes told me that we would drift apart and I would leave him once I got settled into this new life in a new city. I promptly told my partner that he was wrong and that I was going to marry him some day and that if he didn’t believe me, I would marry him before I move just to prove my love for him. We decided not to get married, but rather remain engaged.
I lived four years in Nashville working at a wonderful job, but miserable that my partner still was unable to come and live with me. I eventually decided to move back to where we first met and now that we are officially together again the next step was to begin planning the day we started talking about six years ago!
