We make jokes and laugh about it, but we also take it very seriously. Your connection must make you feel confident and safe. I’m quite content and upbeat. I get that assurance and assurance from Arjun, and it works both ways. Yes, I agree that we shouldn’t open every card at once.
Every day is still filled with love for our relationship and way of life. I always tell him I want to spend my entire life with him. We will work out the details, but I am certain he is my man.”
