I have chose to discuss my relationship with my husband of 2 years; we have been together a total of 6 years. We have experienced a wide variety of emotions and situations together during this time. Being in a committed relationship for so long, I have learned to trust him and love him unconditionally, we have become each other’s best friend, partner and everything.
