I figured it has been long enough that everyone deserves an update on me. My girlfriend and I were engaged last week after over 2.5 years of dating. It's very exciting and Im hopeful that I can use the skills Ive learned over the last few years to really make this into a long-lasting relationship. I believe that she and I are a great match and have a lot of potential for success together. Were working on planning the wedding for early 2019 and were both very happy!
To all of the people out there struggling now, Ive been there. Listen to all of the people on here that tell you to keep moving, to keep thinking positive, to just keep going one day at a time. The only way through the darkest ties is forward. I remember thinking on a plane ride once that if it went down, nobody would really even care/notice. We ALL have people in our lives that care for us and about us. We just need to keep focusing on those positive aspects, and grow those.
Wishing you all the best.
UNBELIEVABLY WELL SAID!! Matt, thanks for coming back and letting newbies know that there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Congrats on the engagement. Well done on giving it 2.5 years as well. The problem so many make these days is getting married too quickly. Get to know the other person. And her family, before making a life-long commitment. Marriage is difficult, and you need to make sure before you jump. I think the minimum dating length should be 2 years. That is long enough for most of the warts to show through.
Again, congrats!
