Yeah, at that stage we would then talk about family and next house and goals and that kind of thing, but it's sort of a bit up in the air at the moment.

I think we are very independent people, but I also think –

being it's probably like a regional and rural thing as well like we were first together when I was living at mum and dad's and so we lived about an hour and a half apart so I think the distance has always been between us and then when I moved to Melbourne I sort of thought oh this could be make or break like you know he might walk away he might just think oh she's going to move to Melbourne whatever and he at that stage had no intention of moving with me so I was like well

we're fresh into this relationship.

It's either going to work or it's not.

I'm doing me, you're doing you, whatever happens, happens.

Yes.

And he was very supportive.

He was like, absolutely go do what you need to do.

And then once you've got that experience, come back and, you know, we'll go from there.

But I sort of thought, oh, I don't know.

This is too good to be true.

But

We did end up seeing it through.

And I think like it was hard and COVID was terrible.

But I think just putting everything into perspective, like at the end of the day, we're a couple of hours apart.

Some people were across the other side of the world and couldn't see their family.

So in the scheme of things, it really wasn't that bad.

Yeah, it's not that deep.

But yeah, I just think.
