What a wonderful update! Things seem to be on the up and up for you and W. Be sure not to backslide on those changes for you're gonna have to live with them ...be comfortable in your own skin.
I also think that creating new memories by experiencing different sights and trying different things together actually bonds a couple.
I am so happy to hear all this Thorn! So awesome for you!!! It seems like you both are on the right track and that is just so awesome to hear!
