Okay, sorry, I'm a little nervous. It's okay, take a breath. Okay, so about a year ago, I met a guy on a dating app. It went really well. I felt like I had worked on myself a lot for about six months, was ready to finally fall in love and meet the right person. First date went great. We even talked about possible couples therapy on the first date.

like got married too young. And I said, well, did you ever try couples therapy? And he said, yes. And he's like, I love that you asked that question. Like I would want that in a future partner and stuff like that. So I was like, Oh, okay. Green flags. Cool. So fast forward, we dated for 11 months, met his family. He is from England. So I flew to England and met his family.

We even went to Paris for a weekend. He met my family, came to my brother's wedding, very like asking like, where are you at? Where are your feelings at? Et cetera. He was always very reassuring. I felt very respected, considered, loved in the relationship. But about five months in, I brought up like my feelings because he hadn't said I love you yet.

And I hadn't said it either, but I was feeling those feelings. So I brought that up because we were just about to go to England to meet his family. And I just wanted to know where he was at. And he said that he just wants to be really sure when he says that. And I found out more about his divorce. He got kind of screwed over financially. She didn't want to go to therapy, stuff like that.

So I was like, okay, that makes sense. And he's like, I said, so you just want me to be patient? He said, yes, just, you know, be patient. So when we go to England, he says, I feel closer to you. Like everything is just going great. So much so that I was moving cities and he was actually planning on moving to the same city. We started dating about an hour, like we were living about an hour apart.

And then I moved about two hours away from him. And then he followed eventually because he was waiting on his house to sell. When he sold his house, I said, you know, why don't you just stay with me for a little bit? Because he was trying to buy another house. And so he said, oh yeah, that's a great idea. We can like see how that goes. Looking back, it was not a great idea, but why not?
