i'm male, 32, have had a lot of partners in my life and am finally with a woman whom i love, who loves me, and whom i plan on marrying.

we met online 13 years ago this year on a forum, and became very close friends who've talked and known eachother and always stayed in touch ever since.

3 years ago i was finally able to find a year where i could meet her, which happened to be ten years after we met online. i asked her to choose a month, and i flew from australia to see her in prague in august of 2015. we fell further in love and decided to try and now i'm travelling the world to stay with her while she works as an art director for a game dev. and it's the most amazing feeling i've ever felt in my life.

when you have someone who shows just as much empathy and consideration for you as you do them, someone who will compromise their life for you as much as you would them, who loves you truly for what you represent to them, who you are inside and what you are, as you do them... man it's something i've never felt before, and used to think i knew what love  was. but this is something else.

all the pain i endured through my life before this, the hardship from previous heartbreaks, the depression i suffered, it was all worth it to grow into the person i am today who loves this woman with every part of his soul. life's pretty nutty.
